Role of titanium in ensuring bacterial purity of drinking water on ships

Abstract

The study explores the possibility of using titanium as a material for marine drinking water systems. Tests have been conducted to assess the sanitary and hygienic properties of the VT1-0 titanium alloy and the quality of the drinking water in contact with it has been investigated. It has been found that the titanium alloy does not affect the quality of water, which is confirmed by both laboratory and field tests. Based on the test results, a Sanitary and Epidemiological Conclusion has been received from the Department of State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance on Transport of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. CDB "Baltsudoproekt" has carried out pilot study of the ship's drinking water supply system using titanium alloys.
