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.

Lynntech，Inc.，为个人使用设备提供创新的臭氧解决方案，用于少量水的消毒。这种水可以用于饮用，或者甚至可以用作消毒剂本身，因为溶解在水中的臭氧水平提供了消毒质量。对这种仅用于饮用水的设备的需求是巨大的。全世界有10亿人无法获得清洁饮用水，10 000至20 000名儿童死于与水有关的可预防疾病。(UN关于获得水的报告，2000年11月）。Lynntech公司已经制造出了微型电化学电池，可以产生臭氧。然而，为了产生个人使用的臭氧，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，以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联合收割机结合，开发一种笔式水消毒装置。该系统将不需要维护，将是环境友好的，没有移动部件，并为大规模生产而设计。与一家主要的家用产品制造商Lynntech合作，Lynntech拥有一条现有的商业化途径，可以将这种新型设备投入生产并在全球范围内分销。拟议的商业应用：最终的结果将是一个廉价的商业个人消毒设备。该设备可用于消毒少量饮用水，消毒伤口，注射前消毒皮肤，消毒柜台等，它也可以在提供清洁饮用水是一个重要问题的救灾期间使用。
