Biodx Biological Chemical Technologies (Pty) Ltd (Biodx) manufactures a green biocide with a safe, anti-microbial and anti-viral active ingredient. Decont-X is a biocide formulated from a proprietary technology platform containing 100% natural citrus extract and is capable of accommodating a citrate/ascorbic acid in its chemical structure; it is a non-toxic biological product that requires no remedial treatment and is 100% biodegradable. Decont-A was then developed which uses a synthetic form of the citrus extract.  The TIA project entailed the development and optimisation of the manufacturing process, product formulation, field trials of DecontX to produce green biocide that meets customer performance specifications for industrial water treatment, and various other industries. Th project included designing a 100 tonne/month production plant, which was established with third-party funding. The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) also corroborated the viricidal activity of DecontX, against the enveloped virus SARS-CoV-2 in January 2021; and Biodx successfully obtained EU registration for PT2 (Disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals) and PT4 (Food and feed area) applications in July 2021.
