separated by a diaphragm each having an electrode one positive and one negative.
A DC current passes through the solution producing Anolyte out of the positive
chamber after the brine volume undergone treatment in the negative chamber.
The strength of the solution varies according the current flowing between the
electrodes and gives different values for ORP (redox-potential), pH and C.ac (active
chlorine).
The general set-up for these units is for generation of 100% of Neutral Anolyte
with ~500 ppm of FAC.
The generator is calibrated to produce Anolyte with a constant quality. However,

the parameters of the fluids may differ as a result of differences in mineralization
of the mains water. Therefor we advise you to check pH, ORP and level of active
chlorine accordingly at every installation location. Please contact Envirolyte
should you require some minor adjustment.

7. Product description
7.1 Features
Envirolyte ela6000 unit has been developed to automatically produce ANK-Anolyte

only and to act as a stand-alone unit.
The unique design of the electrolyzer ensures that the brine solution has maximum
contact with the electrodes and therefore ensures the most effective use of energy
and minimum waste of raw materials.
There is minimal hydraulic resistance against the liquids flowing through the cell
chambers, which ensures that optimal flow rate is achieved.
The electrodes are specifically designed to endure high electrochemical loading as

is the diaphragm, which separates the solutions.
The enclosures are made of non-corrosive materials. Tubes and connectors are
made of PVDF plastics and are highly resistant against aggressive solutions.
Overall dimensions of the enclosure are 820 x 1720 x 520 mm and 890 x 1720 x
520 mm with all fittings and cable connectors.
Automatic start and stop functions of the unit are controlled by the level switch in
the anolyte container.
The pressure relay in ela6000 is used to stop the unit and keep it in a waiting mode
if the water pressure drops below ~0.3 bar and start operation as soon as the
pressure of the main water reaches ~0.8 bar.
The unit will give an Alarm signal if the water flow drops below ~300 L/h.
Interference of the operator is necessary to find out and eliminate the reasons for
low flow.

7.2 Power supply
The product requires the existence of 400V power source. A standard plug is used
to connect the product to power grid.
1 x C25A current breaker is used to terminate power in the unit in case of any
electrical failure such as short cuts etc. Thus, preventing any potential harm to
personnel.

10. Operating with the product
10.1 Preparation of saturated saline (NaCl) solution
Salt purity
The Envirolyte electrolyzer uses aqueous solutions of NaCl to produce Neutral

Anolyte and Catholyte. In order to prevent the diaphragm from rapidly plugging
up, we advise to use NaCl with the highest purity. The ECA-diaphragm is designed
to allow cations, in particular sodium ions to pass through. Using salts with a
substantial amount of other cations (e.g. magnesium or calcium), that could be in
the salt will result in extra cleansing of the membrane and will eventually result in
a reduced lifetime.
Preparation of saline solution
The use of salt hopper is advised to prepare the brine (see Picture 6 and Table 1).
A salt hopper ensures that the saline solution is always of the same quality. The
saline solution is always fully saturated and different dilutions of the saline solution
are avoided. In a salt hopper the saline-solution for the Envirolyte unit is pumped
from the bottom of the container, whereas a thick layer (>25 cm) of NaCl is placed
on a permeable mesh. This holds the salt above the bottom of the container, allows
water to pass though the mesh. The water that passes the salt layer is fully
saturated. Depending on the capacity of the salt hopper, the operator only has
periodically to fill the container with softened/filtered water and NaCl. Please ask
your distributor for the drawing of one of the possible designs of the salt hopper.

Manual preparation of 100 of litres saline solution
In case no salt hopper is available, the operator must prepare and monitor the
saline solution before and during the production of activated solutions. Using
unsaturated saline solution can result in shutdowns of the unit.
1. Fill up a container with 100 liters of softened/filtered water.

2. Weigh 25 kg of salt.
3. Add the 25 kg of salt to the 100-litre container.
4. Mix the solution in the container until the salt is completely dissolved.
5. Mix the brine during generation of activated solutions to ensure the equal
quality.
Using pure salts, softened/filtered water and salt hopper guarantee best
performances and maximum lifetime of the Envirolyte electrolyzer.
Salt hopper size Diameter Height

100 L ~1,0 m ~1,3 m
250 L ~1,5 m ~1,4 m
500 L ~2,0 m ~1,6 m

DANGER! handling of hydrochloric acid can
result in damage of the users’ health
and/or bodily injury.
When you do cell flushing it is very important to be sure that you do it really good,
meaning that after flushing procedure cell is clean and free from scale deposits
again. In order to control how the flushing was done you need to control salt
consumption before and after flushing.
You can do it by using key 6 on the PLC. Pressing key 6 when you see flushing
alarm on the PLC you may see salt consumption under dirty or scaled cell
conditions. Generally, it is ~12 g/L.
Once you have flushing done you may commission the machine and press key 6
again to see what is salt consumption after removing scale deposit from the cell.
Generally, it should be ~8-9 g/L. If you see it higher, we advise to repeat the
flushing procedure till you bring salt consumption to the required level.

In order to prevent or overcome a potential air lock in the brine line
and pump: Insert the brine suction hose in to the brine container. Stop
the unit. There is a button on the front panel of the pump marked
100%. Press this button and hold it. You will see how brine starts
moving in the tubing. Wait till it fills up the whole tubing but most
important it goes through and beyond pump suction head. Release
the 100% button.
3) Check that the brine suction hose immersed in to the brine

container and get brine from bottom. (See Pic 3)
Control that brine concentration is at least 20%. Check that brine filter
is not clogged with impurities.
