BIOIONIX: Sustainable, Chemical-Free Food Processing

Making the World’s Food & Water Supply Safer

BIOIONIX empowers food processors to produce their own natural and safe disinfectant (or sanitizer) from just water and salt, eliminating the use of harmful chemicals and saving billions of gallons of water. BIOIONIX works with its partners to develop the chemical-free process for disinfection and water reconditioning that puts food quality, employee safety and planet health as priorities.

BIOIONIX® was originally founded by a NASA grant for space shuttle water reuse. While focusing on an out-of-world science, they developed a technology, capable of disrupting the chemical dependence in food processing. The BIOIONIX® solution safely eliminates harmful pathogens and diseases from all stages of food production. With its roots in space-age research, BIOIONIX brings a paradigm shift in the industry by elevating food quality and solving sustainability challenges for business leaders.

How it Works:

BIOIONIX empowers its partners to generate their own chemical-free alternative for disinfection in all stages of commercial food/beverage production. Offering a powerful disinfection, BIOIONIX requires only water and a small amount of salt. The solution can revert back into its original constituents-- requiring no special treatment for disposal.

More than just an electrochemical generator, The BIOIONIX® patented technology advances food safety with a natural, non-toxic solution that uses electrolysis to generate activated water, revolutionizing bacteria and pathogen control from farm to table.

BIOIONIX BIOSAIF24/7™ food safe solution creates BIO-ions- consisting of hydroxyl radicals for disinfection (non-corrosive), nanobubbles for cleansing, and electro-flocculation to reduce turbidity. All these actions are the three necessary components for water reuse.

The three-tiered technology acts as an artificial immune system, destroying the pathogens with no resistance.

Tier 1 represents the patented chambers that destroy all microbials that enter, Tier 2 provides continuous disinfection dispersing the natural SuperOxidants (HOCl) and Tier 3 is the BIOSAIF24/7 software that acts as a cognitive core, providing performance and sustainability data.

Water Savings

Customer feedback highlights the impact of the BIOIONIX technology, with clients reporting improved pathogen reduction, substantial water savings, time and cost savings. One partner aims to decrease their water consumption by 95% to conserve 7 billion gallons within three to five years. “Being able to reduce water turbidity and eliminate our partners’ concern of food/animal safety without additives allows our partners to think creatively along their sustainability journey,” Ryan Karns, CEO. “This saves costs, minimizes water usage, and reduces carbon footprint which is changing the World.” Championing a chemical-free solution, the BIOIONIX team is poised to revolutionize the way food is processed, setting new standards for environmental stewardship and quality in the industry. This FDA, USDA-approved technology is rendered via the company’s commercial program, PATH to ZERO Chemicals.

Environmentally Friendly Solution

● Cleaner: The nanobubbles and electro flocculation characteristics of BIO-ions-provide superior cleaning to hazardous and toxic chemicals.
● Safer: Our disinfection is non-toxic, non-odor, tasteless and completely safe for human handling. No risk of skin or lung burns as with other chemicals used.
● Healthier: A healthy environment is one that's free of disease-causing agents and conditions like pollution, and is safe for human health.

Consumers Call for Sustainability

Consumers and forward-thinking companies are looking beyond ingredients to the processes we use to make food and the impact to our planet. It’s time to eliminate chemicals and make the world’s food and water supply safer.

As anti-microbial resistance to today’s chemicals increases along with the need of improved environmental, food, and employee safety, the food production industry is facing challenging times that require new solutions. While more chemicals lead to higher costs due to demand/transportation/disposal, manual testing & interventions, increased equipment corrosion, employee safety, and compromised food quality - it’s time to break the chemical dependence.

When you remove hazardous chemicals (like PAA, bleach, ammonia, etc) from food processing, you improve taste and food quality, create a safer environment for employees, help the planet, save water, and change consumer perception.

The Future

“BIOIONIX has partnered with both regulatory bodies and the industry to develop and validate award-winning sustainable solutions on five continents,” Ryan Karns, CEO, “from bore holes in Africa to decreasing chemical/water use in the food/beverage industry - the world’s biggest brands are making the change to BIOIONIX.”

In 2024, the team validated the BIOIONIX solution for CIP/COP sanitizer replacement in the food processing industry. This solution is being rolled out with brands looking to call it quits on chemicals, extend the life of their equipment and create a safer environment for employees.

The company is also gearing up to add more application areas specific to animal-centered environments, enhancing food/employee safety and animal welfare in farms worldwide. This clear-cut roadmap reaffirms the company’s commitment to bringing a paradigm shift for pathogen elimination at every stage of the food process channel.
