Abstract:
1. An apparatus to produce a disinfecting solution to treat a fluid, said apparatus comprising: at least one cell, said cell comprising at least two electrodes wherein at least one electrode comprises at least one cathode and at least one electrode comprises at least one anode; a control circuit for providing an electrical potential between at least one of said at least one cathode and at least one of said at least one anode, wherein said control circuit is in electrical contact with said at least one cathode and said at least one anode; electrolyte for placement in said cell wherein said electrical potential causes a controlled electrical charge to pass through an electrolytic solution from said at least one cathode to said at least one anode, thereby generating at least one oxidant in the electrolyte; an energy source in electrical contact with said control circuit wherein said control circuit delivers an electrical charge; a headspace within said electrolytic cell to accumulate at least one generated gas under pressure for a purpose of utilizing the generated gas pressure to expel contents of said cell after electrolysis; an inlet port for introduction of the electrolyte; and an outlet port to allow discharge of electrolyzed oxidant through said outlet port.
