Clorel® Applications

Seawater electrochlorination is an essential and environmentally friendly solution for biofouling control in seawater air conditioning (SWAC) systems. This method effectively prevents marine organism buildup in pipelines and heat exchangers, ensuring optimal system performance and energy efficiency.

Seawater ElectroChlorination is applied in power plants primarily to prevent biofouling in cooling water systems, ensuring uninterrupted flow and optimal heat exchange efficiency. It also offers a safe, on-site chlorine generation solution, eliminating the need for storage and handling of hazardous chemicals.

In seawater desalination plants, electrochlorination plays a vital role in the intake system by preventing biofouling from the earliest stage. By producing sodium hypochlorite on-site using the very seawater being treated, it ensures effective disinfection of intake structures and protects downstream components such as pre-treatment filters and reverse osmosis membranes. This not only extends membrane life and reduces cleaning frequency, but also ensures stable plant performance and long-term reliability.

In both LNG liquefaction and regasification terminals, seawater is widely used in auxiliary and process cooling systems. To prevent biofouling in seawater intake structures, pipelines, and heat exchangers, electrochlorination systems are applied to produce sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on-site through electrolysis of the incoming seawater.
