- EGO Technology
- EGO = Electrolytically Generated Oxidants
- The unit was developed to electrolytically synthesize
sterilizing, disinfecting and washing solutions.
- The Technology uses a Diaphragmatic Electrolytical Flow Processor
Technology
Technology
- The anode and cathode are separated by a diaphragm.
- Water with 0.5-0.8% NaCl/KCl solution, flows on both sides of the membrane and is exposed to an electrical field which modifies the structure of the solution
Oxidation & Reduction
- Oxidation or anodic reactions are those that result in a surplus
of electrons, and for corrosion these typically correspond to the
various metal dissolution reactions.

- Unique Technology
A diaphragm separates the eGOgerm - Anolyte and Catholyte solutions that are generated respectively at
the anode and cathode chambers of the cell, thus preventing the two
streams from mixing and inter reacting to form a simple sodium hypo
chlorite solution, as is the case with electrochemical cells that
are commercially available.
|
| As high concentrations of Cl- and OH- without the compensation of Na+
and H+ build up on either side of the membrane, this unstable chemical
state results in complex reactions which produces a metastable solution
containing a wide variety of very reactive ions and free radicals. Some
of the reactive ions and free radicals species are formed in the anodic
chambers. |
 |
Some of the more important reactive constituents formed include, hypochlorite (HClO),
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ozone (O3), Chlorine (Cl2) and HClO3. Most of the
compound are formed in the anolyte chamber, they are acidic in nature and are
very strong oxidising compounds; while the reactive species formed in the
catholyte chamber tend to be basic and are strong reducing agents. As a result,
the eGOgerm - anolyte is acidic (pH~2.4 - 5), while the catholyte is basic (pH~10 -12),
relative to the neutral pH of the starting NaCI solution. Analogously, the
eGOgerm - anolyte and catholyte solutions develop opposing potentials, the
eGOgerm - anolyte having a
red ox potential of plus 1000mV, while the catholyte reaches a value of minus
lOOOmV, relative to a potential of plus 300-400mV for the starting NaCI
solution.
- Oxidation / Reduction
The red-ox potential can be considered a gross indicator of the energy
incorporated into the respective solutions, likened to the potential built
up within thunder clouds relative to the ground, waiting to discharge if
anything is available to react with, to neutralise the build-up charge.
The oxidative eGOgerm - anolyte solution destroying micro-organisms and organic
matter, while the reductive Catholyte is useful for precipitating metal
ions.
The solutions can maintain much of their activity for many months or even
years, if mixed together in certain proportions, they can form a stable
neutral product at pH 6.5 to 7.5 with a red ox potential of 650mV.
- eGOgerm - Anolyte
What we have is a potent cocktail of existing technologies (H2O2; O3, Cl)
which is extremely effective, yet totally safe!
eGOgerm - anolyte is a strong oxidizing solution with a pH range of 3.5 – 8.5
and an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of +600 to +1000mV. The most
common application of eGOgerm - anolyte is as a biocidal agent.
- Catholyte
Catholyte is an anti-oxidizing, mild alkaline solution with a pH range
of 10.5 to 12.0 and ORP of –600 to –1000 mV.
- EGO
Electrolytic ally Generated Oxidants (EGO) technology is an environmentally
safe scientific process aimed at satisfying customers’ needs by means of
equipment and processes. Electrochemical Activation is the process of
passing a diluted saline solution (0.001 – 1.0%) or ordinary water through
a reactor unit in order to generate (by electrolytic energy conversion)
environmentally friendly, highly active solutions of eGOgerm - anolyte and /or
Catholyte.
- Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry is the part of science which deals with the
interrelationship of electrical currents, or voltages, and chemical
reactions, and with the mutual conversion of chemical and electrical energy.
ECA is based on a new, previously unknown law of anomalous changes of
reactional and catalytic abilities of aqueous solutions subjected to
electrochemical unipolar (either anodic or cathodic) treatment. ECA of
solutions is necessarily associated with alteration of their chemical
composition, acidity and (or) alkalinity within a wide range.
- Differences
The main differences between EGO and other commonly used electrochemical and
chemical processes such as the generation of chlorine gas and sodium
hypochlorite are EGO’s:
- Low mineralization (0.5 – 5.0 g/l) of the aqua solutions used in the
EGO 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 solution
That is why EGO application makes it possible:
- - to exclude from routine technological processes the regulation
of solution properties with costly reagents;
- - to improve quality of the treated substances;
- - to reduce the number and duration of technological operations;
- - to decrease their labour-consuming nature;
- - to facilitate and simplify processes of water and sewage
purification.
