Home / EMERALD AQUACHLOR

A NEW WORD IN INDUSTRIAL WATER AND WASTEWATER DISINFECTION

EMERALD AQUACHLOR devices synthesize from water and table salt a highly effective and safe mixed oxidant solution for the disinfection of drinking water, seawater, wastewater and swimming pool water in any place and quantity.

The composition of the oxidant solution is represented by chlorine in the most active form of hypochlorous acid (95–96%), chlorine dioxide (3–4%), ozone (0.5–1.0%), and hydroperoxide compounds (hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen) contained in microdroplets of moisture (0.2–0.5%). Each component of the oxidant solution is certified for drinking water disinfection.

EMERALD AQUACHLOR — the world’s best water disinfection technology

EMERALD AQUACHLOR devices synthesize from water and table salt a highly effective and safe mixed oxidant solution for the disinfection of drinking water, seawater, wastewater and swimming pool water in any place and quantity.

Advantages:

  • Water disinfection expense is at least 1.5 times cheaper compared to chlorine (Cl2),
  • 3 times cheaper compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 10 times cheaper compared to ultraviolet (UV).
  • Elimination of procurement, transportation and storage of disinfectants (including chlorine and sodium hypochlorite). Elimination of exclusion zones, reduced safety requirements.
  • No chlorination by-products. No free volume of chlorine; all oxidants are dissolved in water.
  • No corrosion of water pipes and no sludge formation in pipes.
  • Prolonged disinfection effect in branched water distribution networks without the need for water ammonization.
  • Destruction of biofilms on the inner surfaces of pipes, filter elements and storage tanks (the only solution in the world safe for humans and animals, capable of destroying biofilms).
  • The absolute safety of AQUACHLOR devices has been confirmed by the German
    certificate body TÜV RHEINLAND.
  • Possibility of chlorination dose reduction due to the high biocidal activity of the oxidant solution.
  • Oxidant solution due to the synergy of the components has a disinfectant activity several times greater than chlorine and dozens of times greater than sodium hypochlorite.

Within 1 month of water disinfection with oxidant solution (instead of hydrogen peroxide), biofilms were removed from the inner surface of the tube.

Completed project

76 units of AQUACHLOR 500 device have been disinfecting all drinking water in Balakovo City, Russia, since 2006. The devices produce more than 900 kg of oxidants per day in FAC* terms and disinfect 350,000 m3 per day.

5 units of AQUACHLOR 1000 devices in Aktau, Kazakhstan, have improved the quality of municipal wastewater disinfection and purification (16,000  m3 per day), operating on the new EMERALD TURBO technology. The total capacity of the devices is 120 kg per day of oxidant solution in FAC terms.

Water disinfection by an AQUACHLOR 500 device is used in a 2,500 m3 volume Olympic swimming pool in  Minsk, Belarus. Purified water does not dry skin, does not irritate mucous membranes and is well tolerated by  small children. No algae growth on  the pool deck. No chlorine odor. No permanent pH adjustment is required.
