Aquadron® Technology
• Kills 99.999% of legionella within 5 minutes
• Allows hot water temperature reduction
• Replaces current treatment• Reduces TMV maintenance• Widely used in Europe• pH neutral• Non-toxic
…simplicity is key
Aquadron® – treating pathogens and reducing operating costs• Aquadron systems are fully automated for the production of disinfectant
called Anolyte.• The technical principles comply with BS EN 901 – Chemicals used for the
treatment of water.• The system manufactures a pure sodium hypochlorite / hypochlorous
solution that is pH neutral.• The system achieves compliance with the guidelines in ACOP L8.• The disinfectant solution kills pathogens very quickly, so only a low dose
is required, the Anolyte will also remove the biofilm that harbours pathogens.
• The system replaces the need for thermal barriers (60+°C water) or chemical treatments – saving energy and money.
• The system is in use in hospitals, schools, swimming pools, hotels and care homes in Germany.
• The only raw material needed is common salt.

How it works
• The Aquadron® machine is connected to the water system and works 24/7.
• The system manufactures Anolyte from a brine solution.
• It measures water flow and doses the system to achieve stable conditions.
• The system is self-cleaning meaning little maintenance is required.
• Machines can be monitored via the internet.

What IMECA Delivers
• Only water treatment on the market to effectively manage Legionella risk: – Can treat all water.– Delivers stable conditions.– No emergency treatment or chemical dosing is
needed.• Immediate savings on maintenance and
consumables costs.• Lower heat requirements.

Independent Testing
Birmingham Universities Antimicrobials Research Group – Exposure of all species tested to ‘New Energy Management Ltd Anolyte’ at recommended working concentrations for water disinfection resulted in a complete kill of all four species when tested in water within a five minute period. This represented a greater than 8 log reduction in viable numbers.
This study investigated the comparative activity of Anolyte in killing a panel of representative hospital pathogens and water plant contaminants;
Escherichia coli, methicillin resistant S.aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella pneumophilia.
