Electro-Chemical Technologies Ltd will install a prototype portable water disinfection system
Electro-Chemical Technologies Ltd. announced
today that that it will install a prototype Aquachlor-100 potable
water disinfection system in a small North American municipality in
January. The system will be tested for approximately four weeks with
the assistance of a technical expert from ELCH's strategic partner,
the Moscow-based Russian Scientific and Research Institute for
Medical Engineering.
The Russian expert specializes in the design of Aquachlor
devices, the on-site chlorine generators that are the primary
components of the Aquachlor system. This program is intended to test
the effectiveness of the Aquachlor versus competing system's in two
key areas: efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
Aquachlor Technology has been in continuous use in
municipal water systems in the Russian Federation since 1998. ELCH's
Aquachlor -100 is capable of producing 100 grams of free available
chlorine (FAC). It is the smallest of a family of devices belonging
to a new generation of compact, economical and environmentally
friendly electro-chemical activation (ECA) systems for the on-site
generation of gaseous chlorine that are capable of serving small and
medium-sized municipalities. Aquachlor systems offer the following
advantages:
On-site generation of chlorine gas using brine and electricity
only and direct injection into the water being treated;
Does not require the use, storage or transportation of
hazardous chemicals;
Does not require special training in the use of hazardous
materials due to low FAC content in the generated stream of
oxidants;
Close to highest possible salt conversion rate;
Does not increase TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level of
treated water;
Low power consumption;
Low maintenance;
Easy to operate;
Superior disinfection performance;
Minimal disinfection by-products (DBP) formation at high
biocidal rate - 30% - 50% reduction in trihalomethanes (THM)
formation compared to traditional chlorination methods.
Variable capacity due to modular design.
According to Jack
Brebbia, President of Electro-Chemical Technologies: "The
prototype installation is expected to demonstrate that the Aquachlor
is a far more environmentally friendly and cost effective system
that the competing products that are available in North America
today. We believe that the introduction of the Aquachlor is the
first step in positioning ELCH to become a market leader in the area
of municipal and wastewater systems for small and medium-sized
municipalities."
Electro-Chemical Technologies, Ltd., is a Nevada
corporation dedicated to developing and commercializing its patented
technology in the U.S. market, concentrating in the areas of
municipal; water and wastewater treatment systems; military and civil biological and chemical
