Contax Partners' Business Investment division has established a proven track record of empowering its clients to achieve successful partnerships creation in the Middle East and Africa.
We are committed to actively identify new and innovative technologies worldwide and enable their successful launch in the region working closely with the patent rights owners as they grow into profitable ventures.
Today we are proud to announce an exciting addition to our business investments' portfolio - Aman Water, which owns exclusive rights to CLO2Ix technology for the Middle East region.
This is a unique and US-patented process of water disinfection, allowing production of Chloride Dioxide in a safe, effective, non-hazardous and environmentally friendly way - without any by-product or residues. It is currently the most advanced and most reliable ClO2 generating technology in the world.
Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a very effective oxidizer and biocide that can be used in almost any water disinfection applications - from the reservoir to the tap and for diverse purposes varying from recovering "soured" oil wells to disinfecting poultry houses.
Historically, however, it has been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to produce chlorine dioxide in a safe manner and in a pure form without unwanted by-products.
ClO2iX offers an innovative solution to these problems through a catalytic CLO2 production system which safely dispenses the required amount of the pure CLO2 solution free of by-products and without the need for storage.
Tony Mitchell, General Manager for Aman Water has said: "I am very encouraged by the levels of interest in the CLO2IX technology we have seen from this region so far and by the diverse range applications in which ClO2IX can provide excellent solutions for our clients. Since the launch of the technology we have already installed ClO2IX systems in various institutions including King Hamad University Hospital (Bahrain) and Al-Rai Foods (KSA) amongst others. We are looking forward to continue to offer this unique solution to serve local water treatment and disinfection needs and we have ambitious growth plans for the Middle East".
Filippo Fantechi, the CEO of Contax Partners, added: "We are dedicated to introducing those niche and innovative technologies that would help our local clients to save costs, time and effort. We will be strengthening this exciting venture with our local operational support and business development capabilities in the Middle East energy arena."
Aman Water will be headquartered in Bahrain, and will be serving all GCC countries

About CLO2:
ClO2 is a stable, dissolved gas that is a strong bactericide and virucide, which is highly effective against ALL pathogenic organisms including Legionella, Listeria, Salmonella, Amoeba cysts, Giardia cysts, E. Coli, and Cryptosporidium.
Importantly, because it is a true gas in water (unlike chlorine which hydrolyses/becomes ionic in water), CIO2 destroys biofilms, which harbour and support the proliferation of many dangerous pathogens, so bacterial re-growth is significantly impeded.
Moreover, Chlorine dioxide is a highly effective, eco-friendly micro-biocide that carries US EPA, FDA and UK Government approvals for many of its uses.
ClO2 is ideal for use in the following applications:
Ø RO Membranes - Membrane Cleaning & Prevention of Bio-fouling
Ø Cooling Tower Treatment - Disease Control and Biofilm Removal, Energy Savings
Ø Recovery of "Soured" Oil Wells
Ø Hot Water System Disinfection
Ø Food & Beverages Processing - Microbiological Control and Disinfection & C.I.P. applications
Ø Chilled Water Distribution Systems - Disinfection
Ø Odour Destruction
Ø Potable Water Treatment - Control of Legionella, Pseudomonads and other pathogenic organisms in Water Tanks/Storage vessels
Ø Desalinated Water - Prevention of Bromate Formation
Ø Food, Feed, Electronic Chip and Vehicle Washing
Ø Fire Water System Protection
Ø Healthcare Applications - Water Hygiene Programmes
Ø Agri- and Horti-culture - Disinfection of irrigation water
Ø Prevention of Macro-Biofouling at Sea Water Intakes
About ClO2IX:
ClO2IX - Catalytic Chlorine Dioxide
Clo2IX is the most advanced chlorine dioxide generating system in the world.
It utilizes a patented ion-exchange process in conjunction with a proprietary catalyst to produce ultra-pure ClO2 solutions with zero residual precursors (sodium chlorite) and zero byproducts.
The system overcomes all of the health & safety issues associated with other ClO2 systems as it utilizes a single chemical for production of the ClO2 and produces product at only 700 ppm (more than 100 times lower than the LEL (lower explosive limit).
Because of its unique levels of purity, and particularly its chlorine free nature, ClO2IX may be used to prevent biofouling of RO membranes, without causing any damage to the membrane, resulting in huge operational savings. This lack of chlorine also ensures that no byproducts, detrimental to health or the environment, are produced when utilizing ClO2IX systems e.g. Trihalomethanes and other halogenated hydrocarbons & organics, dioxins, bromate.
ClO2IX is the safest, most effective, most environmentally friendly and most reliable system available today.
There are in excess of 700 ClO2IX systems installed, operating and providing safe water to Hospitals and Healthcare facilities throughout the UK and Ireland.
Should you have any enquiries about the ClO2IX technology, systems or applications please get in touch with Tony Mitchell, General Manager of Aman Water on tony.mitchell@contaxpartners.com or +97317224456 ext 223.
