Scale in the brine entering the electrolyzer blocks the brine inlet manifold
Thread Content
In our company, scale deposits in the brine used for electrolysis have blocked the brine distribution manifolds; this issue also occurs in the fresh brine tanks. The solid substances were sent to a university laboratory for analysis, and the components identified were hexachloroethane, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and octachloropropane. These solids appear to be precipitates, as a thick layer of the same substance was also found on the back side of the filters used to feed the electrolysis cells, and it had a milky white color
It would be better to be able to see images, as it makes communication easier.
How do such substances get in?
What is the process of once-salt water? In a previous use of saline, the Dow clarifier tank process was employed, and sodium polyacrylate was used as the flocculant, which often leads to this situation!
