Industrial Applications of Germ-Free Water

In addition to disinfecting drinking water for sanitary purposes in industrial companies, there are several other applications where germ-free water is essential:

​

Applications

• Rinsing water in pipes in the beverage and food sector

• Legionella prevention in cooling water in cooling towers

• Rinse water in laundries

• Washing vegetables and fruits

• Washing of rolling stock such as trains, buses, wagons, and trucks

• Cleaning of tanks (tank cleaning)

• Disinfection of reused water

• Disinfection of irrigation water in greenhouse cultivation (ornamental horticulture and vegetables)

​

Glass Cultivation Without Waste Water

In the European Union, a total ban on the discharge of wastewater for greenhouses has been in effect since 2020. Newtec, in collaboration with the Humboldt University of Berlin, has developed an efficient disinfection solution using electrolysis for the reuse of drain water and nutrient recovery.

Key Benefits

• Effectiveness: Efficient against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

• By-Products: Formation of unwanted by-products, such as chlorate, is negligible and well below EU limits.

• Nutrient Savings: Up to 30% savings on nutrients.

• Yield Improvement: Significant additional yield per m².

• Cost Efficiency: The disinfection system pays for itself after a short time and complies with new EU guidelines.
