The science of Branilium™

Innovative solutions. Patented technologies. Certified safety. Proven at production scale.

Branilium™ is not a chemical additive, a UV system, or an ozone generator. It is a patented Advanced Oxidation Process that generates highly reactive species in a specific plasma phase, destroys pathogens at a molecular level, and stabilizes fluid chemistry continuously - without toxic byproducts, without chemical dosing, and without the limitations that affect conventional technologies under demanding industrial conditions.

The mechanism

How Branilium™ actually works

Conventional treatment methods target contaminants after they have already established themselves in the liquid. Branilium™ works differently. It generates highly reactive oxidative species in plasma phase and injects them directly into the liquid, destroying pathogens, biofilm, and organic contaminants at a molecular level – continuously, not periodically.

Where UV can struggle in turbid and high-COD conditions due to limited light penetration, Branilium™ operates independently of optical clarity. Where ozone can introduce chemical instability or safety handling concerns, Branilium™ produces no NOx formation and requires no special precautions. And where biocides leave toxic residue and risk building microbial resistance over time, Branilium™ creates neither.

The result is a self-stabilizing treatment loop – not a shock treatment that wears off, but a continuous process calibrated to your specific contamination load.

Certified

Brairtech has passed all the four categories

The ISO 10993 framework is the international standard for biological evaluation of medical devices, testing specifically for not irritating (physical soreness, skin irritation, or mental annoyance…), non-genotoxic (is cancer free), non-cytotoxic (do not harm, kill, or damage living cells), and non-sensitizing (allergic skin reactions, …). Branilium™ has passed all three categories independently. It carries this certification in the industrial liquid treatment market, meaning non-toxic for human contact and safe for ecosystem exposure, not as a marketing claim but as a verified, documented fact.

Technical questions, direct answers

Understand how Branilium™ performs in demanding industrial and clean water environments.

Can Branilium™ replace UV, Ozone, Plasma or chemical dosing?

In many industrial and clean water applications, yes. UV requires optical clarity and offers no residual protection, which can limit its effectiveness in turbid conditions. Ozone can leave toxic byproducts and introduces safety handling requirements. Chemical dosing is reactive and requires continuous management. Branilium™ delivers consistent, residual-free oxidation that works in turbid conditions and maintains performance continuously, making it a strong alternative where these limitations apply.

Does Branilium™ work with high-COD liquids?

Branilium™ is specifically engineered for biologically aggressive and high-COD fluids. Our modular system allows targeted oxidation for specific contaminants, making it effective in the complex operating conditions where conventional methods face the greatest challenges.

What does the ISO 10993 framework actually mean?

It is the international standard for biological evaluation of medical devices, testing specifically for cytotoxicity, irritation, genotoxicity and sensitizing. Branilium™ has passed all three categories independently - meaning it is verified non-toxic for human contact and safe for ecosystem exposure, not as a claim but as a documented, certifiable fact.

How is the system sized for my specific liquid?

Capacity is determined by pollution load - DO, COD, BOD, TDS, microbial density, oils, metals, and additives. Every installation requires liquid sampling, bench testing, and pilot validation before final sizing is issued.

How can the system keeps my liquid chemistry stable?

The IPC platform operates as a continuous stabilization loop, not a static treatment. Real-time monitoring adjusts dosing dynamically as contamination load fluctuates, maintaining stable treatment performance through production variability.

How long does it take to reach stable operation?

In validated installations, stable pathogen suppression has been achieved within six days of deployment. Exact timing depends on the contamination profile established during bench testing.

Understand what is contamination in process fluids, the impacts and the risks.

What is contamination in process fluids?

Contamination is the introduction of unwanted substances into a fluid system that can affect fluid stability, process performance and equipment reliability.

What types of contamination can occur?

Contamination can be biological, chemical or physical, including bacteria, biofilm, tramp oils, particles, fines, dirt or residues from other chemicals.

Where does contamination typically come from?

Hidden contamination can typically occur in previous process steps, for example washing residues on details, through insufficient filtration efficiency of cutting fluids, in the machine sump and associated components, from other chemicals in the workshop such as floor cleaning agents, through chips in the cutting fluid (dirt, abrasive particles, etc.), at dirty suction points, and through contamination introduced via the suction truck. These are often overlooked sources that can affect fluid stability and process reliability.

Why is contamination a problem?

Contamination can reduce fluid life, impact process quality, increase maintenance needs, cause odors, corrosion, instability and unplanned downtime.

Can small amounts of contamination have a large impact?

Yes. Even small volumes of contaminated fluid can affect the stability of an entire system.

How can hidden contamination be controlled?

By identifying risk points early and applying proactive control measures before problems escalate. Installing the IPCx Platform can help manage hidden contamination sources, improve fluid stability and support more reliable process conditions.

What are hidden contamination risks in process fluids?

Hidden contamination risks are areas in fluid systems where bacteria, biofilm, tramp oils and other contaminants can develop without being easily detected. These risks can affect fluid stability, process reliability and maintenance costs.

Where do these contamination risks typically occur?

Typical risk points include:

Blind lines, machine cavities and pump sumps
Ventilation loops and fluid traps with intermittent backflow
Rinse hoses containing stagnant fluid
Return flows from chip handling or briquetting processes
Floor channels and other hard-to-reach drainage points

Can small amounts of contamination really impact an entire system?

Yes. Even small volumes of contaminated fluid can affect a much larger system. For example, as little as 10 liters of contaminated metalworking fluid introduced into 10,000 liters of clean fluid may influence overall fluid performance.

Why is managing hidden contamination important?

Because hidden contamination often starts in places standard fluid management does not address, and can contribute to:

Fluid instability
Biological growth
Reduced process reliability
Higher maintenance needs
Shorter fluid life

What makes IPCx Platform different?

IPCx Platform focuses on protecting process fluids where contamination risks often begin, including hidden areas conventional approaches may overlook.
