BASIC CONCEPT
The electro activation technology is based on producing in special technical electrochemical systems of metastable (activated) solutions with anomalous physicochemical and catalytic reactivity for their further use in various technological processes in place of traditionally used special chemical agent solutions. Electro activation is effected by simultaneous electrochemical and electro physical action on water in the electric field of the double electric layer of one of the electrochemical system electrodes. Water unipolar electro treatment is accompanied by controlled mass transfer in the inter electrode space with minimal heat generation and with obligatory creation of conditions for the closest contact of each micro volume of liquid under treatment with the dense and/or diffuse part of the double electric layer on the electrode surface where the electric field intensity reaches several million volts/cm.
As a result of electrochemical activation, water transforms into metastable state, which is due to emergence of chemical and physical excitations and is accompanied by directed changes in pH, oxidation-reduction potential and other physical and chemical parameters in a wider range than under chemical regulation.
Chemical excitations in electrochemically activated water and solutions are primarily represented by metastable products of electrochemical decomposition of fresh or low-mineralized water, including free radicals, whose reactivity is based on extremely high electron activity in cathodically treated water (catholyte) or extremely low electron activity in anodically treated water (anolyte). Physical excitations are micro-heterogeneous electrically active structures including gaseous electrochemical reaction products (micro bubbles and clusters), as well as metastable changes in the ion-hydrated sheath structure charged particles.
MODERN DISINFECTANT STUDIES
In the late twentieth century, chemical disinfectants development was aimed at searching ways of activating disinfectants in use rather than creating new agents. For instance, until recently, 6% hydrogen peroxide solution was used for high-level sterilization and disinfection purposes. To decrease its corrosive activity and at the same time maintain or even enhance its biocidal ability, technologies of its application as vapour or gas plasma are presently being developed. Thus, activation of chemical disinfectants is aimed at achieving physical and chemical effect providing high bactericidal efficiency with minimum concentration of active substances, with corrosives or destructiveness against the item’s material as well as toxic effect on human beings being insignificant. In this connection, time of exposure, concentration, temperature and conditions of active substances’ application are principal characteristics of the process of disinfecting a medical item and are the major parameters of any practical method.
Electro activated solutions have been found to contain compounds whose co-presence in a solution is impossible from the standpoint of equilibrial chemical thermodynamics.
In particular, those substances include ozone and active chlorine compounds: Hypochlorous acid, Hypo chlorite-ion, chlorine dioxide and chlorine.
The main factors of EA solutions’ activity are the following:
Electrochemically synthesized alkali in catholyte and acids in anolyte, whose concentration depends on chemical composition and source solution mineralization, and is proportional to specific expenditures of electricity amount in the process of synthesis. The presence of acids in anolyte and alkali in catholyte determines pH values maintained in the solution for a long time, and is a stable factor of EA solution activity. Electrically charged micro-bubbles of electrolysis gases, stabilized by non-compensated electric charges concentrated in gas-liquid interface. Micro-bubble sizes vary between 0.1 and 60 µm and their concentration can reach 106 ml¯¹. The term “micro-bubbles” cannot be considered absolutely exact though these electrically active medium disturbances are really small because the above objects do not feature even relatively stable gas-liquid interface.
In particular, Japanese investigators regard such small-size disturbances as clusters. In EA solutions, micro-bubbles are evenly distributed in the volume and remain intact up to 4000 hours. Micro-bubbles are electrically and chemically active components and can serve as catalysts or inhibitors in oxidation-reduction reactions. Their role is especially considerable in Anolyte solution, since these solutions are saturated with micro-bubbles formed during both anodic and cathodic processes, due to which the active components of these solutions behave as conjugated oxidation-reduction pairs. Electrochemically activated Anolyte demonstrate universal action, i. e. produce damaging effect on all major systemic microbial groups (bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoan), being harmless for the tissue cells of humans and other higher organisms, i. e. somatic animal cells making up a multi-cellular system.
This is due to essential distinctions in the structure and life conditions of cells representing these life forms. The cells of higher organisms, in the process of their life activity, for instance in oxygenize reactions of P-450 cytochrome functioning, during phagocytosis when microbial cells are adhesive and immobilized, produce and employ a number of highly-active oxidants, such as O2-, O•, 1O2, H2O2, HO2•, HO•, ClO- and others. These cells possess powerful chemical system of anti-oxidant defence preventing toxic effect of such substances on vitally important cell structures. Antioxidant properties of somatic cells are associated with the presence of a strong three-layer lipoproteid membrane containing diene conjugates (-C=C-) with electron-donor properties. Microorganisms do not produce such substances in the process of their life activity and have no powerful anti-oxidant defence systems, that is why electrochemically activated biocidal solutions are highly toxic for them. Biocidal substances in electrochemically activated solutions commonly used as antiseptic or chemotherapy agents are not toxic for human somatic cells, since 50-95% of them are represented by oxidants similar to those produced by the cells of higher organisms.
Chemical potential of molecules and ions in electrically activated biocidal solutions (EA solutions) is much higher than that in non-activated ones. Low mineralization of EA solutions and their better hydration ability increasing cell wall and membrane permeability ensure intensive osmotic and electro osmotic oxidant transfer into inter-cellular medium. Osmotic oxidant transfer through microbial cell membranes is much more vigorous than that occurring through somatic cell membranes due to essential difference between osmotic gradients of these types of cells. Accelerated electro osmotic oxidant transfer is intensified by a multitude of electrically charged micro-bubbles of electrolysis gases creating powerful local electric fields with high level of heterogeneity in areas of contact with biopolymers.
All animal somatic cells are heterotrophic: their trophicity depends on the presence of such nutrient components as glucose, amino acids and fatty acids in extra cellular environment. Biologic well being of a somatic cell is associated with the place it occupies in the process of distributing trophic functions of all multi-cellular system elements (cell backs cell). Animal cell trophic functions subordinate to the inter changeability law. If a cell’s trophicity is disturbed, this disturbance can be corrected by neurotrophic regulations, endocrine regulations, functions of the neighbouring cells, blood nutritive function, etc.
All microbial cells are autotrophic and their nutrition depends on their own energetic activity, i. e. if enzymatic processes in a microbial cell are suppressed, it results in its death since there are no compensatory mechanisms. A microbial cell performs all its trophic functions only with the help of enzymatic reactions. Interaction between microbial cells in their habitat environment is not compensatory; that is, a weak spot of a microbial cell is its autonomy. Maximum employment of the fundamental differences between living creatures of micro- and macro-biologic world is the ideological basis of electrochemically activated biocidal solutions.
In contrast to traditional disinfectant and sterilizing solutions, such as glutaric aldehyde, formaldehyde, chloramines, sodium hypo chlorite, dichlor-izo-cyanurates, per-acetic acid, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), heavy metal compounds and other synthetic biocidal substances, the active ingredients of Anolyte are not xenobiotic substances and produce no adverse effect on the organism of man and warm-blooded animals. These substances are inorganic short-lived peroxide compounds usually synthesized in the organism of man and warm-blooded animals by specialized electrochemically active cell enzymes and take part in the processes of neutralizing harmful and foreign substances in the body (phagocytosis).
A metastable peroxide mixture formed in the course of bio-electrochemical reactions in the bodies of man and warm-blooded animals is the most efficient of all commonly used means for microorganism destruction, as it has a multitude of spontaneously realized opportunities to change (irreversibly damage) vitally essential functions of microorganism polymers on the level of electron transfer reactions. In its biocidal action mechanism, electrochemically activated neutral anolyte is similar to gas plasma, and its degradation products are source substances, i. e. low-mineralized water. Upon utilization, they spontaneously degrade forming no toxic xenobiotic compounds and do not require neutralization before being discharged into sewerage system. Activated solutions kills pathogens of bacterial, viral and mycotic etiology and its efficiency considerably exceeds that of such well-known disinfectants as chloramines, sodium hypochlorite-etc.
TECHNOLOGY
The Electro Activation Technology is the process of passing ordinary water with pure salt Solution/sea water through an AQUALYTE reactor where both of these two are mixed and affected by high-intensity electric field. As a result, the dis-balanced changes in water structure occur and water is enriched which results in producing two different Activated solutions* namely Anolyte and Catholyte and leave as one neutral solution, depending on the design of the AQUALYTE reactors.
Some of the reactive ions and free radicals species formed in the chambers given below:
Reactive molecules: O3, O3, H2O2, ClO2, HClO, Cl2, HCl, HClO3, NaOH, H2
Reactive ions: H+ , H3O+ , OH- , ClO-
Reactive Free Radicals: HO• , OH2• , O2• , O• , ClO• , Cl• , O2• , ClO•, O2• , O2* , H3O2
The activated solutions develop opposing potentials, the Anolyte having a redox potential of plus 1000mV, while the Catholyte reaches a value of minus 1000mV. The redox potential can be considered a gross indicator of the indicator of the energy incorporated into the respective solutions, likened to the potential built up within thunder clouds relative to the ground, waiting to discharge if anything is available to react with, to neutralize the build-up charge. The solutions can maintain much of their activity for many months or even year. This stability and activity is dependent upon the design of the reactor and power density in use during production of the solutions.
The anolyte has superior sterilizing and disinfectant properties, since the reactive species present in the solution are more effective in destroying microorganisms and organic molecules than chlorine alone. Organic molecules such as pesticides, tannins and phenols, which are of concern in terms of toxicity, color and off-flavors, are effectively oxidized.
The anolyte is an effective means of eliminating organisms of public health concern (E.Coli, Cholera, Dengue, Typhoid, Paratyphoid, Legionaries etc.) from water, via mosquitoes and sewage systems, while simultaneously destroying organic constituents, which are commonly associated with off flavor and color.
The catholye, in turn does not have any sterilizing properties, however, it is a useful in its own right, as the predominance of OH• ions and its reducing power combine effectively to precipitate metal ions out of solution. Hard water, which is typically characterized by high calcium (Ca++), magnesium (Mg++) and iron (Fe++) contents, is softened significantly by precipitating these ions out of solution as illustrated in the following reaction:
Me++ + 2OH- —> MeOH2
MODE OF ACTION:
When the body comes under attack from invading bacteria and viruses, the body's immune system immediately responds by sending increased numbers of a specific white blood cell called a Neutrophil to the invasion site. Once activated, these cells produce substantial quantities of a mixed oxidant solution which is highly effective in eliminating all invading microbes and pathogens. The oxidant that the white blood cells produce is acknowledged to be amongst the most potent natural disinfectants, yet it remains non-toxic to humans, and is highly effective as an antimicrobial agent with rapid action. It is called Hypochlorous acid or HOCl.
HOCl is generated under highly specific electrochemical conditions using a combination of water, salt and electricity. By utilising the specially designed AQUALYTE REACTOR is able to consistently and repeatedly produce HOCl of the highest quality and efficacy, litre after litre. HOCI is extremely effective at eliminating all pathogens and food spoilage microbes including spores.

Catholyte is a caustic soda equivalent. It holds a pH around 11-13 and can replace chemical agents where caustic soda is used more efficiently and at a far less cost then any chemical formulation. With Catholyte processes like CIP can be accomplished using cold water yield the same results as using caustic soda in warm water.
What is Neutral Anolyte?
Neutral Anolyte is a biocidal agent holds a pH of around 7.5-8.5 and can replace chemical formulations used for rinsing and other tasks where acidity might be a liability.
What are the active agents in the liquids?
The Anolytes consists of 99.6% water, 0.26% salt and 0.05-0.06% hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ion, hydrochloric acid with a touch of chlorine. The generators contain one (or more) special electrolyte cells that charge the water with an electrical charge. The concentrate of liquid holds around 800 - 1,200 mV of charge (ORP), depending on whether it is acidic or neutral anolyte.
What is so special about this electrolyte cell compared to other similar products?
Low power, low salt consumption (3- 4gm/lit activated solutions), High quality Nobel metals alloys with fine coatings, hence the end product is purely concentrated with less sodium which can be stored for long time.
What is the life expectancy of the AQUALYTE Cells?
Our product line ships with a 1year factory warranty, although the cells are expected to have a life time of 3 to 5 years, after which only the cells need be replaced.
How much liquid can the units produce?
It depends of the unit. We have units that produce from 60 to 100,000 liters a day.
What does the unit cost and what are the running costs?
There are no off-the-shelf prices. All of the units are customized for their intended use. Prices are estimated to range from starting from €7,000 depending on the type of unit and the application use. Once the unit is installed, then the only running costs are ordinary water, edible salt and electricity!
How much do I need to dose in my application?
Each application must be well studied and apply the solutions according to the required result. We will consult our clients.
