Understanding ECA Technology

Electrochemical Activation (ECA) is a proven, science-backed technology used to create powerful and environmentally safe water disinfection solutions.

At the core of this process is electrolysis, where a low-voltage electrical current is applied to a diluted saltwater solution as it passes through a specially designed electrolytic cell. This triggers a controlled, non-spontaneous chemical reaction, transforming the solution into two distinct, non-toxic outputs:

  • Anolyte: a disinfectant containing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which many studies show is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and biofilms.
  • Catholyte: a gentle, alkaline cleaning solution containing sodium hydroxide (NaOH), with powerful cleaning and degreasing capabilities.

Anolyte and Catholyte are low-mineral, metastable solution, meaning they exist in a temporarily energized state that gives them increased chemical reactivity and enhanced disinfection. This is a key reason why they are highly effective at low concentrations and can outperform conventional chemicals.

Importantly, microorganisms do not develop resistance to HOCl - ensuring long-term, effective sanitation without the diminishing returns seen in some conventional disinfectants.

Electrolyzed water technology is safe for people, gentle on equipment, and the outputs are biodegradable - making it ideal for industries that demand reliable water disinfection systems without the environmental or operational risks of hazardous chemicals.

How Hypochlorous Acid Is Created

Producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) involves a straightforward chemical process. It begins by combining carefully measured amounts of salt (sodium chloride) and water. When an electrical current is applied, the solution is split into two useful compounds through a process called electrolysis.

This electrochemical reaction is the foundation of electrolyzed water, allowing the production of safe, sustainable water treatment solutions without the need for harmful chemicals.

  • Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)

    A powerful, natural disinfectant, the same that the body's immune system produces to fight off pathogens. In ECA systems, HOCl is generated when the pH is properly controlled, resulting in a highly effective, non-toxic sanitation solution.

  • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

    A mild alkaline cleaner formed during the same process. It’s commonly found in household and industrial cleaning products, and in low concentrations, it serves as an effective degreaser.

Patented Diaphragmatic Cell Design

Our proprietary diaphragmatic cell physically separates the anode and cathode chambers, preventing the reactive streams from mixing.

This ensures the pure production of hypochlorous acid, rather than reverting to less effective compounds like sodium hypochlorite, which commonly forms in unipolar or non-separated systems.

  • High Output & Compact Footprint

    OmniLyte generators are engineered for performance and portability. Individual cells can produce 20 to 1200 liters per hour of Anolyte. Systems can be scaled to deliver up to 6000 LPH, providing a tailored
    fit for all operations.

  • Elevated ORP

    The ECA process elevates the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the final solution to between -800mV and +1200mV. This heightened ORP contributes to Anolyte’s enhanced solubility and disinfection power. When properly stored, Anolyte solutions can maintain biocidal properties for up to 6-12 months.

  • Precision Control

    ECA systems offer full control over Free Available Chlorine (FAC) levels and pH output, allowing for tailored disinfection and cleaning based on specific use cases, such as neutral anolyte for drinking water or higher-concentrations for industrial sanitation.
