electrodesan
Electrodesan is a term used to describe electrochemical disinfection systems that generate sanitizing oxidants at electrodes to inactivate microorganisms in liquids or on surfaces.
The technology operates by electrolyzing an electrolyte; at the anode, oxidants such as hypochlorous acid (via
Typical designs include two-electrode flow-through cells, electrochemical baths for surfaces, and coated-electrode configurations. Materials commonly used
Applications span drinking water and process water disinfection, food and beverage sanitation, horticultural irrigation systems, and
Advantages include on-site generation, reduced handling of chemical sanitizers, rapid activity, and broad-spectrum effectiveness. The technology
Limitations and safety considerations involve disinfection-byproduct formation (especially if chloride is present), electrode degradation, energy requirements,
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. In water applications, devices may require certification or compliance marks; in
History and development in electrochemical disinfection date to the early 20th century with advances in electrode
