ECA Technology

What is Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA Technology):

The Electro Chemical Activation better known as ECA solutions are created by mixing readily available food grade salt with water thereafter passing the brine solution through the patented reactors which are the core of the ECA device. Once inside the reactor, the brine is activated by way on an electrical charge and two distinct solutions are produced:

• Anolyte which is used as a disinfectant

• Catholyte which is used as a detergent

ECA technology has secured FDA and EU approval for use as an advanced disinfectant in the food and beverage processing industries. As well as accreditation for full profile safety and anti-microbial efficacy, the Radical Waters devices are also CE certified.

Radical Waters is the market leader in Electro Chemical Activation ECA Technology. We manufacture, produce and install Electrochemical Activation hygiene management systems for food and beverage plants worldwide. ECA Technology is a replacement for traditional chemical cleaning processes.

How ECA Works:

Electro Chemical Activation better known as ECA is a scientific process that mimics the body’s own natural process. The following explains how the ECA process actually works.

When the body comes under attack from invading bacteria and viruses, the body’s immune system immediately responds by sending increased numbers of a specific white blood cell called a Neutrophil to the invasion site. Once activated, these cells produce substantial quantities of a mixed oxidant solution, which is highly effective in eliminating all invading microbes and pathogens. The oxidant that the white blood cells produce is acknowledged to be amongst the most potent natural disinfectants, yet it remains non-toxic to humans, and is highly effective as an antimicrobial agent with rapid action. It is called Hypochlorous acid or HOCl.

HOCl is generated under highly specific electrochemical conditions using a combination of water, salt (NaCl) and electricity. By utilizing the specially designed and highly controlled production systems Radical Waters is able to consistently and repeatedly produce HOCl of the highest quality and efficacy, liter after liter.

HOCI is extremely effective at eliminating all pathogens and food spoilage microbes including spores.
