DesinFix™ -chlorine-free disinfection of effluent waste water
Performic acid –fast acting with no residual effects
DEX-135™ contains a highly efficient and reactive compound, known as performic acid. Performic acid decomposes to form hydroxyl radicals that kill the bacteria. After 10 minutes the water is disinfected and within an hour after dosing, the active substance can no longer be detected. DEX-135™ breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. No toxic disinfection by-products can be detected.
High efficiency disinfection at a competitive cost
DesinFix is primarily targeted to municipal waste water treatment plants. However, the method may also be used for treatment of industrial process waters and other applications. Measurements have shown that it is possible to achieve a 6 log (99.9999%) kill ratio using the DesinFix solution. When it comes to costs, Kemira DesinFix has a distinct advantage with low energy consumption, competitive operational costs, minimal maintenance requirements, and much lower investment cost compared to UV-light or ozone disinfection.
