Provect-IR ® Antimethanogenic ISCR Reagent
Various analyses have been made between Provect-IR and purportedly similar ISCR reagents. However, a straightforward comparative analysis of Provect-IR Antimethanogenic ISCR Reagent and other older, conventional (e.g., no active control of excessive methanogenesis) ISCR materials yields a very compelling story (Read Full Report HERE).

Footnotes:
Calculations based on Provect-IR average ZVI “a” particle size of 17.5 microns.
Calculations based on Other average ZVI “b” particle size of 62.5 microns.
Our standard “Provect-IR15” product line material has 15% (weight basis) ZVI which is of premium grade, optimal particle size to balance reactivity and longevity, and very high in terms of purity and reactive surface area. Of course, customized formulations of Provectus products are always available based on site-specific needs. Comparing Provect-IR to seemingly similar ISCR reagents, it has:
- Natural antimethanogenic compounds
- Multiple hydrophilic, nutrient rich, complex organic carbon sources
- ZVI average particle size ca. 20 micron (varies based on product)
- Chemical oxygen scavengers
- Vitamin and mineral and nutrient sources
- US Patent protection (7,129,388; 7,531,709; 7,828,974; 8,147,694; 9,221,699).
Staff now at Provectus developed some of the original, conventional/older non-antimethanogenic ISCR reagents over 10 years ago so we know best that Provect-IR is simply a safer, better product. And it is very cost competitive!
In the immortal words of the former owner of Remington (Norelco) Razors – Mr. Victor Kermit Kiam II (1926-2001): “I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company!”
