Aqueus’ TypHall Plus™ Achieves OMRI Certification for Organic Use: Setting a New Standard for Sustainable Chlorine Dioxide Activation
Troy, MI — Aqueus, the Michigan-based company behind Growthful™, today announced that its patented chlorine dioxide activator, TypHall Plus™, is now OMRI Listed® for use in organic production and processing. This certification affirms TypHall Plus’s compatibility with the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) and reinforces Aqueus’ mission to replace hazardous chemicals with safer, high-performance alternatives for water and surface sanitation.
Building on its successful 2025 launch, TypHall Plus continues to advance the chemistry of chlorine dioxide activation through Aqueus’ patented hydrogen-based technology. This innovation offers a safer alternative to traditional acids such as citric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric acid—yielding more sustained activation with a more environmentally-responsible solution.
“Earning OMRI certification validates what we’ve believed from the beginning,” said Mike Skinner, CEO of Aqueus. “TypHall Plus enables processors and growers to achieve exceptional disinfection performance while aligning with organic and sustainability standards. It’s a significant step forward for water treatment and food safety.”
TypHall delivers exceptional performance in critical disinfection applications, including:
- Sanitation of food-contact surfaces, vessels, and equipment lines
- Irrigation water treatment in conventional and organic production systems
- Industrial and cooling water systems, particularly under conditions where traditional chlorine is ineffective
With OMRI certification, TypHall Plus provides an approved solution for organic processors, growers, and manufacturers seeking safer, more efficient activation of chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) without compromising compliance or performance. The product is already gaining attention from producers in the food, agriculture, and industrial sectors looking to improve operational safety and reduce chemical hazards. Aqueus is currently seeking OMRI registration for Growthful, a liquid biostimulant powered by stabilized hydrogen chemistry that unlocks bound nutrients in soil for plant uptake, improving soil health and plant yields.
“Our goal is to make sustainable chemistry both practical and powerful,” added Skinner. “This OMRI certification opens new doors for organic-certified operations that need reliable, high-efficacy disinfection.”
