Low Cost Disinfection Device for Personal Use

Lynntech, Inc.为个人使用设备提供创新的基于臭氧的解决方案，用于少量水的消毒。这种水可以用来饮用，甚至可以作为消毒剂，因为溶解在水中的臭氧含量提供了消毒的质量。对这种仅用于饮用水的设备的需求是巨大的。10亿人无法获得清洁饮用水，全世界有1万至2万名儿童死于可预防的与水有关的疾病。（联合国水资源报告，2000年11月）。Lynntech公司已经制造出可以产生臭氧的微型电化学电池。然而，为了产生供个人使用的臭氧，需要少量的去离子水。我们将开发一种微型电化学去离子器来提供电化学臭氧发生器所需的水，并将这种去离子装置与现有的电化学臭氧发生器技术相结合，开发一种笔大小的水消毒装置。该系统将不需要维护，将是环保的，没有活动部件，并为大规模生产而设计。与一家主要的家用产品制造商合作，Lynntech有一个现有的商业化途径，将这种新型设备投入生产和全球分销。建议的商业应用：最终结果将是一种廉价的商业个人消毒设备。适用于少量饮用水消毒、伤口消毒、注射前皮肤消毒、柜台消毒等。它也可以用于救灾，在那里提供清洁饮用水是一个重要问题。

Lynntech, Inc., has innovative ozone based solution for a personal use device, to be used for the disinfection of small quantities of water. This water can be used for drinking, or may even be used as a disinfectant itself since the levels of ozone dissolved in the water provides disinfection qualities. The need for such a device just for drinking water alone is enormous. One billion people lack access to clean drinking water and 10,000 to 20,000 children succumb to preventable water related diseases worldwide. (UN Report on access to water, November 2000). Lynntech, Inc has already built miniature electrochemical cells, which produce ozone. However, in order to generate ozone for personal use a small quantity of deionized water is required. We will develop a miniature electrochemical deionizer to provide the water required by the electrochemical ozone generator and combine this deionization unit with existing electrochemical ozone generator technology to develop a pen sized water disinfection device. The system will require no maintenance, will be environmentally friendly, have no moving parts, and is designed for mass production. Working with a major home product manufacturer Lynntech has an existing commercialization pathway to take this novel device to production and worldwide distribution. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The final outcome will be an inexpensive commercial personal disinfection device. The device has application in disinfecting small quantities of drinking water, disinfecting wounds, disinfecting skin before injections, disinfecting counters etc. It can also be used during disaster relief where providing clean drinking water is an important issue.
