Anolyte and Catholyte Generators for Water Treatment and Process Hygiene

Envirolyte designs and manufactures electrochemical activation systems for the on-site generation of anolyte and catholyte solutions.

Envirolyte systems are used in water disinfection, process hygiene, cleaning-in-place, agriculture, food processing, maritime and industrial water-treatment applications.

Depending on the selected generator and operating configuration, Envirolyte equipment produces oxidizing anolyte for disinfection and microbial control, alkaline catholyte for selected washing and process-support applications, or both solutions as part of an integrated treatment process.

On-site generation uses water, salt and electricity and can reduce dependence on transported treatment chemicals while giving operators direct control over solution production, dosing and integration with the treatment process.

Envirolyte Anolyte and Catholyte Generation Systems

Envirolyte product families cover different production capacities, generated-solution parameters and application requirements. System selection should be based on the required output, water quality, target solution parameters, dosing method, process conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.

Performance, Testing and Compliance Information

Independent Testing

Envirolyte systems and generated solutions (anolyte and catholyte) have been put through extensive series of independent tests and on-site trials including hospitals, breweries, water systems and agricultural environments.

Safer World

Being environmentally friendly, completely safe, non-toxic and non-irritant Anolyte is welcome where traditional chemicals fail to produce the desired results or can’t be applied at all.

Better Alternative

The conclusions prove that Anolyte being a low-cost and powerful disinfectant is set to become the preferred solution for many sterilisation, disinfecting and water purification procedures.

How Envirolyte Electrochemical Activation Technology Works

Envirolyte systems use electrochemical activation in specially designed electrolysis cells. A saline feed solution passes through an electrochemical reactor where electrical current produces activated liquid streams with different chemical properties.

The anode stream produces oxidizing anolyte containing active chlorine species. Depending on pH and operating conditions, hypochlorous acid can form an important part of the available chlorine chemistry. The cathode stream produces alkaline catholyte, which can be used in selected cleaning, washing and process-support applications.

The required solution characteristics are not universal. Generator configuration and operating parameters should be selected according to the intended application, required free available chlorine concentration, pH, flow rate, contact time, water chemistry and process-control requirements.

For a detailed explanation of the process, see Envirolyte electrochemical activation technology.

Water Treatment, Disinfection and Process Hygiene Applications

Envirolyte systems can be integrated into water-treatment and hygiene programmes where on-site production of anolyte, catholyte or both solutions is technically appropriate. Each installation should be designed around the actual water source, treatment objective, process conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.
