HOCL GENERATION
Our AQUAOX advanced electrolysed water (HOCL) generators are designed to produce powerful
disinfectants and surfactants onsite, with the simple electrolysis of water and salt. Whether your
organisation is looking for a standalone generator or an integrated solution, our automated
electrolyzed water generators offer unparalleled flexibility and efficiency.
Naturama offers two distinct AQUAOX electrolysed water generators, the EA and the EC systems. Each
machine is meticulously engineered to meet the unique needs of your disinfection programme,
providing safe and cost-effective cleaning and sanitation solutions. Other options such as our MOW
HOCL generator address water system treatment and industrial applications.
Naturama AQUAOX-EA-Systems are complete Plug & Play Systems that basically only need to
be connected to a power source, water, and an ethernet-connection to start automatic
remotely controlled production of ELECTROLYZED WATER.
A programmable logic system (PLC) controls all processes required to consistently produce
cleaning & sanitising solutions with controlled constant quality. This system is easy to manage,
is fully automated and yet can be manually adjusted. Our engineers can remotely monitor,
adjust, and respond to any issues meaning down-time is minimal, ensuring full productivity.
Naturama H-500 is pre-set at 500ppm with the systems output pipe connected to whatever
storage system you specify to then decant into Black Naturama H-500 Ready To Use (RTU)
containers such as 750ml trigger sprays, 5 litre, 25 litre up to 1000 litre IBC bulk containers.
Naturama Aquaox EA-Systems are fully automated stand-alone mobile HOCL generators that include
one or more electrolytic cells as well as ancillary equipment such as water softener, filters, a pressure
reducing valve, a flow regulator, brine container, collecting tanks for the two by-products of electrolysis,
the Anolyte Naturama H-500 and a Catholyte which is used as a cleaning agent. Other measurement
equipment is fitted to remotely monitor the quality and quantity of your on-site produced HOCL,
connected to your internet service.

AQUAOX EC Systems
A programmable logic computer (PLC) controls all processes required to produce Naturama
500ppm HOCL cleaning and sanitizing solutions, with totally consistent quality. If one of the
parameters is not within the pre-set limits, the PLC will activate an alarm and will
immediately attempt to readjust that parameter.
Naturama Aquaox EC-systems are remotely controlled by our call centre. A trained operator
is then able to always monitor the performance of the system. The result is that service,
maintenance, and operation of the system can be done without a physical operator. The
user of the system can be assured that HOCL self-generated cleaning and sanitizing solutions
produced onsite are of consistently quality to pre-set parameters.

Our Electrolysis technology
Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA) is the generation of safe, effective, environmentally friendly
disinfectants and cleaners by passing ordinary water containing dissolved sodium chloride through an
electrolytic cell.
Traditional electrolysis cells are only capable of generating small volumes of unstable, low pH oxidized
water and the formation of hypochlorite (bleach).
AQUAOX™ utilises electrolytic cells where the anode chamber is separated by a unidirectional permeable
membrane from the cathode chamber. This allows migration and separation of the ions to prevent the
production of gaseous chlorine (CL2) while generating large volumes of neutral pH HOCL that is highly
biocidal but has a very low chemical load as compared to Sodium hypochlorite.
How It Works
Ordinary tap water containing a low concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) is passed through an
electrolysis chamber containing an anode (positive electrode) and cathode (negative electrode) that is
separated by a unidirectional, permeable diaphragm.
Positive ions (cations) are drawn towards the cathode where they receive electrons from the electron-rich
cathode to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a cleaning fluid with the ability to reduce bacteria and
pathogens.
At the anode, negative ions (anions) are attracted and surrender their additional electrons to the
electron-depleted anode to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCL), a powerful disinfecting fluid which has
superior germicidal, biocidal and sporicidal properties that can eliminate pathogens such as Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureaus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), Human
Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1), and numerous other health threats.
Stability
Several parameters can be measured to establish the shelf life of AQUAOX system generated Naturama H-500
HOCL. These include pH, ORP, EC, salinity and FAC (Free available chlorine).
The Free Active Chlorine (FAC) of most generated HOCL’s are unstable and easily evaporates from the water
causing an immediate, strong chlorine smell and complicating short-life storage, transport, and usage issues.
