1. Name of the products produced or the services rendered. Electrosorption water purifier "CASCADE".

2. Field of application. Housholding, food industry, transport.

3. Description of the products (services). The new type of water purifier "CASCADE"?, which provides complete purification of water from all kinds of microorganisms, viruses, Protozoa, helminthes ova, as well as particles of humus and minerals, and of water-insoluble products. "CASCADE" allows water to be softened and cleaned from toxic and allergen components, such as heavy metals, iron, manganese, phosphates, nitrites, cyanides, thiocyanates, sulfides, mercaptans, phenols, etc. The purification degree of the water from bacteria, insoluble petroleum products, particles of humus and minerals may be up to 99,95% and more. Purification from toxic components provides for the water purity level of the normal living standards.

4. Competitive advantages.Electrosorption apparatuses (EAs), unlike chemical-sorption plants, excellently retains bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. EAs have practically unlimited service life owing to their ability for a complete regeneration. Unlike filtration systems EAs have higher output which does not decrease in the course of time, as it oeeurs with membrane or fiber filters. Besides EAs are more compact and have higher efficiency of purification from pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins. EAs do not need too in preliminary filtration of mechanical impurities or petroleum products which initial water contains. Filtration and sorption purification plants which are widespread at present, in the course of operation are overgrown with microflora and practically turn into microbiological reactors worsening (poisoning) water more and more, which results in the necessity of its purification. Owing to simple and reliable preventive measures (convenience of washing and "self-disinfection") EAs exclude this phenomenon in full. Unlike filtration and sorption devices for drinking water purification, which are available in the market, EAs do not require periodical replacement of any components in the course of operation. Service life of all components of apparatus EA is rated at long operation. Electrosorption apparatuses purify water from components being undesirable in excess concentration, such as ions of iron, manganese, chlorine, as well as nitrate, nitrite, phosphate ions and a number of other ones, multiple decrease in the indices of oxygen chemical and biological consumption.
