Casaprotect - Model AGIL -Drinking Water Disinfection

Fields of application for AGIL

• hospitals
• nursing homes
• hotels
• industry

AGIL effects

• Improvement of drinking water quality
• hence achieving standards of the drinking water   ordinance

AGIL achieves

• reduction of contamination and biofilm
• protection from bacterial regrowth, without formation of resistance
• prevention of health hazard

The display:

• constantly shows the actual operating state  (in plaintext)
• an electrical control unit controls and monitors all procedures and workflow incl. external equipment

Prevention of contamination

CASAPROTECT® AGIL devices, commence operation following the automatic suction intake of a dilute salt solution (< 0.7%) and produce the disinfecting agent.

Characteristics of the disinfecting agent are to destroy fast and sustainable all occuring

• germs
• viruses
• bacteria, especially legionella
• fungi   

Even if it comes to a downtime of the device, the germ killing characteristics remain for a couple of weeks. A further attribute of the disinfectanct agent is the efficiency in the whole drinking water pipeline system - hot and cold water lines are both covered - up to the point of use . Those are reliable protected against new and retrograde infestation of water pipeline systems.

The decay products leave behind no residue; all that is produced is water, hydrogen and oxygen. So wastewater and thus the environment are not polluted. The disinfectant agent is designed to be pH-neutral and does not change the pH-value of the potable water.

Decomposition of the biofilm

AGIL succesfully degrades the biofilm and removes the microbial contamination. The efficacy is given in hot as well as in cold water lines.

The disinfectant agent is suitable for emergency procedure to remove existing germs and biomasses. It is also suitable for prevention and reliable protection against new and retrograde infestation of water pipeline systems.

Only determining factor is the concentration of the disinfection agent.

Measurable reduction of legionella

Unlike convential media on the basis of:

• aldehydes
• halogamines
• hypochlorite
• peracids
• quaternary ammonium-compounds (QAC)
• and other synthetic disinfection agents   

the active components do not belong to the xeno-biotic group of substances. The active components are metastable and do permanently disturb the thermionic transport mechanism of microorganisms.

CASAPROTECT® AGIL effects:

• Improvement of drinking water quality, hence achieving standards of the Drinking Water Ordinance
• Reduction of contamination and biofilm
• Protection from bacterial regrowth
• No formation of resistance
• Prevention of health hazard

CASAPROTECT® AGIL procedure is characterized by:

• interactive membranes and modules of absolute cleanliness
• individually controllable process parameters
• composition of a metastable anodic agent with disinfectant property (Anolyte) at neutral pH-value
• increase of the energy impact in the modules through a physiological sodium chloride solution
• environmental protection as no metered addition of chemicals is required - "green" technique
• low cost of maintenance

The electrolysis consists of two partial reactions, executed at the electrodes in cathodic (-) and anodic (+) region due to co-current flow. Substances of the electrolyte accrue as reaction products at the electrodes.

• positive ions (cation) are reduced at the cathode
• negative ions (anion) are oxidised at the anode

In the electro-chemical activation the anode and cathode, as plane electrodes, are separated by a selective, intermediately installed membrane. Voltage flow is possible and reaction products are not mixed. This interactive membrane (diaphragm) is also used for the production of the anolyte.

The AGIL technology operates with

• interactive membrane and electrodes
• filters
• modules

used as so called reactors. The disinfectant agent produced by this procedure has a strong germ killing effect even in a diluted concentration.

It is likewise effective against

• bacteria, especially legionella
• their spores
• viruses
• fungi
• and amoebic colitis

Your potable water is taken at a tapping point, enriched with salt solution outside the water pipe and recirculate to the compact device.

A highly efficient anolyte is produced without adding any desinfectants from external.

The disinfectant agent is filled into a storing tank and subject to the water consumption it is added into the drinking water system by using a proportioning pump.

Through modern modular technique and state of the art control technology the design of our devices can be customized for a water flow from 5 m³ to 500 m³.
