The concentric tubular electrode (CTE) is a
design innovation that has significantly
improved the Sodium Hypochlorite generation
process. In this design, there are two tubes
placed one inside the other, and the seawater
flows between thetwo tubes.Theouterand the
inner tubes act as Anode and Cathode
alternately. This design of electrochlorinator
has eliminated the problems faced by the
otherwise popularParallel Plate design.
The seawater flows through the annular space
between the outer and inner tubes. The flow is
horizontal and at a higher velocity. The sea
water that flows inside the tubes does not
encounter any sharp corners or gaps or areas
of low flow, which would otherwise induce
deposition of calcium or magnesium salts
resulting in the formation of scales.
Sodium Hypochlorite is a strong disinfectant
that kills all the pathogens which lead to water
borne diseases like cholera, typhoid,
paratyphoid etc. Our system also leaves some
residual Sodium Hypochlorite in water to
prevent bacteria from getting picked up
during storage or redistribution. |
