Sustainable water disinfection for maritime operations

Maintaining bacteria-free water systems onboard passenger ships and cargo vessels is essential for crew safety, passenger health, and operational efficiency. Traditional disinfection methods often struggle to meet the unique challenges of maritime environments, such as fluctuating water conditions and persistent biofilm buildup in complex piping systems.

Anolytech’s sustainable solution, AnoDes, provides continuous and effective disinfection, eliminating harmful microorganisms and biofilm throughout your water systems. Produced directly on-site, AnoDes minimises reliance on harsh chemicals and reduces downtime. Whether preventing Legionella outbreaks or addressing existing issues, Anolytech safeguards your vessel, crew, and operations.

Anolytech ensures bacteria-free water and safe operations—without harmful chemicals.

Areas of application

Safe water is essential for passenger comfort, crew safety, and product quality. Anolytech’s solution ensures effective water disinfection across diverse maritime applications.

Commercial vessels

On commercial vessels such as cargo ships and tankers, water stagnation and favorable temperatures create ideal conditions for Legionella in onboard water systems. Contaminated water used in showers or drinking systems can impact crew health and lead to operational downtime. Anolytech’s AnoDes solution ensures 24/7 protection against bacterial growth, providing a safe and reliable water supply while minimising the risk of Legionella outbreaks.

Passenger ships

Ensuring water safety on passenger ships, including ferries and cruise liners, is critical to maintaining passenger health and comfort. Legionella and other harmful bacteria thrive in water systems with stagnant water or favorable temperatures, such as those found in showers, spas, and drinking water systems. Anolytech’s solution provides continuous disinfection, effectively preventing bacterial growth and ensuring safe water throughout the ship.

Our Disinfection System Advantages

Comprehensive Legionella and bacterial control

Maritime water systems are prone to bacterial growth due to stagnant water and fluctuating temperatures. AnoDes ensures 24/7 disinfection, proactively preventing Legionella and other harmful microorganisms while eliminating existing bacteria and biofilm.

Superior bactericidal power

AnoDes has a bactericidal effect that is 200 times more effective than chlorine, providing unparalleled disinfection power—without the disadvantages associated with chlorine, such as harmful chemical residues or environmental risks.

Continuous protection without disruptions

Traditional disinfection methods often require downtime and manual intervention. Anolytech’s system operates continuously, ensuring water systems remain safe and operational even during voyages.

Safe for humans and the environment

Produced from only water, salt, and electricity, AnoDes breaks down into 99.5% water and 0.5% biodegradable substances. This makes it completely safe for passengers, crew, and the surrounding maritime environment, with no need for protective gear during handling.

Cost-efficient and sustainable solution

AnoDes reduces the need for frequent chemical treatments and high-temperature water maintenance, cutting operational costs significantly. Its on-site production ensures constant availability of the disinfectant, supporting uninterrupted operations while saving water, energy, and resources.

How AnoDes works

AnoDes, a hypochlorous acid produced from water, salt, and electricity, effectively attacks proteins in the cell membranes of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms, causing the cells to rupture and die.

The problems Anolytech solves

Bacterial contamination in water systems

Water stagnation and fluctuating temperatures in maritime environments create ideal conditions for harmful bacteria like Legionella to thrive. Contaminated water systems onboard ships, from showers and drinking water to cooling systems, can lead to health risks and operational disruptions. Continuous disinfection with AnoDes eliminates bacteria and biofilm, ensuring safe water for passengers, crew, and operational systems.

Biofilm formation increases costs

Biofilm acts as a breeding ground for bacteria and compromises the efficiency of water systems, clogging pipes and increasing maintenance needs. This buildup can spread bacteria throughout the system, posing a persistent risk. AnoDes not only eliminates bacteria but also prevents biofilm formation, keeping water systems clean and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Health risks for passengers and crew

Legionella bacteria, often found in showers, spas, and drinking water systems, can cause serious illnesses such as Legionnaires’ disease. These outbreaks can damage reputation and result in costly emergency measures. AnoDes provides 24/7 disinfection, ensuring bacteria-free water throughout the vessel, protecting the health and safety of everyone onboard.

Environmental impact of harmful chemicals

The use of strong chemicals in traditional disinfection methods poses risks to marine life and the environment. Discharge of treated water containing residual chemicals is increasingly regulated, creating compliance challenges. AnoDes is produced from only water, salt, and electricity, breaking down into biodegradable substances. This ensures an environmentally friendly and compliant approach to water disinfection.
