SEACLOR

Australia Electrochlorination Water Treatment

POGC Senor Technology is the distributor in Australia for the Severn Trent De Nora Electrochlorination Water Treatment systems, the SEACLOR® systems. It is used for the on-site generation of sodium hypochlorite solution, via the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution (seawater).

SEACLOR systems range in capacity from 500 to 64,000 lb/day (10 to 1,200 kg/hr), per train. SEACLOR systems have demonstrated reliable, economic and low maintenance operation in numerous industrial installations throughout the world.

SEACLOR is the preferred electrochlorination system widely used in power station, desalination plants, water treatment plants, as well as in the coastal industry.

By controlling the fouling of steam condensers, the efficiency of power generation can be significantly increased. In a typical 250 MW coal-fired power station, an increase of 0.2 inches of mercury in condenser back pressure, due to fouling, will cost the utility approximately $US250,000 annually in fuel and replacement power costs.

In a desalination plant, SEACLOR systems are designed to prevent the fouling of equipment, due to the growth of marine organisms when seawater is processed, to produce portable water through multiple flash distillations.

Other applications include those in the coastal industry, such as chemical plants, refinery, LNG production facilities and steel mills that use seawater as a coolant in heat exchangers. Maintenance costs are lowered considerably by avoiding the dismantling and mechanical cleaning of the heat exchangers and other equipment which comes in contact with seawater.
