Benefits of technology

This patent describes how to make a strong antimicrobial solution called HOCl that contains high amounts of chlorine dioxide (up to 1% by weight) without also containing large quantities of sodium salt or any other unwanted substances like bromides or iodides. These results are achieved through a process called electrolysis, which involves combining two different types of electrical currents with certain chemicals in order to create specific products. By controlling these conditions during the electrolysis process, researchers have been able to create highly effective cleaning agents that can kill harmful microbes while being safe and easy to use.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the lack of reliable and high-quality electrochemical generators of stable disinfectant aqueous solutions with sufficient concentration of HOCl to effectively kill spores. Existing systems often fail to meet consistent quality standards or reliability issues.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system for the manufacture of antimicrobial electrolyte solutions comprising hypochlorous acid (HOCl) for use as a bactericide, viricide and / or sporicide. The antimicrobial electrolyte solutions comprising hypochlorous acid (HOCl) can also be used where the oxidation of chemical compounds in addition to, or alternatively to, antimicrobial action is required. For example, in industries such as the oil and gas industry, the antimicrobial electrolyte solutions will reduce or eliminate hydrogen sulfide as well as microbes when used for well, storage tanks, or pipeline treatment. The system can employ one or more electrolysis cells. Appropriate electrolysis cells are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,374,645 or U.S. Pat. No. 7,691,249, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. The size of the connector (tap) on the anode of the cell is advantageously large for the surface area of the anode allowing a very uniform application of th...

Abstract

A system to prepare an antimicrobial solution by the electrolysis of brine is presented where the antimicrobial solution is a solution comprising HOCl that contains a HOCl concentration of 100 ppm or more at a pH of approximately 6.5. The system includes an electrolysis cell that is provided with a constant current by a digital DC power supply controlled by a microprocessor and a controlled brine concentration at a controlled rate, which can also be controlled by the microprocessor to deliver a fluid that is continuously observed by a pH probe and an ORP probe that provides input to the microprocessor to adjust voltage, pump rate and/or flow rate in a programmed manner by the microprocessor. A method to produce the antimicrobial solution, including a sporicidal solution, by the novel system is presented.
