92. (000) (WO 2001/042143) METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ELECTROCHEMICALLY
DISINFECTING FLUIDS 14.06.2001 A61L 2/03 GEMMA INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGY, LTD. A
method for treating fluids operates on a continuously flowing stream of fluid. The stream is acted upon
in a continuous flow process to generate a disinfectant species (e.g., chlorine) in the stream and to
simultaneously lower the pH of the stream below approximately 4.0. The stream is passed through and
electrodialytic cell and an electric potential difference is applied across electrodes of the cell during the
passage of the stream through the cell. Relative to its flow through a channel upstream of the cell, the
stream is accelerated when flowing through the cell. The stream at an outlet of the electrodialytic cell to
raise the pH of the stream to a neutral range, thus producing a disinfected solution. This step may be
implemented by p...
