Structure and Features:
(1) Structure:
The Ballast water titanium electrode is specifically designed for use in ballast water treatment systems on marine vessels. Made of grade 1 titanium, it provides excellent corrosion resistance in seawater environments. The electrode consists of two main components - the titanium substrate and the mixed metal oxide coating.
The titanium substrate has a mesh-like structure that maximizes surface area. It is made by sintering high-purity titanium powder into a porous network. The high surface area allows for efficient electrochemical reactions during electrolysis of seawater. The mesh structure also allows for low flow resistance as water passes through the electrode.
On top of the titanium substrate, a thin coating of mixed metal oxide is applied using thermal decomposition. This coating is a proprietary blend optimized for chlorine generation. It typically contains oxides of ruthenium, iridium, tin, and other electrocatalysts. The coating significantly lowers overpotential and improves activation kinetics for the electrolytic reactions. This results in efficient chlorine generation at low voltages.
The mesh electrodes are assembled into modules to be installed into electrolytic cells. Quality checks are performed to ensure mechanical integrity as well as electrical conductivity. The electrodes are durable and can withstand high flow rates. Special attention is paid to sealing and electrical connections.
