Hydro-dis® System
A unique water disinfection technique
A Unique ProvenTechnology
This refined and improved technology has applicability in a wide variety of water use applications ranging from Potable (drinking water) to recreational use (swimming pools, spas, ponds etc.), evaporative systems (cooling towers, evaporative air conditioners etc.) and wastewater applications and any application in-between.
Dual Disinfection
During the Hydro-dis® process, Hydroxyl Radicals (a short life powerful oxidising agent) are generated from the breakdown of water. These destroy microorganisms and instantly providing a primary disinfection. Produced simultaneously with the Hydroxyl Radicals is a measured concentration of chlorine present as hypochlorite, also a powerful sanitiser, to produce a residual disinfection in the water. This residual disinfection protects water circuits by destroying bacteria, algae, viruses and fungi therefore protecting the water circuit from the formation of biofilms and algal deposits commonly present inwater.
The Hydro-dis® technology is an approved dual disinfection system under AS/NZ Standard 3666 and the Public and Environmental Health (Legionella) Regulations. In February 2017 the Hydro-dis® technology achieved the Australian Standard 4020:2005 Testing of Products for Use In Contact With Drinking Water.
The attainment of AS4020 means that the Hydro-dis® technology meets one of the most rigorous testing standards in the world for equipment used in potable water applications.
Self-Cleaning Technology
Our History
How we do it
Due to the manner in which the Hydro-dis® system is able to be controlled the disinfection of reclaimed water occurs without the production of dangerous chlorinated by-products normally associated with chemical dosing systems.
Scalability
The Hydro-dis® system has been designed to be modular allowing an increase in treatment capacity by adding additional treatment cells. Whilst R&D is continuing to develop smaller and larger capacity units we have cells available to treat between 1,000 and 10,000 litres per hour (l/h). Dependent upon the application we may use either cells of one size, for example 3 cells each capable of 10,000 l/h to achieve 25,000 l/h requirement as opposed to 2 x 10,000 and 1 x 5,000 cells. These decisions are based on a detailed water demand analysis and customer input.
