Marine & Offshore Seawater Electrochlorination
The purpose of on-site generation of a sodium hypochlorite
solution from seawater is to economically and safely produce
this powerful biocide and disinfecting agent in offshore
applications. When injected into the cooling water circuits,
on-site generated sodium hypochlorite solution provides
efficient protection to the equipment against the growth
of organic fouling (micro and macro). This occurs without
the undesirable side effects of commercial hypochlorite
(such as the build up of hard deposits by reaction of
excess alkalinity with the substances dissolved in water)
or the safety hazard connected with the transportation,
storage and handling of chlorine gas. Because this technology
eliminates dependency upon outside suppliers and the heavy
costs of purchased commercial products, it finds application
in a broad spectrum of offshore facilities requiring
biofouling control of water systems.
