OxiAcWa plants are manufactured in the form of modules having output capacity by oxidants equal to 30, 50, 100 and 500 g/hour. The OxiAcWa product line consist of compact, safe and durable electrochemical reactors which generates aqueous solution of oxidants – mainly chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone – from 200 – 250 g/l sodium chloride solution and water.
The oxidant solution is meant for decontaminating water supplied to major consumers such as water purification plants, hydraulic works, sewage liquid decontamination systems, pulp- and paper industry, cooling towers, large swimming pools and spa resorts etc.
OxiAcWa can be used almost in every kind of water disinfection and treatment, also in the closed water cycles since the low salt concentration. The consumption by OxiAcWa device of sodium chloride contained in source solution is 98 – 99 %.
OxiAcWa generators are designed for on-site production of OxiAcWa. On-site production eliminates the necessity of storage and transportation of the hazardous substances and allows client to directly dose OxiAcwa in to the system. The OxiAcWa generators only need a small space, fresh water line and electric outlet to operate.
Many years’ experience of OxiAcWa plants operation and of electrochemically activated oxidants mixture solution application as disinfecting agent, gained at many drinking water purification stations, in swimming pools, in pools for reptiles and fish constructed at farms, at waste-water treatment stations, hospitals and petroleum refineries operated around the world, has demonstrated the following advantages of this technology over well-known and existing water disinfection and purification technologies.
OxiAcWa plants advantages over any other plants applied for water disinfection consist in opportunity to generate oxidants mixture solution which by many times exceeds its analogues in quality by all the parameters. This is achieved owing to FEM-7 flow electrochemical modular elements application in patented process flow sheets. As far as its operation is concerned, OxiAcWa plants have the following advantages:
- OxiAcWa plants not only successfully replace traditional cylinders with liquefied chlorine applied at small-, medium- and large scale drinking water-supply station but also exceed them in quality of water disinfection (500 to 300 000 m3 of water per 24 hours, and more).
- OxiAcWa plants are able to satisfy any requirements in oxidants mixture solution due to the fact that they could be completed to ensure any output capacity by oxidants owing to their modular construction.
- OxiAcWa plants permit to obtain the required quantity of oxidants solution and caustic soda directly at the place of their consumption.
- OxiAcWa plants could be located in existing chlorination premises, with available hydraulic and electric networks operated and without any design and installation works performed.
- OxiAcWa plants are compact: electrochemical unit of А-500 plant occupies approximately 0,3 m2 of the floor space.
- OxiAcWa plants ensure absolute safety of water disinfection process (OxiAcWa plants application is not governed by any safety regulations controlling chlorine production, storage, transportation and application, or by any rules of hydrogen production using water electrolysis method).
- OxiAcWa plants operation permits to reduce salt and electric energy consumption to minimum.
- In contrast to hypochlorite plants, OxiAcWa plants do not require any accumulation reservoirs and metering pumps application.
- OxiAcWa plants operation eliminates the necessity to create “estrangement areas” around chlorination premises and chlorine storehouses.
- OxiAcWa plants operation eliminates the necessity in poisonous substances storage, transportation and utilization.
The advantages of electrochemically activated oxidants mixture solution, OxiAcWa, obtained in OxiAcWa plants over sodium hypochlorite, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chloramine, ozone, ultraviolet have been multiply proved by researches, scientific reports and many years’ experience of its application.There are the following properties perfectly combined in electrochemically activated oxidants mixture solution:
- Oxidants mixture solution is characterized by high antimicrobial activity with respect to all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms, including spores.
- Oxidants mixture solution is efficient if its concentrations in water being processed are reduced relative to existing standards and is characterized by residual after-effect.
- Oxidants mixture solution does not generate chlorination by-products, such as trihalomethanes, with the latter fact proved by scientific researches results.
- Oxidants mixture solution destroys phenols – the source of objectionable taste and odour.
- Oxidants mixture solution facilitates iron and magnesium removal from water by means of their rapid oxidation and oxides precipitation.
- Oxidants mixture solution does not generate bromates and bromine-organic by-products in the bromides presence.
- Oxidants mixture solution facilitates turbidity elimination from water.
- Oxidants mixture solution facilitates extraneous after-tastes and odours elimination from water being processed.
- Oxidants mixture solution application ensures absolute harmlessness for human beings’, animals’ and other creatures’ organisms.
- Oxidants mixture solution is not accumulated in surrounding environment.
- Maximal level of salt conversion from the parent solution makes 98 to 99,5 %%.
- Oxidants mixture solution efficiently removes biofilms from the water ducts surface, with the latter effect excluding the necessity of ammonation.
- Oxidants mixture solution application reduces the water ducts corrosion rate.
- Oxidants mixture solution cost, being relatively low in comparison with other disinfecting agents cost, is the indicator of its economy properties and rapid pay-back capability.
