Abstract
The DiaCell® technology has been successfully tested against Legionella infection in several water types and under various working conditions. Depending on the water composition, Legionella can be completely inactivated with current densities as small as 50 mA/cm 2 with low contact times (<5 min). The higher the oxidant concentration in the electrolyzed water, the more rapid is the Legionella inactivation after injection. Bicarbonates in contaminated water were identified as very good supports for electrochemical disinfectants production for Legionella inactivation without high chlorine concentration. At the same time, sulfates in water do not provide any disinfection capacity by DiaCell® electrolysis.
