B- The previous state
Electrochemical water disinfection is a rarely used but convenient and highly efficient way to produce germ-free water. The technique works without the addition of chemical compounds to the water to be treated, but is nevertheless based on the biotical action of various chemical Substances
Electrochemical water disinfection can be defined as the eradication of microorganisms by using an electric current passed through the water under treatment by means of suitable electrodes. At the phase boundary between the electrodes and the water, the electric current leads to the electrochemical production of disinfecting species from the water itself, (For example, ozone), or from species dissolved in the water (for example, chloride is oxidized to free chlorine).
Attempts to clean or disinfect water by direct electrolysis had been reported as early as the nineteenth century the electrochemical preparation of germ-free water. Since the end of the nineteenth century there have been frequent attempts to use electrochemical disinfection. Until recently none have been successful, at least not for long-term practical use. Different terms are or have been in use to describe this type of water treatment process or the water produced by this process, such as 'electrolytic disinfection' 'electrochemical disinfection', 'anodic oxidation', 'functional water' and 'electrochemically activated water' among others.
There are three reasons why electrochemical water disinfection has arrived at technical maturity only recently, rather than earlier in the (possibly) 2000 years since its discovery: (1) Sufficiently stable and efficient electrode materials for electrochemical water disinfection have been developed and optimized only in the last forty years. These are
titanium electrodes with mixed oxide coatings based on iridium and/or ruthenium oxide, and doped diamond electrodes.
(2) The functional interrelationships between chloride concentration in the water, current, current density, electrode material, water quality, electrochemical production of free chlorine and disinfecting action have been investigated in detail only recently.
(3) Development work on electrochemical water disinfection has often been undertaken by amateurs in both electrochemistry and water chemistry, and this remains somewhat true today. Only a few electrochemists have been interested in this topic, mostly only for a short period in their career. This has resulted in mistakes in device dimensioning and in unscientific explanations of the mechanism of the process.
C- Technical description for the invention in detail
The main purpose of the system is to produce fully complex liquid solution content the main effective disinfection item as bellow:
1- Ozone ( 03) in liquid form

Feed pump start working to push the original water with suitable flow and pressure to the system via pre filter (diagram -PI-SY) part-7 then the 3way inlet valve to let the water go into the electrolysis cell from the bottom inlet side (diagram -PI-CELL) part-21 to allow water spread through distributor pipe (diagram -PI-SY) part-20, the water start go out from the output hole (diagram -Pl-cell) part-23, when the outlet water of the electrolysis cell reach to the adjusted set point that can be done by the flow meter (diagram -PI-SY) part-13, whose provide with limit switch sensor to give start signal to the PLC, when this signal reach to the control panel, the PLC give start working signal to dosing pump (diagram -PI-SY) part-11 to dose the salt solution into the system, after 5 second the power supply of the cell start working to provide the electrolysis cell with suitable voltage, the power supply of the cell has soft start function to protect the system from electric shock. At this time the current pass through the electrode will start increasing slowly.
The system is providing with current measurement unit with tow limit set point for low and high, when the passing current through the electrode arrived to the limit set point, the current measurement unit gives signal to the PLC, when the PLC get this signal, the PLC will know the product solution has good quality for disinfect, at this time start signal for the 2 way Electric valve for product (diagram -PI-SY) part-18 to open, and 2 way Electric valve for drain (diagram -PI-SY) part-19 to close.
