The ideal solution for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. \n<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n

Ecco il terzo capitolo dedicato alla monoclorammina. Grazie agli articoli precedenti<\/strong> abbiamo voluto spiegare perch\u00e9 la monoclorammina penetra meglio il biofilm<\/strong> e perch\u00e9 \u00e8 l\u2019unico disinfettante che non produce sottoprodotti tossici<\/strong>. Ve li siete persi? Cliccate qui: massima penetrazione biofilm<\/a> e no sottoprodotti tossici<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

The third benefit of monochloramine that we want to address in this chapter is corrosion. Corrosion of pipes is one of the highest risks to the health of plumbing systems and the quality of our water.<\/p>\n\n

Corrosion<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n

Water is a precious resource that must be preserved, and corrosion is one of the main causes of perforation and aging of pipes.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Corrosion is the alteration of a metallic material due to physical (abrasion), chemical, or electrochemical reactions with its environment.<\/p>\n\n

Internal corrosion, in addition to causing thinning and perforation of the wall, can alter the composition of the water and its organoleptic properties (e.g., increased saline concentration).<\/p>\n\n

However, the rate of corrosion and its manifestation depend not only on the chemical composition of the water but are often predominantly influenced by other factors: the characteristics of the metallic material, design and construction, management throughout the life of the system, disinfection operations, and general operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n

But what is the ideal disinfectant solution to avoid the problem of corrosion? \n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n

The answer can be found by analysing the characteristics of the most commonly used chlorine-based disinfectants:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Chlorine\/Hypochlorite<\/strong> \nChlorine is one of the most commonly used disinfectants for water disinfection. Chlorine is a strong oxidant and can attack pipe materials (metals and plastic), causing corrosion problems. More recently (Hassienen 2004, Castagnetti 2010), it has been demonstrated that chlorine is very corrosive even for polyethylene and polypropylene materials, which are widely used in Europe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      \n
    • Chlorine Dioxide<\/strong> \nCurrently, it is the most widely used product. It is also corrosive to both metal and plastic pipes, and its high corrosivity has been shown to be the main factor responsible for chlorine dioxide consumption in building water systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Monochloramine<\/strong> \nMonochloramine, on the other hand, is less aggressive towards pipes as it is a weaker oxidant compared to other chlorine-based disinfectants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Monochloramine is the best solution <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n
      \"Image:<\/figure>\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n

      Monochloramine is a well-known and widely used disinfectant for drinking water in the United States and Europe. Being a mild oxidant, its action is less aggressive than that of hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide, and due to its slower action, it is able to penetrate bacterial biofilm more effectively.<\/p>\n\n

      This characteristic allows monochloramine to act for long periods without causing any damage to plumbing systems, regardless of the material they are made from, because monochloramine is compatible with both metals and plastics.<\/p>\n\n

      The SANIKILL Effect \n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n

      SANIKILL, the system patented by Sanipur for the production and dosing of monochloramine, is the first and only technology that uses this molecule as a disinfectant for the elimination of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens.<\/p>\n\n

      Numerous studies published in prestigious international scientific journals have shown that after just one week of dosing in the water distribution system, the presence of Legionella is reduced below the limits imposed by regulations.<\/p>\n\n

      The SANIKILL technology allows for the controlled and safe in situ production of monochloramine from precursors specifically formulated and optimised in our laboratories, diluted, and thus absolutely safe at all stages, from handling to storage. On-demand production ensures that the product is always fresh: the absence of storage systems minimises the presence of disinfection by-products. This ensures the maintenance of perfect hygienic conditions of the water, the absence of unpleasant odours or tastes, and reduced reagent consumption, making SANIKILL an environmentally friendly technology.<\/p>\n\n

      Confirming what has been observed in field applications in hundreds of Italian and American hospitals, recent studies conducted by independent entities have demonstrated the ability of monochloramine to minimise corrosion problems. In contrast, chlorine and chlorine dioxide, due to their oxidising power, cause damage to pipes.<\/p>\n\n

      Maximum biocidal efficacy, biofilm penetration, high stability, absence of disinfection by-products, and environmental friendliness are just some of the advantages offered by our technology. We call it: \u201cTHE SANIKILL EFFECT.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
