Apparatus and Method for Electrodisinfection

1) An electrolytic apparatus assembly for the electro-disinfection of water, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one vertical electrolytic unit, each unit comprising:
• a vertical tubular reactor having a bottom section and a top section,
• an inlet adjacent to the bottom section of the reactor for injecting water to be treated into the reactor,
• an outlet adjacent to the top section of the reactor for extracting the water from the reactor, and
• at least one anode and at least one cathode located inside the reactor and configured to be operatively connected to an electric power supply providing a continuous current to the anode(s) and cathode(s) to electrolyse the water flowing inside the reactor for at least partially kill bacteria present in the water,
• wherein each anode is a Dimensionnally Stable Anode, also named DSA, or Boron Doped Diamond, also named BDD;
• and
• a pump unit operatively connected to the inlet for injecting the water to be treated into the reactor.
