Envirolyte New Zealand’s ‘electrolysed water’ sanitiser ANK Neutral Anolyte offers unique and proven sanitation solutions with multiple approvals Providing broad spectrum, eco-friendly sanitation solutions. /envirolytenz www.envirolyte.co.nz Phone: (09) 622 4601 Email: info@envirolyte.co.nz Environmental sanitising, water and wastewater treatment MPI Approved - Biogro Certified Water Treatment Applications Cost effective Potable water treatment Comply with your discharge water requirements Eliminates and controls bio-film/algae in pipework systems Anti-microbial agent for known pathogens Hard Surface disinfection Atmospheric fogging Pre/post-harvest sanitation applications Psa Approved & recognised Safe to handle, store and use FT276 for use in the food processing, agriculture and horticulture industries. The only chemicals used in the production of ANK Neutral Anolyte are common salt (NaCl) and water, meaning it is eco-friendly, non-toxic and also safe to transport and store. It is also BioGro certified as organic. The active ingredient in ANK Neutral Anolyte is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL), which is produced by Envirolyte’s patented electrolytic process. However, unlike other chlorine-based products, the pH of ANK Neutral Anolyte is maintained and stable at around 7.0 – 7.5, which is when the chlorine ion is most effective. The result is a sanitation product that is many times more effective than hypochlorite, but breaks down to its original components (a mixture of salt at low levels and water) to the environment. ANK Neutral Anolyte is very effective against known pathogens (including bacteriophage, yeasts, moulds, fungus, mildews, listeria, salmonella and campylobacter), as well as against waterborne pathogens (including E.coli, coliforms, Legionnaires, staphylococcus, aureus, pseudomonas aug, Giardia and Cryptosporidium) and odours. What’s the difference? By producing stable concentrate solution of ANK Neutral Anolyte at a pH of 7.0-7.5, ANK Neutral Anolyte can be stored for up to six months from time of manufacture without a degradation of its sanitation properties. Having Hypochlorus acid (HOCL) at its optimum 7.0-7.5pH means the product performs extremely well in the presence of organic matter and, unlike other methods of sanitation, ANK Neutral Anolyte doesn’t dissipate rapidly and is soluble in water – this means far less system biofilm and a better residual FAC. Though a strong oxidant, the ANK Neutral Anolyte applied at low usage rates will reduce potential corrosion effects compared to other chemistry, and it is approved and recognised for local and export markets. Envirolyte NZ’s leading-edge technology means customers’ sanitation solutions are onsite and in a safe fashion that will comply with onsite health and safety expectations. The cost to manufacture the ANK Neutral Anolyte solution is extremely viable, and can serve not only as a post-harvest sanitiser but as a hard surface sanitiser, resulting in a better return on investment. From potable water treatment to hard surface disinfection, atmospheric fogging or odour control, the team at Envirolyte NZ has a turn-key sanitation solution for your business.
