Project-specific DC power for sodium hypochlorite and on-site chlorine generation
Electrochlorination systems depend on stable and controllable DC power to support reliable sodium hypochlorite production.
plating electronic develops project-specific transformer rectifier (TR) systems for electrochlorination, on-site chlorine generation and on-site hypochlorite generation applications.
Based on the electrical performance data and technical parameters provided by the customer or system integrator, we engineer the transformer rectifier unit around the requirements of the EC package, installation environment and control system.
Power systems engineered around the EC package
Every electrochlorination installation has its own electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements.
The required current and voltage, cooling method, installation location, enclosure design and control interfaces all influence the configuration of the transformer rectifier system.
plating electronic supports customers and system integrators with product-related engineering for the complete transformer rectifier, including:
- SCR transformer rectifier technology
- oil-cooled or water-cooled configurations
- project-specific enclosure design
- control and communication interfaces
- technical documentation
- coordination of product-related integration requirements
- commissioning
- service and spare-parts support
The customer or system integrator defines the required process performance and application parameters. Based on this information, plating electronic engineers the power system for integration into the overall electrochlorination package.
For onshore, offshore, indoor and outdoor environments
Electrochlorination systems are used in a wide range of installation environments, from industrial plants and power stations to onshore and offshore facilities.
The transformer rectifier system can be adapted to the environmental and mechanical requirements of the individual project.
Depending on the project specification, possible configurations include:
- indoor or outdoor installation
- enclosure protection up to IP66
- NEMA 4X enclosure options for relevant US projects
- ambient temperatures up to 50 °C
- stainless-steel construction
- C5-M protective coating
- oil cooling or water cooling
- customer-specific materials and coating systems
The exact design is selected according to the installation conditions and the technical requirements supplied by the customer.
Engineering for Zone 1 and Zone 2 requirements
Electrochlorination packages may be installed in environments with hazardous-area requirements.
plating electronic can engineer project-specific transformer rectifier systems for installation requirements associated with Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments.
The exact IECEx or ATEX requirements, certification scope and responsibilities must be defined for each project. Depending on the project structure, this may involve the complete transformer rectifier unit, the enclosure, individual components or coordination with the certification process for the overall EC package.
Because certification requirements vary according to the installation location, gas group, temperature class, protection concept and system configuration, these conditions must be clarified at the beginning of the project.
Stable DC output for the electrochlorination process
The power system must supply the electrical performance required by the EC package while
supporting reliable process operation.
Project-specific SCR systems can be designed as 12-pulse configurations with ripple values of up to 3.5%. Lower ripple values may be achievable by using additional smoothing equipment, depending on the project requirements.
System efficiency of up to 95% may be possible, depending on factors such as:
- operating point
- transformer design
- output voltage and current
- cooling concept
- system configuration
- installation conditions
All performance values are evaluated and confirmed for the individual project.
Controls and interfaces
The transformer rectifier unit can be configured with industrial controls and communication interfaces to support integration into the EC package and the plant control environment.
Depending on the project, the scope may include:
- local operation
- remote control
- fieldbus communication
- operating and fault signals
- alarms and interlocks
- emergency shutdown interfaces
- customer-specific communication protocols
- coordination with the package control system
The final control concept is defined together with the customer or system integrator.
Support throughout the product lifecycle
Service is part of the solution.
plating electronic supports the transformer rectifier system with:
- product-related engineering
- technical documentation
- coordination with the customer or system integrator
- commissioning
- troubleshooting
- maintenance
- repairs
- spare parts
- long-term lifecycle support
