Disinfection through Electrochemical Ion-Oriented Neutralization

Objective

DezION develops an intelligent platform for the local electrochemical synthesis of oxidative disinfectant solutions, designed to replace imported, hazardous and logistically vulnerable chemical reagents widely used in the food industry, greenhouse sector, agriculture and water treatment. The technology integrates quantitative physico-chemical modelling, a multisensor measurement architecture (pH, ORP, EC, temperature, anode potential), and adaptive closed-loop control that continuously adjusts current, potential, hydrodynamics and temperature to maintain a stable oxidative profile of the solution.
The core innovation lies in real-time control of the full oxidative composition (HOCl/ClO⁻ ratio, ROS formation, AOX suppression) and in compensating anode degradation — a critical limitation of current ECA systems. This enables reproducible chemical stability, predictable microbiological efficacy, and compliance with emerging EU standards (BPR, REACH, Drinking Water Directive, Zero Pollution).
The project raises the technology from TRL 4 to TRL 6. Phase 1 focuses on building and validating a quantitative model for real-water matrices. Phase 2 implements this model in an upgraded prototype with integrated sensing and closed-loop control. Phase 3 evaluates the system in real operating environments ( livestock facilities units) using EN 14885/EN 17272 microbiological protocols, AOX monitoring and long-duration operation (50–200 hours).
DezION reduces dependence on imported disinfectants, lowers logistical and safety risks, enables on-site generation from low-risk salts and electricity, and supports EU Green Deal and Zero Pollution goals. Alongside technical development, the project builds a scalable business model, IP strategy and regulatory roadmap, laying the foundation for further market deployment in Ukraine and the EU and for future EIC Accelerator investment readiness.
