Disinfection of the water for human consumption is indispensable, be it treated (filtered or ion exchanges), or untreated water. The extracted water intended for consumption may contain microorganisms in almost all cases; surface waters are a priori contaminated be these, and in case of aquiferic waters – even is the source layer is sterile – the stored water may be exposed to airborne microorganisms or those entering via contact with groundwater due to improperly sealed piping joints or due to contamination of the pipeline itself. These living organisms propagate very fast and create their protection belts (this being the biofilm), whose removal is a very difficult and time consuming task.

Several options are available for the disinfection of drinking water, of which our company prefers chemical processes. These methods ensure a long term disinfecting effect along the entire length of the pipeline, all the way to its end point.

It is however important to adjust the appropriate dosing quantity: the quantity of disinfectant must be determined in many cases for it to be measurable at the end point as well, but in only so low remaining concentrations that will not expose the consumers to harmful effects, and the water will be of neutral flavour and odour, complying with quality requirements.

From the perspective of adjusting the dosage correctly, it is very important to apply measuring instruments allowing back measurement.
The following agents are recommended for utility water plants, public and industrial facilities for degerminating water and if necessary, to disinfect the water network. Our company provides both chlorinated and chlorine-free solutions for these purposes.
