Abstract: Under electronic monitoring and control, fluids flow into a fluid diffusion device to form a fluid combination. The fluid combination has corrosive properties as it flows into an antimicrobial canister housing an insert with antimicrobial metallic coated media and associated support. The fluid combination corrodes the antimicrobial metallic coated media located inside the antimicrobial canister. Upon exiting the antimicrobial canister, the fluid combination contains dissolved metal ions and is a liquid antimicrobial agent. Monitors throughout the system ensure the antimicrobial agent is being produced at the desired level and rate as it exits into its application.

Abstract: Under electronic monitoring and control, fluids flow into a fluid diffusion device 9 to form a fluid combination. The fluid combination has corrosive properties as it flows into an anti-microbial canister 8 housing a roll 4 of anti-microbial metallic coated substrate 1, support frame 2, and porous body 3. The fluid combination corrodes the anti-microbial metallic coated substrate 1 located inside the anti-microbial canister 8. Upon exiting the anti-microbial canister 8, the fluid combination contains dissolved metal and is a liquid anti-microbial agent. Monitors throughout the system ensure the anti-microbial agent is being produced at the desired level and rate as it exits into its application.
