Investigation into the causes of leakage in individual cells of ion-exchange membrane electrolyzers

In the chlor-alkali plant’s electrolyzer, over the past six months, one particular electrolytic cell has frequently experienced fluid leakage. This occurs approximately once every two months. When we conduct membrane leak tests on the affected cells, no membrane leaks are detected. The ion-exchange membrane has been in use for three years now. Recently, we started adjusting the operating current based on peak and off-peak electricity rates. I would like everyone to discuss why leakage only occurs in this one electrolytic cell, as well as what might be the cause of such leakage Will wealth be given in return for a reply? ， ， -
Is it the gasket that has aged? Or local leakage and excessive heat due to conductivity can cause the gasket to age.
A similar situation occurred in one of our chlorine processing tanks as well; there are two units on the cathode side, and the tie rods were tightened after shutting down the tank. It has been operating for over a month now without any leaks
We’re experiencing corrosion leaks on the anode side; the cause is unknown. We suspect it’s a design issue with the tank frame
The leaks in the tanks at our factory occur irregularly. However, as you’ve pointed out, it’s definitely a problem related to the tank itself or its installation.
