Envirolyte Technology

Envirolyte systems use electrochemical activation technology to generate functional solutions on site from water and sodium chloride.

Depending on the system configuration and operating parameters, the process can produce oxidizing Anolyte (hypochlorous acid, HOCl) and alkaline Catholyte for selected water treatment, sanitation and industrial applications.

On-site generation using water, salt and electricity

Envirolyte technology is based on the electrochemical treatment of a sodium chloride solution in specialized electrolysis cells.

The process enables on-site generation of active solutions that can be used in selected applications where water disinfection, sanitation or process hygiene support is required.

The suitability of the generated solution depends on the application, water quality, required concentration, system capacity, dosing method and local regulatory requirements.

Advantages and project-specific limitations

On-site generation can reduce the need to transport and store certain ready-to-use chemical products. It may also support flexible production of active solutions close to the point of use.

However, each project must be reviewed technically. Factors such as water quality, required concentration, dosage, contact time, system capacity, materials compatibility and local regulations can affect suitability.

Testing, approvals and documentation

For regulated applications, technical documentation, testing data and approved wording are important. Envirolyte materials may include product specifications, testing documents, approvals and case studies depending on the application and market.

Regulatory and performance claims must match the intended application, jurisdiction and available supporting documentation.

Technology FAQ

What technology does Envirolyte use?

Envirolyte systems use electrochemical activation technology to generate functional solutions on site from water and sodium chloride.

What is electrolyzed water?

Electrolyzed water is produced through an electrochemical process using water, dissolved salts and electricity. Depending on the system and process conditions, different solution types can be generated for selected applications.

What are Anolyte (hypochlorous acid, HOCl) and Catholyte?

Anolyte (hypochlorous acid, HOCl) is the oxidising solution generated in the anodic chamber of an electrochemical system and used for selected water-treatment, disinfection and process-hygiene applications. Catholyte is the alkaline reducing solution generated in the cathodic chamber and used for suitable washing, cleaning and process-support applications. Exact solution properties depend on cell design, feed water, salt concentration, pH and operating parameters.

Are Envirolyte systems suitable for all applications?

No. Suitability depends on the specific application, water quality, required output, operating conditions, local regulations and technical requirements.

Can the technology be integrated into existing systems?

In many projects, on-site generation systems can be integrated into existing water treatment or process systems, subject to technical review.
