  • Publication number: 20180291514
    Abstract: A system for generating a chlorine-containing mixture comprises an anodic chamber comprising an anodic electrode and having an inlet for a first solution and an outlet for an anolyte solution. A cathodic chamber is spaced from and adjacent the anodic chamber in the system. The cathodic chamber comprises a cathodic electrode and has an inlet for a second solution and an outlet for a catholyte solution. The second solution may be the same as or different from the first solution, and at least one of the first and second solutions comprises a chlorinated solution. A membrane is disposed between and separates the anodic chamber and the cathodic chamber. The system further comprises a dilution chamber having an inlet for an aqueous solution and an outlet. Finally, the system comprises a mixing chamber, which has an outlet for the chlorine-containing mixture. The outlet of the dilution chamber is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20170088960
    Abstract: A system (10) for generating a chlorine-containing compound includes an anodic chamber (12), a cathodic chamber (20), and a brine chamber (30). The anodic chamber (12) includes an anodic electrode (14) and the cathodic chamber (20) includes a cathodic electrode (22). A membrane (28) separates the anodic and cathodic chambers (12), (20). The brine chamber (30) includes an anodic electrode (32) and a cathodic electrode (34). Concentration and type of the chlorine-containing compound can be selectively and consistently controlled by the system (10) in real time.
