Quantum Disinfection
No power. No pathogens
Quantum Disinfection™
Is a revolutionary technology that uses quantum mechanics principles of electron movement to create catalytic active surfaces. This is the first time such a technology has been used to disinfect water.
Quantum Disinfection™ (QD) is a new generation of nano-composite materials with activated surfaces that kills pathogens like bacteria (E. coli, Staphylococcus, Legionella, etc.), viruses (MS2) and protozoa (Cryptosporidium) from water, with no power, no chemicals and no maintenance. Quantum Disinfection™ is a revolutionary technology that uses the quantum mechanics principles of electron movements in micro-crystals creating powerful catalysts applied for drinking water purification.
Quantum Disinfection™ is a catalyst: disinfects the water with its activated surfaces, no power, no chemicals, no maintenance.
Quantum Disinfection™ is a ceramic:
alumina based, environmentally friendly, odorless and insoluble.
Quantum Disinfection™ is a new phenomenon:
attracts electrons from microorganisms causing their entire structure to collapse.
Quantum Disinfection™ is a solid media:
easy to apply, easy to handle, always placed in packed beds.
Quantum Disinfection™ kills the microorganisms instantly:
there is no contact time required, there are no traces of microorganisms.
Water simply has to pass over the Quantum Disinfection™ media and the
microorganisms are instantly destroyed through the catalytic electron exchange.
Give Any Device Disinfection Capability.
Point-of-Entry
QD is used in systems for well water and city high
water sources for homes, offices, and process pitcher
applications: up to 12 GPM.
Point-of-Use
A small quantity of QD can disinfect all POU
systems such as faucets, under the sink units,
ice and beverage machines, coolers, misters,
showers, dental chairs, etc.
Gravity-Based
With no power requirements and allowing
gravitational flows, QD can disinfect all
evices, bracket units, suspended tanks, etc.
Quantum Disinfection™ Frequently Asked Questions
How does Quantum Disinfection™ work?
QD is a catalyst with activated surfaces. The microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, micro-algae, yeast, etc.) that get into a direct contact with these surfaces, instantly lose their electrons to the positive active sites causing their entire structure to collapse.
Is QD a filter?
No. It is a disinfection media. Besides, just like UV, QD needs primary filtration (at least 5 micron) to work properly, otherwise the activated sites can be clogged.
Does QD media leaches?
No. Quantum Disinfection™ does not leach anything in the water, no ions, no chemicals. All of the bactericidal action happens because of a catalytic surface action.
Is QD certified?
Yes. QD media is:
- A NSF Certified Component to NSF/ANSI 42 for material requirements only (Certificate #: C0292640-01);
- Tested by IAPMO to NSF/ANSI 61 (Certificate #: 23033);
- Certified MOH – (Certificate #: 2015KF2513).
How QD is applied?
QD can only be applied in packed bed in devices, systems or units with a inlet and an outlet that can ensure the contact of the microorganisms with the activated ceramics. No by-pass is allowed.
Has QD been tested by 3rd party labs?
Yes. Quantum Disinfection™ technology has been rigorously tested and posted excellent results by:
- Environmental Protection Agency, US EPA
- Eurofins US; Eurofins France
- NC State University
- Proteus, France
- Avazyme, US
- Ackuritlabs, US
- Microbac, US
All of these reports are available upon request.
Is Quantum Disinfection™ a purifier like Reverse Osmosis?
No. Quantum Disinfection™ is more like UV. It is not a filter and its purpose is not to filter the water, but rather to disinfect the water.
How long does QD media last?
Claire works closely with our OEM partners to design cartridges and devices that meet end-of-life criteria. For Claire’s own prototypes, such as the CLAIRIFY 12 unit, the warrantied life is 200,000 gallons, or just over 1 year of normal household use.
Far from the classical disinfection methods (chlorine, alcohol, bromide, ozone or UV), the QD ceramic catalysts have a discharged surface (a positive quantum field) that attracts electrons. Water simply has to pass over this media and the microorganisms (negatively charged) are instantly killed
