Electrolysis system Dulco®Lyse for the production of ECA (electrochemically activated) water

*Use of ECA water
in bottler spraying

Generally referred to as ECA water, hypochlorous acid is increasingly used in the food industry and drinks industry as a disinfectant. ProMaqua has developed an effective electrolysis process for the production of smart disinfectant ECA water: the electrolysis system Dulco®Lyse.

An on-site system, it produces an inexpensive disinfectant from water, table salt and electricity called hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which has a very low chloride content . It can be used to efficiently, sustainably and environmentally disinfect machines and systems. It effectively disinfects process water and production systems. At the same time, it prevents the formation of biofilms.

ECA (electrochemically activated) water produced with Dulco®Lyse ensures:

Environmentally friendly, highly effective disinfection
No corrosion thanks to extremely low chlorine content
Economical production on-site from water and table salt
Long-term freedom from germs, without the need to transport, store and handle highly concentrated chemicals
Additional use of on-site produced sodium hydroxide solution
Minimum water treatment prior to electrolysis

Advantages of Smart Disinfection using Dulco®Lyse compared with ECA water produced using conventional processes

Dulco^®Lyse	Conventional processes
Low chloride content: Minimal risk of corrosion	High chloride content: High risk of corrosion
Minimum chloride / chlorine ratio: < 1	Very high chloride / chlorine ratio: up to 19
High output: Minimal salt costs	Low output: High salt costs
Minimal need for treated product water: Minimal expenditure for water conditioning	High requirement for treated product water: High cost of water conditioning
