RIO Series OSG System and Ancillary Components
Electrolytic Cell
The proprietary membrane-less electrolytic cell produces a mixture of oxidants and is
manufactured by MIOX. The RIO Series cell is configured to provide modular cell capacity
depending on the disinfectant requirement. Each MIOX cell module is configured to provide
60 lb/day Free Available Chlorine (FAC), while each HYPO cell module is rated to provide
100 lb/day FAC. Each cell can be configured from a single cell module (60 or 100 lb/day
FAC) up to a 5-module (300 or 500 lb/day FAC) cell.
The electrolytic reaction that takes place within the cell occurs under pressure (5-25 psi, 34172 kPa). The cell is equipped with a rupture disc (pressure relief port) that is designed to
rupture in the event of over-pressurization within the cell.
Water Softener
All MIOX equipment requires soft water. Hard water will cause severe damage to the cell.
Water hardness must be maintained at less than one grain/gallon (17.1 mg/L of CaCo
). The softener resin is recharged with brine from the brine generator. The correct sized
recharge meter disc is determined by water hardness.
Brine Generator
The capacity of brine generators ranges from 500 lb., manually loaded systems, to 160,000
lb. systems, pneumatically loaded from a transport truck. A mechanical float valve assembly
which monitors the brine level is included with the brine generator.
Oxidant Storage Tank
The oxidant storage tank is an integral part of an on-site generator, and is sized to meet the
injection demand at the peak hourly flow. The oxidant tank must be vented directly to the
atmosphere outside the facility.

Brine Pressure Boost System
A brine pressure boost system insures that sufficient brine pressure is supplied to the brine
metering pump to maintain optimal cell operation amperage. A separate electrical circuit is
required for the brine boost system.
P/N: 102-00076-G Page 10
MIOX RIO Series Operators Manual
Tubing and Fittings
All tubing and fittings shipped by MIOX meet Schedule 80 specifications. The U.S.
specifications ensure that materials are rated for proper thickness, pressure requirements,
and temperature resistance for the specific application.
RIO Series OSG System Optional Equipment
Heater or Chiller
If the OSG feed water temperature is less than 40°F (5°C) or greater than 95°F (35°C),
damage to the electrolytic cell will occur. A water heater or chiller is recommended to bring
the water temperature into range.
Oxidant Solution Injection System
MIOX can supply injection systems to dose raw water with disinfectant. These systems
come with separate installation and operation instructions.
Water Pressure Boost System
A water pressure boost system can be included to insure minimum water pressure for OSG
operation and support of water softener regeneration. A separate electrical circuit is
required for the water pressure boost system.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Ensure that the facility and the installation are in conformance with all codes and
standards. Please refer to the MIOX Hydrogen White Paper or your local authority having
jurisdiction for more information. Untrained persons should not attempt to install or
operate MIOX OSGs.
A liquid barrier system is mandatory. Ensure that all hydrogen vent lines slope
towards the oxidant tank.
Ensure that no valves, drop legs, or P-traps are in the hydrogen vent lines. Do NOT cross connect
vent lines.
Ensure that storage tanks are labeled properly.
Disconnect power before working on units. Do not reconnect the power to the switch gear enclosure
until installation is complete.
Do not defeat or tamper with electrical interlocks or lockout mechanisms.
All MIOX units require a good earth ground. A neutral is not a substitute for a proper earth
ground. Electrical wiring to all MIOX units should be performed by a certified electrician.
The circuit feeding the MIOX OSG should be separated from other power devices.
Failure to install unit properly could result in electrical shock.

Receiving and Unpacking the RIO Series OSG
Your RIO Series OSG has been carefully packed to avoid shipping and handling damage. The
OSG enclosures are shipped in crated pallets. Brine generator tanks, oxidant tanks, water
softeners, and other ancillary equipment are also shipped on pallets. To safely unpack your OSG,
complete the following steps:
1. Unpack the OSG enclosure - Remove the crate from around the enclosure.
Check the enclosure for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Unpack Installation Kits - Remove the contents from the brine generator and
oxidant storage tanks. These items include the OSG installation kit, the solution
tank level switch, the softener installation kit, and the solution tank drop tube.
3. Unpa ck the water softener - Remove the water softener towers from their
packaging. Do not turn the softeners over or lay them on their sides as this will
disturb the softening resin and gravel beds inside the softener and affect softener
performance.
4. Unpack all other equipment - Remove any optional components (heaters,
chillers, injection systems, etc.) from their packaging and inspect for damage.
After completing a visual inspection, compare ordered items against what was delivered. Should
you find anything damaged or missing, please contact your MIOX sales agent or MIOX Customer
Service.
Securing the Cabinet
The RIO Series OSG is designed with mounting feet and holes for securing the enclosure to the
floor. While there are no vibrational components that would cause the system to move, good
seismic design practice and building codes in some areas require that the unit be secured to the
floor. Concrete anchors or other suitable hardware is recommended to secure the RIO OSG to
the floor. Consult local seismic codes for site-specific requirements.
