The Ballast water titanium electrode is a state-of-the-art electrode used in ballast water treatment systems. It is designed to effectively disinfect and treat the ballast water to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens. The electrode is made of high-quality titanium material, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance.
The entry of aquatic invasive organisms into nonlocal waters through ballast water is a serious challenge for the entire maritime industry. Taijin Xinneng ballast water treatment technology provides reliable treatment solutions for new and modified ships, which can comply with the strictest ballast water regulations in the world.
The Titanium electrode for ballast water disinfection utilizes electrochemical reactions to effectively treat ballast water. It generates oxidizing chemicals, such as chlorine, when an electric current is applied. These chemicals actively kill or remove harmful microorganisms from the water, ensuring the ballast water is clean and safe before discharge.
Generating NaClO through electrolysis of seawater to disinfect ship ballast water and prevent microbial contamination caused by drainage from different sea areas.
The electrode's chemical reactions generate chlorine and other oxidizing chemicals, which have strong disinfection properties. These chemicals effectively kill bacteria, microorganisms, and other pathogens present in the ballast water.

(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.
