ECAFLO™ Technology

ECAFLO™ is an environmentally safe scientific process aimed at satisfying customers’ needs by means of ECTG’s patented electrochemical equipment and processes.

Electrochemical Activation is the process of passing a diluted saline solution (0.001 – 1.0%) or ordinary water through a FEM (Flow-through Electrolytic Module) in order to generate (by electrochemical energy conversion) environmentally friendly, highly active solutions of ECASOL™ and /or AVERSOL™.

ECASOL™ is a strong oxidizing solution with a pH range of 3.5 – 8.5 and an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of +600 to +1200mV. The most common application of ECASOL™ is as a biocidal agent.

ECASOL™ advantages:

• It is highly sporocidal (unlike most decontaminants)
• It kills microorganisms in extremely short contact time
• Active ingredients at applied concentrations do not bleach surfaces or materials
• It can be applied at multiple purposes and in different forms such as liquid, ice, fog
• It is non-toxic and its residual by-products also are non-toxic
• It reverts over time to its original state, a weak saline solution
• Its by-products are environmentally friendly and do not leave synthetic chemical residue
• As an on-site generated solution, it eliminates inventory, storage, transportation, and numerous regulatory and safety problems associated with traditional chemicals in commercial use today

AVERSOL™ is an anti-oxidizing, mild alkaline solution with a pH range of 10.5 to 12.0 and ORP of –600 to –900 mV. The most common application for AVERSOL™ is as a mild cleaning detergent and degreasing agent.

Water purification, conditioning and property enhancement is accomplished by passing water, without the addition of salt, through a device containing at least one FEM-3 element.

The main differences between ECAFLO™ technology and other commonly used electrochemical and chemical processes such as the generation of chlorine gas and sodium hypochlorite are:

• Low mineralization (0.5 – 5.0 g/l) of the aqua solutions used in the ECAFLO™ process
• Unipolarity of the electrochemical treatment in time and/or space
• Shortened activation process (0.3 – 10.0 seconds) 
• Low energy consumption (0.05 – 5.0 Wxh/l)
• Precise ability to control the physical-chemical properties of generated solutions.
