Electrochemical activaton system suitable for producing electrochemically-activated solutions through use of an electrolytic cell exchange module

An ECA system adapted for producing separable and both of an aqueous, mixed oxidant, predominantly anion-containing solution and an aqueous, mixed reductant, predominantly cation-containing solution, the ECA system being characterised therein that it includes at least one through-flow electrolytic cell;

• feed preparation means arranged in fluid communication with the electrolytic cell for introducing into the same a premixed saline solution of fixed concentration;
• distribution means, such as a hydraulic manifold, for distributing feed solution in a parallel, serial or hybrid manner, through the electrolytic cell;
• and collection means for continuously collecting the predominantly anion-containing and predominantly cation-containing solutions.

An electrolytic cell exchange module characterised therein that it is designed for accommodating a series of electrolytic cells therein and, more particularly, is modularised to incorporate different numbers of electrolytic cells for different production volumes, and wherein the electrolytic cells is interconnected in the electrolytic cell exchange module electrically and/or hydraulically either in series or in parallel, and arranged in fluid communication with a feed preparation system.

An electrochemical activation management (“ECAM”) system characterised therein that it is adapted to cooperate with an ECA system for managing removal, reconditioning and installation of electrolytic cell exchange modules and electrolytic cells of the ECA system, and which keeps track of movement and history of individual electrolytic exchange modules.
