    Electro-Chlorination Disinfection System For Point of Use Water Purifier

    Uploaded by

    Amanjit Singh
    An electro-chlorination system is proposed to disinfect the pipes and tank of a point-of-use water purifier. Hypochlorous acid produced electrochemically from chloride ions in water provides an effective disinfectant with residual effects. Two design concepts are proposed - an external system with a brine cell that circulates hypochlorous acid, and an inbuilt system with an internal pump for circulation or dosing. Key challenges include optimizing electrode size, hypochlorous acid concentration and circulation, and maintaining low residual chlorine levels in the tank after disinfection. Further development is needed to implement the system initially as an external attachment and later integrated internally.

    Electro-Chlorination Disinfection System for Point of use Water Purifier

    Background
    Hygiene maintenance is something that is most important in case for water purifier;
    something that is not taken seriously in most of situation. In the recent study conducted by
    R&D reported the presence of Pathogen and coliform bacteria. In addition to these Cyst and
    Mould were also reported. The present of these kind of bacteria shows the infected of water
    after purification. The majority of these kind of bacteria occur in biofilms rather than in water
    phase. Microorganisms can enter the purifier through two main categories firstly surviving
    the treatment process of water purifier as most microorganisms found in the purifier are also
    found in the water source. Secondly the recontamination; the purifier pipes and tank are
    major places after purification and requires most hygienic condition, as water gets hold up or
    stored in these areas make these areas susceptible for getting infringement by pathogen
    microbes. The water is also contaminated from leaking pipes, joints, and valves that allow for
    the entry of microbes.

    Innovation Idea
    Disinfection of product can be done by various ways including the Sodium Hypo Chlorite,
    Ozone, Hydrogen peroxide. Hypo chlorite has been traditional been use as very effective
    disinfectant due to ease of production and residual effect which maintain the disinfection for
    period of time.

    Chlorination can be done by either directly using hypo chloride or making the hypo onsite by
    using the chlorine gas or by electro-chlorinator. The electro chlorinator can be size to suite
    the demand for cleaning of the purifier tank and pipe.

    Customer Benefit / Advantages


     This technology will disinfect the pipe and tank of purifier from the pathogens
     This will result in no or reduced biofilm formation in pipes and tanks
     Customer do not need worry about tank disinfection

    pg. 1
    How it works?
    Disinfectant hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite is produced at the anode. The following simplified
    reaction mechanism First, chlorine is produced electrochemically from chloride ions dissolved in the
    water Chlorine hydrolyses in water and hypochlorous acid (HClO) is formed.

     2Cl– → Cl2 + 2e–

     Cl2 + H2O → HClO + HCl

    System Design
    Concept 1 (External System)

     External Cell which contain brine solution gets electrolysed to Hypo.


     Hypo is circulated through Pipe and tank

    pg. 2
    Concept 2 (Inbuilt System)

     In built system uses internal Pump for circulation or Dosing

    Challenges?
     Down Sizing the electrode size
     Concentration of Hypo ( Circulation / Dosing )
     Maintain the residual chlorine level less than 0.2 ppm in the tank after disinfection

    Way Forward
     Development of System as outside system for beginning and later as inbuilt system
