  • Publication number: 20240003020
    Abstract: Electrochemical device for producing biocide solutions A device for producing biocidal solutions comprising a flow through undivided electrochemical cell for electrochemically activating an electrolyte to produce an electrochemically activated solution which is biocidal, the electrochemical cell having an anode and a cathode, wherein the separation between the anode and the cathode is less than 3.0 mm and the electrochemical cell having a capacity to hold no more than 20 ml of electrolyte within the electrochemical cell.

  • Publication number: 20130236569
    Abstract: There is provided an automated electrochemical device for generating a biocidal output solution, said device comprising: a flow-through electrochemical cell comprising an anodic chamber and a cathodic chamber for electrolysing an electrolyte to generate an anolyte solution and a catholyte solution; characterised in that the device further comprises: (i) a reservoir for storing catholyte; and (ii) a hydraulic circuit for recirculating catholyte from the reservoir to the anolyte on start-up of the cell, wherein input of catholyte of a compensating strength to the cell anodic chamber, is arranged so as to optimise the cell anolyte pH to produce a stable output solution at the start of the electrolysis process.

  • Patent number: 6580961
    Abstract: A closed loop controller (6) has a measurement server (11) which captures measurement data from a measurement machine (3) via a link (22). It also receives production data indicating which placement machine parts were involved in depositing inspected items, via links (20, 21). The server (11) correlates this data and transmits it via a link (23) to a closed loop client (10), which generates process engineer displays of the correlated data and generates a control signal for the placement machine (2). These are fed back via a link (24) for automatic closed loop control.
