HOCl Generators

A HOCL generator is a device that produces Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) on-site through the electrolysis of saltwater. It ensures a constant supply of a powerful disinfectant.

HOCL generators offer on-demand production, eliminating the need for storage and transportation of pre-made solutions. They provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution for continuous disinfection.

Anolyte refers to an activated solution created on-site through Electro Chemical Activation (ECA). This potent disinfectant effectively combats bacteria, viruses, and algae, even when diluted in water or dispersed in the air. Anolyte is commonly produced as Neutral Electrolyzed Water ('NEW').

Electrolyte is a chemical compound (salt, acid, or base) dissociating into electrically charged ions when dissolved in a solvent. This resulting electrolytic solution serves as an ionic conductor of electricity. Molten salts and solutions, such as ionic liquids, are also referred to as electrolytes in electrochemical cells.

Acidic Anolyte, with a pH of approximately 2.0-4.0 and an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) exceeding 1000, is a robust disinfectant. It is suitable for applications where pH is unimportant, and there is no risk of corrosion, demonstrating efficacy against various microorganisms.

Neutral Anolyte, with a pH of around 6.0-7.0, an active chlorine content of 50-500 ppm, and an ORP exceeding 900mV, is utilized when pH control is critical. Widely employed for disinfecting water sources, swimming pools, and surfaces, it proves effective against bacteria and viruses.

Catholyte, a by-product produced on-site, boasts an ORP of -800 to -900mV and an alkaline pH of approximately 10-13. While lacking sterilizing properties, it finds applications in flocculation, coagulation, washing, and extraction, as well as wound washing.

Alkaline Electrolyzed Water and Acidic Electrolyzed Water are outcomes of electrolyzing tap water with a specific amount of salt. Acidic Electrolyzed Water is a strong oxidizing solution with a typical pH range of 3.5 to 8.5, while Alkaline Electrolyzed Water has a pH range of 11.2 to 11.4. Both are known by various names, such as AEW, Anox, Suprox, EO-water, Cathox, and others.

Neutral Electrolyzed Water (‘NEW’) is an all-natural, organic, non-toxic, and environmentally safe sanitizing and disinfecting solution. Produced through the electrochemical reaction of water, salt, and electricity, NEW revolutionizes sanitization, offering advantages such as safety, superior disinfection performance, removal of biofilm, and enhanced micro flocculation.

Total Chlorine encompasses chlorine in free or combined forms, reflecting its presence in a solution.

FAC includes Hypochlorous Acid, hypochlorite ions, or dissolved elemental chlorine. It is 'free' as it hasn't reacted and 'available' for reactions.

Combined Chlorine exists in chloramines or organic chloramines, remaining an effective disinfectant.

TRC is the sum of free available residual chlorine and combined residual chlorine, representing the measurable chlorine post-treatment.

FRC comprises dissolved chlorine gas, Hypochlorous Acid, and/or Hypochlorite Ion after chlorination, excluding chlorine combined with ammonia or nitrogen.

Combined Residual Chlorine has reacted with organics, losing some disinfecting strength.

Chlorine Demand is the difference between added chlorine and residual chlorine after a specified contact time, influenced by dosage, time, temperature, pH, and water impurities.

Chlorine Requirement is the necessary chlorine dosage for specific purposes, such as bacteria reduction or achieving a particular residual chlorine level.

Chloramines result from the reaction of chlorine and ammonia-nitrogen in water, serving as combined chlorine.

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) forms when chlorine dissolves in water, functioning as a bleach, oxidizer, deodorant, and disinfectant.

Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) is a chlorine compound produced via electrolysis of Sodium Chloride solution.

Sodium Chloride (NaCl), or common salt, is a key component in electrolyzed solutions.

Sodium Chlorite is derived from Sodium Chlorate and is used in water treatment, but caution is needed due to potential haematological effects.

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), or caustic soda, is produced through the chloralkali process and contributes to the alkaline nature of solutions.

Chlorine Dioxide is a stable reddish-yellow gas used in water treatment but requires careful handling.

Neutral Electrolyzed Water (NEW) represents a ground-breaking advancement in sanitization and disinfection. Crafted from the electrochemical interaction of basic water, salt, and electricity, this solution stands out as an all-natural, organic, non-toxic, and environmentally safe method for sanitizing and disinfecting various surfaces. Its applications are virtually limitless, spanning any process that requires sterilization, disinfection, cleaning, or water purification.

In the food industry, NEW is spearheading a revolution in sanitization and disinfection practices. Not only does it offer a "Green" solution that contributes to safeguarding the nation's food supply, but it also aligns with the growing concerns of the American public regarding the surge in food product recalls. The demand for the industry to swiftly adopt safer and more natural products is met by the numerous advantages that NEW brings to the table, surpassing traditional chemical technologies. These advantages include:

• Safety: NEW ensures a safe and secure sanitization process.
• Superior Disinfection Performance: It excels in effectively eliminating harmful microorganisms.
• Removal of Biofilm: NEW is adept at eliminating and preventing the formation of biofilm.
• Stable, Long-lasting Chlorine Residual: The chlorine residual it leaves behind is not only stable but also enduring.
• Enhanced Micro flocculation (Reduction in Turbidity): It aids in reducing turbidity through improved micro flocculation.
• Improved Taste and Odour: NEW contributes to an enhanced sensory experience by improving taste and eliminating unpleasant odours.
• Oxidation of Iron, Manganese, and Hydrogen Sulphide: It effectively addresses issues related to iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulphide.
   

Dosing involves feeding a disinfectant into a process fluid, atmosphere or another media in intervals to give it sufficient time to react or show the results.
