As part of UET’s ongoing effort to provide natural biocidal treatment for water systems, our electro-clorination process has been included in the European Union’s Article 95 list of approved active substances.

Not exactly, but UET’s system sized for a compact area in a food production plant was designed to contaminate (yes, contaminate) the water system so that the plant could run constant quality assurance tests on their filters for seven different lines. The project was complex due to the weight limitation of the floors, so the water had to be carefully distributed over the surface area.

UET’s founder – David Sherzer – just returned from a visit to our installation at a solar thermal plant in Lebrija, Spain, where UET’s technology has been keeping the water system clean from scale, corrosion and bio-contamination for the past 10 years – with zero chemical additives!

UET AFRICA hosted SASOL during a roadshow in South Africa to visit UET chemical free water treatment installations. These installations are reducing potable water consumption and eliminating the use of chemicals in various cooling system applications. SASOL is an international energy and chemical company working in 32 countries, which builds and operates world class facilities producing various high-value products, including liquid fuels and low-carbon electricity.

UET’s European Account Manager was recently in Italy to review and service an installation serving a titanium manufacturer. The cooling water treatment has been in service for 2 years with good results, so treatment for an additional cooling system is currently being designed.

In each UET system, supply water is passing through a series of reaction chambers which are configured to apply electrolysis to restore the supply water’s mineral balance to an optimum equilibrium. The chemical free water treatment produces biocides through the process of electro-chlorination, which eliminates bacteria and viruses in the water system. The electrolysis process also promotes oxidation and causes electrocoagulation and flocculation, which remove heavy metals from the water. Below is a comparison before (2017) and after (2018) implementing the UET water treatment on a large gland water service system. This supply water source is a combination of six different boreholes.
