Electro-Chemistry & Product Applications
-
Electro-Chemistry is the
science that deals with the interrelationship and reaction of Direct
Current [DC] electricity in water, with the mutual conversion of Chemical
and Electrical Energy.

Our Electro-Chemical
Process [ECP]:
Ø
Is based on the recently discovered Law of Anomalous Changes of
Reaction and Catalytic Abilities of Aqueous Solutions when subjected to
Electro-Chemical Unipolar Treatment to produce Activated Solutions as
Anolyte [Acidic Oxidant] and Catholyte [Alkaline Anti-Oxidant].
Ø
Facilitates and simplifies the processes of Water & Sewage
Treatment.
Ø
Provides for On-Site Generation of Activated Solutions that are:
¨
Rapid Acting.
¨
Broad Spectrum
¨
Highly Effective Anti-Microbial Agents
¨
Non-Irritant & Non-Toxic to Humans & Animals
¨
Virtually Odorless & Environmentally Friendly
Ø
Eliminates the use of costly reagents and toxic chemicals.
Ø
Improves the quality of the treated substances.
Ø
Reduces the number and duration of technological operations.
Ø
Decreases the labor intensity.
Unlike
well-known Electro-Chemical Methodology, the process of Electro-Chemical
Activation begins with treatment of the initial substances with a Diluted
Aqua-Saline Solution [Brine] in the Feed Water.
The ECP
End-Products are not concentrated chemical substances, but Activated Anolyte
and Catholyte Solutions as Low-Mineralized Liquids in a metastable
[activated] state with increased chemical activity.
Electro-Chemically Activated Solutions are produced through Unipolar
Electro-Chemical Exposure in which micro-volumes of liquid are passed
through the High Voltage Electrical Field of a Double Electric Layer near
the surface of the electrodes.
Such stated
conditions of producing Activated Solutions can only be realized through the
use of Special Diaphragmatic Cells which are the key elements of the ECP
system.

Our Electro-Chemical Process [ECP] method of
producing Anolyte for Water & Sewage Treatment does not use the traditional
chemical system.
Our technology is not comparable with
chlorination in terms of Kg of Chlorine per Hour/Day since Anolyte is much
more powerful than Chlorine with much less Active Chlorine needed.
Our technology largely overcomes Health, Safety &
Environmental Pollution Concerns that are associated with Traditional
Chemical Treatment Systems.
An Electrolytic Reactor is used to alter water in
producing a powerful Micro-Biocide, a Catalyst, a Detergent, a Redox Agent
and many other types of Activated Water with diverse applications.
Activated Water is produced by passing a Diluted
Saline Solution through an Electrolytic Reactor which changes the water’s
molecular structure and transfers electrical energy to the created solutions
of Anolyte [Acidic Oxidant] & Catholyte [Alkaline Anti-Oxidant].
Since no man-made chemicals are introduced, both
solutions are safe for man and environment, with the Activated Solutions
reverting back to ordinary water.
When Direct Current [DC] electricity flows
through water a chemical reaction takes place on the electrodes, with a
change in the chemical composition of the water near the Anode and Cathode.
The design of the Electrolytic Reactor generates
a Uniform High-Intensity DC Electrical Field through which the Feed Water
must pass.
The objective is to subject the entire volume of
Feed Water to the electrical field at the highest possible intensity with
maximum chemical exposure and minimum heat emission.
The water activation that occurs at the Anode &
Cathode terminals results in the creation of solutions whose properties
including pH, Oxidation Reduction Potential [ORP] and physical form lie
outside the range that can be achieved by conventional chemical means.
The design engineering of the Electrolytic
Reactor is difficult since the maximum intensity of the Electro-Physical
Effect only occurs in close proximity to the electrode surface in an
Electric Double Layer [EDL] where the electric field intensity reaches
hundreds of thousands of Volts per Centimeter.
Since the EDL is very thin – about 0.1mm in weak
solutions and much thinner in concentrated solutions – the Electrolytic
Reactor must be designed to insure maximum treatment of the micro-volumes of
water as they pass in close proximity to the Anode and Cathode.
The electrochemical activation causes water to
transform into a metastable (activated) state characterized by unusual
values of Chemical & Physical Properties – including the Oxidation Reduction
Potential [ORP] connected with the activity of electrons in water,
Electrical Conductivity, pH, Other Parameters & Properties.
