Rostec has developed a new biotechnology for safe water purification. The method will allow abandoning traditional methods of disinfection by chlorination at water treatment plants. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.
The main advantage of this technology is a radical reduction in the content of harmful organochlorine compounds, minimizing corrosion and deposits in pipes. It has already been implemented in 40 cities at 49 facilities, including in the Moscow, Sverdlovsk, Rostov regions, as well as in Kazakhstan.
For water purification, specialists used chlorine dioxide and chlorine to oxidize impurities and destroy microorganisms.
It is worth noting that chlorinated drinking water is increasingly becoming one of the causes of cancer. According to the World Health Organization, 80% of all infectious diseases are the result of consuming poor-quality water.
