Desired outcome

There are water disinfection systems of various types in the world. The most widespread is the chlorine water disinfection system. We are looking for another method of disinfecting water. The method should be cheap and easy to use.

Earth Kidney Sp. z o.o.

Initial Problem Description

In most and the most common use of sodium hypochlorite because it is the most effective. you need to look for a new method of water disinfection. other methods known in the world are not as effective as chlorine. Chemicals are many you need to choose the right one. The problem with chlorine disinfection is that THMs are produced. Swimming pool users report that chlorinated water is not comfortable for them. Unpleasant odours and disinfection by-products require a change in disinfection method.

Context

There are many methods of water disinfection. from physical methods such as filtracaj on various filter beds and membrane filtration to chemical methods such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, active telenium and other methods such as silver or copper ions. Looking for another simple chemical disinfection method that can be easily recorded. By chlorine-free methods I mean the development and testing of disinfection of water by other substances or mechanically

Connection to cross-cutting areas

The developed technology fits perfectly into the closed loop. Water efficiency and proper disinfection is a must in this day and age. Poland is on the red list when it comes to water resources. it is advisable to look for closed-circuit and zero-waste technologies - this is the technology I am referring to.

Input

There are many methods of water disinfection. from physical methods such as filtration on various filter beds and membrane filtration to chemical methods such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, active oxygen and other methods such as silver or copper ions. Looking for another simple chemical disinfection method that can be easily recorded.

Expectations

We expect the industry and the field of disinfection other than chlorine to develop. I think it will be a gigantic revolution and something completely new. It will not be an easy way while it is necessary to act from such a point and aim to encircle innovative solutions. I would like to keep this method simple and cheap. I want it to be accessible to all users.

Desired Team Profile

I would like it to be a multidisciplinary team. It would be worthwhile for it to include chemists, microbiologists, technologists and specialists in zero waste technology. It would also be worthwhile for there to be people from a completely different industry to look at the topic from a completely different angle - perhaps IT or art

Additional Information

There are many methods of water disinfection. from physical methods such as on various filter beds and membrane filtration to chemical methods such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, active oxygen and other methods such as silver or copper ions. Looking for another simple chemical disinfection method that can be easily recorded. The state of the art for these solutions was not made.
