It can deactivate most microorganisms and is relatively inexpensive. The main disadvantages of using chlorine as a disinfectant are the possible formation of THMs and its pungent odour and unpleasant taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chlorine Dioxide<\/strong>&#13;\nCurrently, it is the most widely used product. Introduced and popularised by Sanipur in the Italian healthcare sector for over twenty years (<span class=\"sanisweep\"><span class=\"sanisweep\">SaniSweep<\/span><\/span>\u00a0technology), it shows high efficacy when correctly dosed. Chlorine dioxide creates by-products, including chlorites and chlorates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monochloramine<\/strong>&#13;\nThe chemical reaction to produce monochloramine theoretically shows that monochloramine has only water as a by-product: NH3(aq) + HOCl \u2192 NH2Cl + H2O The total elimination of by-products ensures perfect hygienic conditions of the water, the absence of unpleasant odours or tastes, and reduced reagent consumption, making SANIKILL an environmentally friendly technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #99ccff;\"><strong><em>Monochloramine is the best solution&#13;\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Monochloramine is a suitable disinfectant for both hot and cold water and is permitted in drinking water<\/strong>\u00a0up to a concentration of 3 mg\/l according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and 4 mg\/l for the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).\u00a0<strong>The first application of monochloramine in European water dates back to 1943.<\/strong> Sanipur has created a technology that doses monochloramine in water and ensures the elimination of by-products.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #99ccff;\"><strong><em>The SANIKILL Effect&#13;\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanipur.it\/monoclorammina-per-piccole-applicazioni\/\">SANIKILL<\/a>, il sistema brevettato da Sanipur per la <strong>produzione ed il dosaggio di monoclorammina<\/strong>, \u00e8 la <strong>prima e unica tecnologia che utilizza questa molecola<\/strong> come disinfettante per l\u2019eliminazione della Legionella e di altri patogeni acquicoli.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"243\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanipur.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/09\/sanilite-web.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1861\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sanipur.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sanilite-web.png 243w, https:\/\/www.sanipur.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sanilite-web-24x19.png 24w, https:\/\/www.sanipur.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sanilite-web-36x29.png 36w, https:\/\/www.sanipur.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sanilite-web-48x38.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous studies published in prestigious international scientific journals have shown that after<strong>\u00a0just one week of dosing in the water distribution system, the presence of Legionella is reduced below the limits imposed by regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SANIKILL technology allows for the controlled and safe in situ\u00a0<strong>production of\u00a0monochloramine<\/strong>\u00a0from 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:<strong>\u00a0the absence of storage systems minimises the presence of disinfection by-products.<\/strong>\u00a0This ensures the maintenance of perfect hygienic conditions of the water, the absence of unpleasant odours or tastes, and reduced reagent consumption, making\u00a0<strong>SANIKILL an environmentally friendly technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 avoid generating by-products.
