Electrochlorinator

Electro chlorination is a simple and proven technology to convert ordinary salt water [or brine or seawater] into Sodium Hypochlorite by means of Electrolysis. It is produced and applied on-site. The device which uses this technology is named Electro chlorinator or Onsite Hypo Generator. Sodium Hypochlorite is universally accepted for combating slime, algae, and other Bio-organisms in Water. The most important aspect of Sodium Hypochlorite usage is its economy and effectiveness in killing bio-organisms thereby disinfecting water. Electro chlorinators find applications where Chlorine is not readily available or where operation with chlorine is not acceptable. Electro chlorinators, therefore, find application in Drinking Water Treatment, Cooling Water Treatment, Waste Water Treatment, Bleaching, Pharmaceutical formulations, and other industrial applications. The Industries that benefit includes Chemicals & Fertilizers, Refineries, Petrochemicals, Power Stations, Steel Plants, Cement Plants, Pharmaceutical Industries, Pesticide Industries, Food Industries, Dairy Industries, Textiles, Paper & Pulp Industries, Sugar Plants, Municipalities, Corporations, Townships, Water Boards, Theme Parks, Hotels, Apartment Complexes, Aquaculture Units, Bottling Plants, Swimming Pools, Hospitals, etc. Unicare Technologies markets a wide range of Chlorination Equipment & related accessories to cater to this requirement. Depending upon the mode of operation, Electro chlorinators are classified into two types namely Batch Production Electro chlorinators with capacity ranging from 15 gms/hr to 500 gms/hr and Continuous Production Electro chlorinators with capacity ranging from 15 gms/hr to 15 kgs/hr.

BATCH PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION
Batch Production Electro chlorinators are designed for small capacities and are available from 15 gms/hr to a capacity of 500 gms/hr chlorine equivalent, using our unique Multi-metallic Oxides Titanium Nobel Anodes and Electrochemical Process. Production of Sodium Hypochlorite is completed in a batch of every 8 hours, to a concentration of around 6-8 gms/liter.

OPERATION
A metered amount of water is mixed with common salt to form brine of the required concentration [or Seawater is used]. This is the electrolyte used in the process. Electrolyser Cells are dipped in this measured quantity of Brine Solution, contained in a specially made FRP Tank [Bisphenol Resin]. These cells are connected to a rectifier, which converts Alternate current to Direct Current. When DC current passes through these Titanium Anodes with MMO Coating, Sodium Hypochlorite evolves instantaneously with negligible quantities of hydrogen rising up to the surface, which is vented out. This process is based on the chemistry of Electrolysis of Sodium Chloride. The Sodium Hypochlorite thus generated is collected in a storage Tank and applied directly or pumped to the point of application.
