Safe, Eco-Friendly, and Effective Water Disinfection Without Chemicals
A Better Way to Disinfect Water
Traditional water disinfection methods, such as chemical dosing with sodium hypochlorite and chlorine gas, often come with significant drawbacks, including the need to transport and store dangerous chemicals and the potential for creating harmful by-products. The Hydro-dis system offers a revolutionary and proven alternative. It’s a unique water disinfection technology that completely replaces these conventional methods with a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach.
The Hydro-dis system works by using the electrolytic breakdown of water to instantly destroy waterborne microorganisms and microflora. This process not only provides immediate disinfection but also converts chloride ions into hypochlorite, which leaves a measured chlorine residual in the treated water. This ensures sustained microbiological control and protection against the formation of biofilms and algal deposits in water circuits.
At Innow, we provide advanced chemical-free chlorination systems designed for a wide range of water use applications, from potable drinking water to wastewater treatment.
Key Features
- 100% Chemical-Free Disinfection:Â The Hydro-dis system uses the electrolytic breakdown of water to destroy microorganisms.
- Eco-Friendly and Safe:Â It disinfects water without producing the dangerous chlorinated by-products typically associated with chemical dosing systems.
- Automated and Low-Maintenance: The system is fully automated, requiring only routine checks and maintenance. Its self-cleaning technology increases the cell’s operational efficiency and ensures a long lifespan.
- No Calibration or Chemical Handling:Â The system requires no calibration and eliminates the need to transport or store chemicals on-site.
- Versatile Power Options:Â The energy-efficient design allows it to be solar or wind-powered, making it ideal for isolated and remote applications.
- Dual Disinfection Technology:Â It uses two powerful sanitizing agents simultaneously: short-lived Hydroxyl Radicals for primary disinfection and a measured concentration of hypochlorite for a residual, long-lasting effect.
- Modular and Scalable: The system is designed to be modular, allowing for increased treatment capacity by simply adding more cells. Cells are available to treat between 1,000 and 10,000 liters per hour (l/h), and larger systems up to 2M/D have been designed.
Benefits
- Health & Safety:Â No chemical residues in treated water and no dangerous chlorinated by-products.
- Cost-Effective: It reduces or eliminates the need for water treatment chemicals. The self-cleaning design also leads to reduced operating and maintenance costs.
- Eco-Friendly:Â This sustainable technology reduces environmental impact by eliminating the use of chemicals and their associated transportation.
- Compliance: The Hydro-dis® technology is an approved dual disinfection system under AS/NZ Standard 3666 and the Public and Environmental Health (Legionella) Regulations. It has also achieved Australian Standard 4020:2005 for products used with drinking water, one of the most rigorous standards in the world.
- Easy Integration:Â The system can be easily integrated into existing water circuits, causing minimal downtime or disruption.
- Maintains pH Balance: It tends to neutralize the pH of the water, reducing the need for costly pH correction chemicals.
Applications
- Potable (drinking) water treatment.
- Recreational water use (swimming pools, spas, ponds).
- Evaporative systems (cooling towers, evaporative air conditioners).
- Wastewater treatment plants (STP/ETP).
- Disaster relief situations (portable emergency response units).Â
