WHAT IS ORP

ORP-Oxidation Reduction Potential. This is basically a measure of the molecular charge which gives the level of the ability of a substance to oxidize or reduce oxidation. A positive ORP charge indicates that the substance is an oxidizer. The higher the positive charge the stronger the oxidizing power. To oxidize involves the exchange of electrons between two atoms. A negative ORP indicates the ability to donate electrons, the higher the negative charge, the greater the ability to provide electrons.

The lower the ORP (negative value) of the food or drink, the greater potential it has to reverse the aging process of the body at a cellular level. Fresh squeezed raw orange juice* has an ORP of about -250 Mv. Enzymes must be present in a food for it to truly be considered a rejuvenating substance. As substances become oxidized, their ORP rises. A polluted environment will increase the oxidation of the body by creating free radicals in it. ORP level ozone, ORP levels, ozone, oxidation reduction potential.

ORP is a term used frequently in the water treatment & food processing industry.

ORP level ozone, ORP levels, ozone, oxidation reduction potential

ORP stands for Oxidation-Reduction Potential. So what is that? The best definition I can give is that “ORP is a measure of the cleanliness of the water & its ability to break down contaminants”. It has a range of –2,000 to + 2,000 and units are in “mV” (millivolts). Since ozone is an oxidizer, we are only concerned with positive ORP levels (above 0 mV).

ORP sensors work by measuring the dissolved oxygen. Disadvantages ORP cannot be used as a direct indicator of dissolved ozone residual, except in very clean water applications. Advantages ORP is a convenient measure of ozone’s ability to perform a chemical task. ORP and OzoneIn a clean water system, using ORP to measure the dissolved ozone status works well. . * Disinfection is destruction of specific pathogenic microorganisms ** Sterilization is the destruction of all microbial life. CHASING THE HIGH ORP. Adventures with Ionized Water by Walter Last Ionized water has several health promoting qualities.

CHASING THE HIGH ORP

I have no doubt that the most important of these is the strong antioxidant or reducing property of alkaline ionized water. This led me to experiment with my Jupiter Masterpiece (equivalent to the Technos Ionizer in ) to establish the conditions for consistently generating the highest antioxidant potential in my water. Here I want to share some of my experiences in the hope of helping others to improve the quality of their ionized water. Lets start with some basics. The antioxidant activity can be measured as the Oxidation–Reduction Potential or O.R.P. To confuse things, a high negative ORP can also result from a high level of dissolved hydrogen, and in this case it does not have any antioxidant property. The principle of antioxidant activity is the availability of electrons to neutralize any so-called free radicals with oxidizing qualities that may damage biological systems. My Observations.
