Effects of biocidal action of water treated with a liquid activation multicomponent module

Abstract

As a result of the significant increase in the mass of technologically polluted water in the environment, one of the urgent problems in the world is the supply of clean water to the population. The problem is exacerbated by the failure of existing water supply systems, which leads to secondary contamination of purified water.

We have created and tested a laboratory model of liquid activation multicomponent module (LAMM), the operation of which, unlike other analogs, is based on such physical methods as treatment with a magnetic field, ultrasound, ultraviolet radiation, and silver ions.

 According to the studies conducted at the Institute of Morphology of TSU Alexander Natishvili and Medical Biotechnology named after Vl. Bakhutashvili of TSU, it was established that drinking water treated with LAMM from the city network shows a stable antibacterial effect - that is, the water is sterilized, and at the same time, staphylococcal bacterial cultures do not grow on the soil created on the basis of such water. Water treated with SDM retains its antibacterial properties for a certain period of time, the duration of which depends on the exposure time in the module and the degree of contamination of the water with microbes. Subsequently, these data were confirmed by L. Sakvarelidze's  National Center for Disease Control and Public Health, Lugar Public Health Research Center S.aureus -25923, E.coli -25922, Ps. aeruginiosa #-7853, E.hirae #10541 and B.cereus-4342 in an experiment conducted on ATCC strains. In the same laboratory, we separately studied the effect of the biocidal action of the fluids treated with LAMM against the B. anthracis STI vaccine strain using the same method. After 24 hours of incubation, the typical growth characteristic of B. anthracis was observed in the control sums, while no growth was observed in the test culture.
