The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that HPGen, a system created by Copenhagen-headquartered HPNow that produces ultra-high purity, safe-concentration hydrogen peroxide, is a pesticidal device able to be used across the nation.
Decided under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, the system can now be used for irrigation water treatment for plant protection and the mitigation of bio-foul and bio-film from irrigation lines; postharvest treatment for fruits of vegetables, for post-harvest crop protection and extension of shelf life; livestock drinking water for reduction of water-borne pathogens and improved animal health; and process water treatment for mitigation of bio-foul, biofilm and pathogens in industrial process and cooling water lines.
HPGen produces hydrogen peroxide using air, water and electricity. Because HPGen is intended for pesticidal purposes and uses a physical process to create hydrogen peroxide, EPA declared that it is a pesticidal device.
