Abstract

This invention relates to an electrochemical activation system adapted for production, and particularly on-site production, of separable and both of an aqueous, mixed oxidant, predominantly anion-containing solution and an aqueous, mixed reductant, predominantly cation-containing solution. The ECA system is characterised therein that it includes at least one electrolytic cell exchange module designed for accommodating one or more electrolytic cells therein, the electrolytic cell exchange module being removably arranged within the ECA system and characterised in either being disposable or reusable within the ECA system. The invention also extends to an electrolytic cell exchange module suitable for use within the system.
