Innova Corporate (India) supplies a silver-hydrogen peroxide based drinking water disinfectant in Oman — a modern alternative to traditional chlorine for potable water systems. Across the Sultanate, from Muscat's hotel and hospital water networks to the labor camps of Sohar and Duqm, from school water tanks in Nizwa and Ibri to bottling facilities in Salalah, safe drinking water is a continuous challenge. Our disinfectant eliminates bacteria, viruses, algae, and fungi — while leaving no chlorine taste, no harmful disinfection byproducts, and no corrosive residue in the water supply.
The formulation is built for Oman's climate realities. Ambient temperatures that regularly exceed 40°C in summer create ideal conditions for bacterial regrowth in storage tanks and long distribution pipelines. Silver-hydrogen peroxide chemistry remains stable and effective across this full temperature range, and unlike chlorine, it does not degrade rapidly in hot water. Silver ions provide extended residual protection through the distribution network, while hydrogen peroxide delivers fast-acting oxidation against a broad spectrum of pathogens — including E. coli, Legionella, Pseudomonas, and sulfate-reducing bacteria.
The formula is non-toxic, odorless, non-tainting, and biodegradable, breaking down into water and oxygen with no harmful residues. This makes it ideal for applications where chlorine is problematic: bottled water plants, food and beverage processing, hospital water systems, hospitality facilities, and remote oilfield camps across the Interior. It also remains fully effective at low operating temperatures, giving year-round microbiological control across the entire process line.
Chlorine has served water disinfection well for a century, but in Oman's specific conditions it has real drawbacks. High temperatures accelerate chlorine decay, so maintaining residual through long pipelines from Barka and Ghubrah SWRO plants to inland distribution points becomes difficult. Chlorine also reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in feed water to form trihalomethanes — regulated disinfection byproducts. And in hospitality applications from Muscat to Salalah, chlorine taste and odor generate guest complaints that operators must address. Silver-hydrogen peroxide avoids all three problems while delivering equivalent or better microbiological control. The silver component provides residual protection like chlorine, but without the taste, odor, or DBP formation. The peroxide component delivers rapid oxidative kill of bacteria and viruses. Together, they provide a two-stage disinfection mechanism that's particularly well suited to Oman's water treatment environment.

A 2,500-person labor camp in Duqm SEZ was drawing potable water from a local RO plant and storing it in three 50,000-liter tanks before distribution to accommodation blocks. The facility had been using chlorine tablets for disinfection but was facing two recurring problems: bacterial counts occasionally exceeded safe limits during summer months despite regular dosing, and workers complained about the chlorine taste in drinking water. After switching to Innova's silver-hydrogen peroxide disinfectant dosed at 5 ppm into the storage tanks, the facility reported consistent zero bacterial counts across 12 months of monitoring, complete elimination of taste complaints, and simplified dosing — one product replacing the previous chlorine tablet + pH adjustment program. The camp has adopted the disinfectant as standard across its water system, and the operator has extended the approach to two additional camps in Sohar and Salalah.
Application & Dosage: Typical dosing for potable water disinfection ranges from 0.002% to 10% w/w, depending on the specific sanitization requirement and biological load. For storage tank disinfection at Oman facilities, 5–20 ppm is common. For CIP applications in food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants, dosing can range significantly higher. The formulation works effectively across all Oman ambient temperatures and does not require pH adjustment. Our technical team provides free dosage recommendations based on your system volume, water temperature, and target residual.
Q1: Is silver-hydrogen peroxide safe for daily drinking water consumption?
Yes. At recommended dosages, silver-hydrogen peroxide is approved for potable water use in many
countries including across the GCC. The peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, and silver
remains at extremely low concentrations — far below any health threshold. The World Health
Organization recognizes silver at these levels as safe for drinking water applications.
Q2: Does it leave any residual in stored water?
Yes — and this is one of its key advantages. Silver ions provide long-lasting residual protection
through storage tanks and distribution pipelines, similar to how chlorine provides residual. This
is especially valuable in Oman's long distribution networks where chlorine residual decays rapidly
in the heat, but silver residual remains stable for weeks.
Q3: Can it be used in food and beverage processing in Oman?
Yes. The formulation is non-foaming, non-tainting, and leaves no residue that affects product quality.
It is suitable for CIP systems, fruit and vegetable washing, and process water in food and beverage
plants across Sohar Free Zone, Salalah Free Zone, and other industrial areas of Oman.
Q4: Do you supply drinking water disinfectant across Oman?
Yes. We supply across Oman including Muscat, Barka, Sohar, Duqm, Salalah, Nizwa, Sur, Ibri, and remote
Interior locations. Standard packaging of 25 kg, 250 kg, and 1000 kg IBC is available with regular
dispatch from India to Omani ports. Bulk pricing is available for municipal authorities, labor camp
operators, and multi-site hospitality groups.
Storage & Safety: For our Oman clients, store in original containers in a cool, ventilated, and dry area. Keep away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight to maintain chemical stability. Do not allow the product to freeze. For detailed application protocols, dosage guidance, and shelf life information, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
