Electrochemistry and Electrolyzed Water
|
A unique system |
The
Envirolyte Industries International Ltd. has converted achievements and
inventions in Electrolyzed Water into a range of exclusive products:
diaphragmatic cells, Envirolyte and ECO units to suit numerous
applications under the trade marks of EnvirolyteŽ & ECOŽ
|
Made to last |
Envirolyte
& ECO unitshave been designed for continual use. The use of
high-grade materials without any fragile or moving components make
reliable Units.
|
Unique solutions |
Two Solutions generated by Envirolyte units are unique in their own way. Anolyte with
pH controlled in the range 2.0-8.5 and ORP +700mV - +1200mV has a great
biocide potential. Catholyte is a perfect washing liquid and an
important means to increase pH.
|
No more chemicals |
There
is a wide range of potential disinfection applications of Envirolyte
units. The problems associated with handling and storage of chemical
based systems provide a number of opportunities. The Envirolyte units
can largely overcome Health and Safety measures as well as Environmental
pollution problems associated with traditional chemical systems.

Electrochemistry
is the part of science which deals with the interrelationship of
electrical currents, or voltages, and chemical reactions, and with the
mutual conversion of chemical and electrical energy.

Electrolyzed
Water (EW) Technology is based on a new, previously unknown law of
anomalous changes of reaction and catalytic abilities of aqueous
solutions subjected to electrochemical unipolar (either anodic or
cathode) treatment. EW is necessarily associated with alteration of its
chemical composition, acidity and (or) alkalinity within a wide range.
That is why EW application makes it possible:
- to exclude from routine technological processes the regulation of solution properties with costly reagents;
- to improve quality of the treated substances;
- to reduce the number and duration of technological operations;
- to decrease their labour-consuming nature;
- to facilitate and simplify processes of water and sewage purification.
Unlike well-known electrochemical reactions, in the processes of
electrochemical activation initial substances are diluted aqua-saline
(brine) solution and mains water. The eventual EW products are not
concentrated chemical substances, but activated (Anolyte and Catholyte)
solutions: low mineralised liquids in a metastable state, manifesting
increased chemical activity. Synthesis of electrochemically activated
solutions is only possible when unipolar electrochemical exposure is
combined with treatment of as many as possible micro volumes of liquid
in high voltage electric field of a double electric layer near the
electrode's surface.
The above stated conditions of producing activated solutions can be realised only in special diaphragmic cells (round or square) which are the key elements of every Envirolyte or ECO unit.

Why Envirolyte? |
Reliable
units to produce powerful, non-toxic, non-hazardous cold disinfection
and sterilization agents with stable parameters, on site and on demand
plus incorporated self-cleaning process give the Envirolyte Industries
International Ltd. a strong technical and commercial edge over
competition. |

The
life-time problem of degradation of electrodes has been overcome by
means of a unique process and the strength of the current they can
withstand has also been increased considerably. A patented self cleani,g process has been designed to minimize the use of acids in the cleaning of electrodes.
