Every year people are injured and some even killed with accidents involving Chlorine gas. Some of these are caused by accidents involving delivery systems and some by incorrect mixing of cleaning and disinfecting chemicals.
Chlorine and its chemical compounds are extremely effective as disinfecting agents and the safety of our modern food and water supply chain depends heavily on them.
The struggle has been to maintain the safety of the food and water supply chain whilst protecting the health and lives of those working in these areas.
Now with the use of a DCW generator it is possible to generate Hypochlorous Acid on site from just salt water and electricity safely.

Hypochlorous Acid is one of the most powerful chlorine based disinfection agents. At a concentration of just 0.1 parts per million with an ORP of +700mv and pH 7 it can achieve a log3 reduction of E.coli within 10 seconds. (Source: Carlson, S.: Fundamentals of water disinfection. J. Water SRT – Aqua 40 (1991) 346-356)
Using state of the art patented Membrane Electrolysis technology DCW generators produce powerful disinfection agents on site without any risks to humans.
The added bonus is that our disinfection liquids are classed as non toxic and biodegradable under EU guidelines thus helping protect both people and the environment.

All these benefits are coupled with the possibility of making substantial cost savings in many circumstances as on site production is often substantially cheaper than using traditional chlorine based chemicals.
The DCW generators can also save energy and water as they allow some processes to be carried out at lower temperatures and water to be recycled.
