Water disinfection technology

Disinfection is an integral part of any food-related processing solutions or waste management systems and is also essential in any potable water supply solution.

Residual wastewater is disinfected to replenish natural water resources, to store as process water for long periods, or to use as drinking water. INNOWATECH Anolyte®, a very powerful disinfectant technology where the disinfectant concentrate is produced exclusively from drinking water, electricity, and a small amount of high-purity NaCl, found its place among Sinowatek's eco-friendly, state-of-the-art technologies.

The INNOWATECH Anolyte® disinfectant is produced in Sinowatek’s manufacturing facility under the tradename Sulafect^TM

The disinfectant is manufactured in an electrolytic process, where a pure saline (brine) solution is split into two phases within a membrane cell.

Approximately 90% of the pure saline solution is transformed at the anode into a pH neutral hypochlorous acid (HOCL) solution, the active ingredient of INNOWATECH anolyte. About 10% of the pure saline solution is transformed at the cathode into a catholyte and is not used as a disinfectant.

Potable water runs through a filter into the conditioning module of the Aquadron, where it is softened to 0.2 ° dH.  The softened water is adjusted to the required salt concentration in the brine tank.  The salt concentrate is then transferred to the electrolysis reactor in the Aquadron.  

The manufacturing of Anolyte takes place in the electrolysis reactor and the final product is transferred to a reservoir.  From the reservoir, the Anolyte concentrate is injected into the water to be disinfected by dosing pumps at the rate appropriate for the application.  The application dictates the strength of the concentrate.  

For example, in the treatment of drinking water, Anolyte is used in concentrations of parts per thousand, while in the treatment of process water, it is used with considerably higher concentrates.
