FEM-1 àlow-through electrochemical module cell. FEM-1 module was developed
by V. M.Bakhir and Yu. G. Zadorozhny in 1989, and its first models were made
and tested in the same year. FEM-1 module played an important role in developing
a new approach to engineering and technology for producing electrochemically
activated water and solutions. It was not widely used in industry due to complexity
of collector head manufacture and a number of problems associated with the formation
of bi-polar segments of cathode electrode surface, but indicated an optimal
principal way of de-veloping commercial electrochemical systems. Combined with
the auxiliary electro-lyte capacity operated under elevated pressure FEM -1
module was firstly employed in the first modification of STEL-ÌÒ-1 device meant
for producing washing, disinfectant and sterilizing solution - anolyte of neutral
ðÍ value. Development of the device was carried out in conformity with Russian
Health Ministry assignment: it started in Octo-ber 1990, and was completed in
June 1992. The diagram was later described in the British patent GB 2 253 860.
Preparation for the development of STEL-ÌÒ-1 device consisting in working out
and full-scale production of FEM-1 module had been per-formed at the VNIIIMT
MZ RF by V.M.Bakhir and Yu.G. Zadorozhny since1989.

Electrochemical unit of STEL-ÌÒ-1 device.
The device's electrochemical reactor consists of one FEM-1
cell. In 1990, STEL-ÌÒ-1 device was approved by the USSR Ministry of Health
for commercial manufacture and wide application in medical facilities.
The device's output is 20 l/h of neutral anolyte (AN), consumed electric
power is 100 W
