  • Publication number: 20210371989
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for controlling the production of chlorate in electrolytic cells. The methods can produce a hypochlorite-containing solution having a chlorate to free available chlorine ratio of less than 0.1 by contacting a flow of a chloride-containing brine to an aqueous feed stream so as to give rise to an admixture. The disclosed technology also includes modulating at least one of the flow rate of the chloride-containing brine and the chloride concentration of the chloride-containing brine so as produce the hypochlorite-containing product solution.

  • Publication number: 20130037492
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for treating ballast water by chemical injection using an injector having a geometry that minimally obstructs the ballast water flow to accomplish homogeneous mixing of hypochlorite with the ballast water within a short distance. The injector is inexpensive and has a configuration that may be easily installed and maintained.

  • Publication number: 20070007146
    Abstract: In a process for producing sodium hypochlorite in an electrolytic cell comprises forming an aqueous based chloride solution with a chloride salt; controlling the concentration of chloride within the solution to an amount comprising less than 25 g/L chloride salt; piping the salt solution to the electrolytic cell, the electrolytic cell comprising an anode and a cathode, the cathode comprising a metallic base material, a first coating on the metallic base material and a second non-conductive ceramic coating on the metallic base material. The chloride solution is then in contact with the anodes and cathodes and an electric current is sent throughout the electrolytic cell to produce hypochlorite. During this process the electric current is controlled so that the power consumption is less than 2.5 kWh per pound of hypochlorite produced and the resulting cell efficiency comprises less than 2.5 kg of chloride salt consumed for every 1 kg of hypochlorite generated.
