GH-40 Anolyte/Catholyte Generator

Envirolyte GH-40 anolyte/catholyte generator is a compact on-site system designed to produce neutral anolyte only or both neutral anolyte and catholyte on demand. The unit is intended for applications where a reliable local source of disinfecting and washing fluids is required without dependence on delivered ready-to-use chemical products.

GH-40 uses premixed NaCl brine directly from a storage container and does not require connection to a mains water source during operation. This makes the generator practical for hotels, schools, healthcare facilities, public buildings, supermarkets, recreation facilities, swimming pools, SPA centres and other sites where easy installation, simple operation and controlled solution production are important.

The GH-40 generator can be evaluated for hygiene, cleaning and water-related disinfection tasks where neutral anolyte and alkaline catholyte are required in moderate volumes. For larger continuous installations, compare GH-40 with ELA anolyte generators, CG catholyte generators and CIP equipment.

For other production capacities and solution requirements, compare Envirolyte anolyte generator families, including ELA, ANW, HD and Sea Water systems.

What the GH-40 Generator Produces

The GH-40 generator is designed to produce neutral anolyte as the oxidizing disinfectant stream and, when required, catholyte as the alkaline washing stream. Anolyte contains free available chlorine species, including hypochlorous acid under suitable pH conditions, and can be used as part of validated hygiene and disinfection procedures.

Anolyte should be used together with appropriate cleaning procedures, personal protective equipment and site-specific hygiene protocols. Any application in healthcare, public buildings or hygiene-sensitive environments should be validated according to local regulations, surface compatibility, target microorganisms and operating procedures.

GH-40 generated solutions and typical use
Generated solutionTypical parameterTypical role
Neutral anolyte onlyUp to approximately 50 LPH at 100–500 ppm FAC and about pH 8.5.On-site disinfectant solution for compatible surfaces, premises, hygiene tasks and selected water-related applications.
Neutral anolyte with catholyte productionApproximately 30 LPH neutral anolyte at 100–500 ppm FAC and pH 5.0–7.2.Disinfection stream when both anolyte and catholyte are required from one compact system.
CatholyteApproximately 20 LPH at pH 11.5–12.5.Alkaline washing fluid for selected cleaning and process-support tasks.
Anolyte/catholyte ratioCan be set and controlled by the anolyte valve and catholyte valve.Allows operators to adjust output balance according to the required hygiene or cleaning task.

Installation and Operation

Unlike many larger generators, GH-40 is designed to operate from premixed brine stored in a container. The standard configuration uses approximately 4.5 g/L salt, while lower-salt configurations using approximately 1.5–2.5 g/L are available upon request.
