Sterilizing Micro-Organisms

Add comments

The most efficient, organic method of killing micro-organisms and sterilizing surfaces is dependent on three things: the oxygen reduction potential (ORP), the pH and the action of free active chlorine, which disrupts the membrane potential of organelles, and inhibits their breathing and energy metabolism. They can no longer feed, metabolize, breed or mutate. The result is that the pathogen dies. It cannot sustain itself when its outer membrane has been penetrated. Once the outer membrane has lost its integrity, the fat and protein in the cell is decomposed by the free active chlorine.

Micro-organisms are dependent on certain conditions to thrive and reproduce. They like pH 3 to 10. They also like an ORP of-400 to +900 mV. Electrolyzed water can be produced with a pH of 2.7 or less and an ORP of +1000 mV which produce conditions that are extremely harsh to the survival of micro-organisms and their spores.

Despite its strong acidity, electro-chemically activated (ECA) water is safe for skin, causing no adverse affects when contact with this ECA water happens. The magic of this electro-chemistry is that it is effective against a wide range of antibiotic and chlorine resistant micro-organisms and prevents mutation for these organisms to become resistant.

In the past, when infections were treated, some of the organism may have survived and their offspring developed a resistance to the treating agent. Adaptation  is the hallmark of survival. ECA water leaves no wiggle room for survival. Once the microorganism is contacted, its cell wall is compromised, even if it is a spore. There is no other recourse for it, but to die, the chance for mutation is gone.

The ECA solutions are fast acting, broad spectrum, highly effective anti-microbial agents that are non-irritating and non-toxic to humans, animals, fish and plants, are virtually odorless and environmentally friendly that virtually eliminate the need to use costly reagents and toxic chemicals. These solutions also improve the quality and sterility of treated surfaces, waters, produce, meats, poultry and fish. The process of sterilization is simplified to the point that there is an immediate decrease in labour intensity and a dramatic increase in cost saving.

This particular sterilization process begins with an electro-chemical activation of water with a diluted brine solution in the feed water. The resulting solution is a concentrate with a specific pH range suited for the purpose in which it is intended, whether it is a microbial sterilant or an engine degreaser or anything in between.

When the concentrate is injected into the water reticulation system, the solution becomes an activated with the three attributes mentioned above, specific, pH and ORP, in addition to varying concentrations of free active chlorine. This unstoppable mix will look after all your remediation needs with regards to contamination by micro-organisms, even internally, inside the body.
