Hypochlorous Acid Disinfectant (SOLAR WIND TECHNOLOGY INC.)

Background
In addition to its rapid increase in novel coronavirus cases, Indonesia is home to various infectious diseases such as diarrhea, typhoid fever, cholera, and hepatitis. This is due to the contamination of tap water with pathogenic bacteria and to insufficient sewage coverage, especially in rural areas. Disinfectants are practical and versatile when used in prevention, but an ethanol-infused alcohol sanitizer is not a viable option, due to the country’s religious nature. Hence, non-alcohol disinfectants are in high demand in Indonesia.

Overview of the Project
UNIDO implemented a project to set up the local production of aqueous hypochlorous acid for use at hospitals and public facilities. The project took into consideration the local culture of avoiding alcohol products and introduced a non-alcohol disinfectant with hypochlorous acid called “JIAT-X,” which is not yet commonly used in the country. In addition to establishing a factory for diluting the concentrated hypochlorous acid solution, the project covered technical training for quality control, shipment, and antibacterial effect evaluation.
