Abstract: An electrolytic assembly and a method for the bacterial disinfection of water or wastewater is disclosed. Water circulating in cooling towers such as those that discharge heat from air conditioning; ships' ballast water; or wastewater with a dryness varying from 0.01 to 3%; can be treated. The assembly comprises one or more electrolytic units comprising at least one Dimensionnally Stable Anode commonly known as DSA, or a Boron Doped Diamond anode, also named BDD anode. The electrolytic treatment at least partially kill the bacteria present in the water. It has been shown that the electrolytic treatment breaks the cell membrane of bacteria present in the water. The treatment is particularly adapted for eliminating Legionella and others microorganisms, such as E. coli.

Abstract: An electrolytic reactor for the electrolytic treatment of a fluid is disclosed. The reactor comprises an electrolytic chamber, an electrode cartridge comprising an electrode assembly longitudinally extending from a crown section configured to operatively seal the electrolytic chamber when the electrode assembly is inserted in the electrolytic chamber; an inlet extending perpendicularly to a vertical longitudinal axis defined by the electrolytic chamber; and an outlet extending through the crown section along the vertical longitudinal axis defined by the electrolytic chamber, the outlet being configured to be in fluid communication with the electrolytic chamber when the electrolytic chamber is sealed by the crown section. Advantageously, by having the outlet extending upwardly above the electrodes, any dead zone typically found on electrodes at the level of the outlet are eliminated, increasing as such the useful surface area of the electrodes spanning the entire length of the electrolytic chamber.

Abstract: An electrolytic reactor and process for decontaminating wastewater containing emerging contaminants, such as medicament residues or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are disclosed. The contaminated wastewater is circulated through one or several reactors for electro-oxidizing and degrading the contaminants. Each reactor comprises an enclosure, an electrode assembly comprising first and second current distribution circuits, a first group of N electrodes connected to the first current distribution circuit, and a second group of N electrodes connected to the second current distribution circuit. According to the polarity of the current provided to the electrodes, the electrodes of the first group form anodes whereas the electrodes of the second group forms cathodes, and vice versa. The electrodes are preferably dimensionally stable anodes (DSA). The reactor and process described herein allow removal of multiple emerging contaminants simultaneously, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint through lower power consumption.
