ECA Disinfection Solutions

ECA water (Electrochemically Activated water) is a simple, proven and sustainable choice to improve production processes, working environment and to reduce the environmental footprint (ESG). The technology uses electricity and saltwater to produce a powerful, non-toxic disinfectant that is safe for people and the environment while being highly effective against bacteria, viruses, and biofilm. It supports surface disinfection, equipment sanitation, and water treatment without the need for hazardous chemicals.

The human immune system naturally produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl) inside white blood cells as one of its strongest weapons against invading bacteria and viruses. ECA technology replicates this same process: by splitting salt and water with electricity, it produces HOCl in a safe, controlled way. The result is a DISINFECTANT + DETERGENT that is both powerful and natural.

Advantages overview

• Suppresses and removes biofilm in tanks, pipes and filters.

• Reduces bacteria and viruses in process water.

• Leaves no harmful residue – reverts back to water and salt

• Produced easily on-site from water, salt and electricity - no storage or transport

• Multifunctional: applicable for water, surfaces, equipment and general hygiene

• Safer working environment – no hazard labels, no protective equipment required

• Reduces chemical costs to almost nothing

We recommend the following ECA units tailored to your setup:

• ECA Renew: Compact and user-friendly, this unit is ideal for use with the Laboratory Setup. It ensures frequent and effective disinfection of lab surfaces and tools in smaller-scale environments.

• ECA Active Plus: Designed for medium-scale operations, such as VALUEFARM Containers and Nursery Units, this unit provides reliable, routine disinfection and supports hygienic operation in commercial seaweed production facilities.

• ECA Aquaox EA30: This high-capacity solution is perfect for our VALUEFARM Towers and other large-scale or industrial operations. It supports continuous cleaning and water treatment needs at scale, helping to maintain optimal conditions in high-volume systems.

All recommended ECA systems are plug-and-play and designed for ease of use, low maintenance, and maximum efficiency — making them a valuable part of any land-based cultivation system.

Because ECA is food approved and does not require rinsing before food handling, it can be used safely around harvested biomass and processing areas. It is also suitable for daily disinfection on office and facility surfaces.
