Electrochlorination Technology

Electrochlorination (EC) is the process of producing sodium hypochlorite on site

using salt water and electricity. EC system is required to maintain a reliable and
efficient operation by preventing biofouling from occurring in the process water
circuits and cooling water systems. The application of EC system is in Offshore
Platforms, FPSOs, Refineries, LNG Terminals, Petrochemical Plants, Power Plants,
Desalination Plants, Chemical Plants, Vessels and Tankers.

Electrochlorination Technology
Electrochlorination process by electrolysis method employ a direct current (DC)
electrical supply, providing the energy to discharge the ions from the electrolyte (salt
solution). The electrochemical reaction result in free chloride being generated at the
anode, while hydrogen and sodium hydroxides are release at the cathode. These two
substances react with each other to form sodium hypochlorite solution, an oxidantdisinfectant.

Concentric Tube Electrolyzer

The Concentric Tube Electrolyzer is designed for the efficient electrochemical
conversion of seawater salt to sodium hypochlorite. Each electrolyzer module
consists of a number of titanium concentric tube anode/cathode pairs connected in a
bi-polar assembly to produce a dilute NaOCl solution.

Features and Benefits

Continuous, flexible, and safe
operation.
Self-cleaning electrodes no
acid cleaning
Easy maintenance
Proven anode coating
technology
Corrosion resistant materials
Precision manufacturing
Proven system integrity

Parallel Plate Electrolyzer

The Parallel Plate Electrolyzer is designed to cater for a higher capacity requirement
of sodium hypochlorite solution in a compact footprint. This process yields the
desired sodium hypochlorite concentration (typically 1500-2000 ppm) efficiently and
economically.
