BENEFITS OF USING CATHODE OPTIMIZING SOLUTION
- Operate your chlor-alkali membrane cells and Water Electrolysis cells at the lowest energy consumption.
- Achieve “better than new” cathode voltage performance.
Activate all cathode components including:
• Fine cathode mesh
• Cushion and/or elastic cathode layers
• Coarse cathode mesh or louvers
More coated cathode surface means a lower voltage and more protection during outages since the cathode current density is lower.
Maintain consistent and peak cathode performance.
Recover performance from upsets (Fe fouling, loss of catalyst, etc).
Equilibrate the current density across the membrane to enhance membrane performance and life.
Cathode coating becomes a manageable and lower cost operating expense instead of a capital expense.
No need for off-site cathode coating, shipping and the associated expenses.
No downtime to recoat cathodes.
Minimal spare cathode requirements.
Achieve higher product output if presently rectifier limited.
No cathode warranty constraints/concerns.
Utilize longer life anode coatings as the cathode coating lifetime is no longer a constraint.
OTHER BENEFITS:
Lower hydrogen in the chlorine (zero gap cells)
Lower membrane temperature (zero gap cells)
Efficiency improvement (zero gap cells)
Return On Investment (ROI) occurs IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH and using COS is economically justified.
COS CORRECTS PROBLEMS SEEN IN ZERO GAP CELLS WHILE ALSO LOWERING THE VOLTAGE !
Zero Gap Cathodes which DO NOT use Cathode Optimizing Solution evolve H2 gas only on the fine mesh which causes Mass Transfer Limitations and Increased Membrane Temperature. This results in Loss of Current Efficiency and Higher H2 in Cl2.
