The ElectroCide process is simple:
Alkaline Water
pH = 11.5
Sodium Hydroxide
ORP -800mV
Salt + water + electricity =
Acidic Water
pH = 2.7 6.0
Hypochlorous Acid
ORP = +1,200mV
(40 60 ppm of free chlorine)
Since it utilizes an electrolysis process, the ElectroCide System produces two streams of water: an acidic hypochlorous acid solution
for disinfecting and sanitizing and a alkaline dilute sodium hydroxide solution that can be used to remove oils, greases and fats.
There is no chemical mixing and no constant monitoring of pH or ORP to achieve the maximum benefits.
In food preparation practice, the alkaline solution is often used to remove gross proteinaceous contamination followed by application
of the acidic solution to eliminate pathogens. No rinsing is required after this treatment.
The two step process does not have to be used if the surface requiring sanitizing or disinfecting does not have gross contamination.
The ElectroCide System does not require constant handling of chemicals or monitoring of ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) and pH
of the input water.
"Free chlorine" (which by definition must contain at least 85% hypochlorous acid) is known to be a very effective anti-bacterial agent.
Many sanitation managers will attempt to maintain produce wash water systems with a high level of this agent. Hypochlorous acid is normally generated by adding an acid to a sodium hypochlorite solution to maintain a pH value ~6. The ElectroCide System eliminates the considerable effort associated with monitoring and mixing these chemicals together.
