News: Seawater Electrochlorination Package for Marine Organism Anti‑fouling

In order to prevent sea creatures from sticking to seawater facilities, such as seawater pump, seawater piping, seawater tanks, etc., the seawater electrochlorination package is designed to produce sodium hypochlorite from seawater to protect related seawater facilities.

Seawater Electro‑chlorination System‑MGPS Working Details

A seawater booster pump delivers seawater with required velocity and pressure into the generator. After electrolysis, the seawater flows into degassing tanks.

Automatic strainers will be used to ensure that seawater conveyed to the cells contains only particles below 500 microns.

After electrolysis, the solution will be conveyed to degassing tanks to allow hydrogen to be dissipated by forced air dilution. Duty‑standby centrifugal blowers keep hydrogen concentration below 25% of LEL (1%).

The solution will be conveyed to the dosing point from the hypochlorite tanks via dosing pumps.

The formation of sodium hypochlorite in an electrochemical cell involves a combination of chemical and electrochemical reactions.

Other side reactions can take place, but practical operating conditions are selected to minimise their impact.

Sodium hypochlorite belongs to a group of powerful‑oxidation chemicals known as “active chlorine compounds” (also frequently referred to as “available chlorine”). These compounds deliver properties similar to chlorine while being comparatively safe for handling. The term active chlorine refers to chlorine released by dilute acid action within solution, and is defined as the equivalent chlorine mass that shares the same oxidising power as hypochlorite in liquid solution.

YANTAI JIETONG seawater electrolysis systems are widely applied in power plants, ships, vessels, drill rigs and other facilities that take seawater as working media.
