CRESTON Electrichlor - Hypochlorite Generation System
Creston Water Solutions introduces the Electrichlor Hypochlorite Generation System, an advanced technology designed for municipal water and wastewater treatment applications. Utilizing an all-titanium electrolyzer cell, this system eliminates common issues associated with plastic components, such as embrittlement and leaks. Operators can optimize hypochlorite concentration levels between 0.4% and 0.8%, allowing for cost-effective and efficient chlorine production. The system's adaptability with alternative water and chloride sources, like secondary effluent or desalination reject brine, cuts disinfection costs. When demand spikes, production can temporarily increase by 30%. Designed for minimal maintenance, the system reduces scaling, providing longer intervals between cleanings and prolonging anode life, offering a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership over a 10-year period. Creston's technology addresses diverse industry needs, including wastewater, power generation, refineries, chemical plants, and municipal water systems.
Our unique, patented, all-titanium electolyzer cell has been proven in the world’s toughest environments around the globe and now offers unparalleled reliability to municipal water and wastewater plants.
Our cell design and optimized operating parameters result in unique benefits that improve safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for our customers.
No cracks, no leaks. All-titanium electrolyzer cell.
The unique design of our cell utilizes the cathode assembly as housing, eliminating the use of acrylic, clear PVC or other plastics that experience embrittlement and cracking over time, which leads to leaks, increased maintenance expenses, lower productivity and risk of operator exposure to hypochlorite.
Fine tune the system to minimize cost.
The Electrichlor cell design allows operators to choose a hypochlorite concentration setpoint between 0.4% and 0.8% to either minimize operating cost (0.4%) or maximize strength (0.8%). Furthermore, once the concentration setpoint is fixed, operating parameters can be adjusted to provide the lowest operating cost by minimizing either salt or power consumption.
Make hypochlorite with secondary effluent and desalination reject brine.
When operating at 0.4% hypochlorite strength, the Electrichlor cell allows for the use of alternative water sources such as municipal secondary effluent, and alternative chloride sources such as desalination reject brine without sacrificing efficiency or output. This is possible thanks to the combination of reduced scaling and greater electrode spacing. This flexibility enables wastewater treatment plants to significantly reduce their cost of disinfection.
Increase capacity on-the-fly to meet unexpected chlorine demand peaks.
When operating at 0.4% hypochlorite production, the Electrichlor cell can be operated at production rates 30% above the rated capacity to respond to a sudden increase in chlorine demand. While the salt efficiency drops under these operating conditions, it enables wastewater plants to quickly respond to plant upsets or changing water quality without the need for more or larger equipment.
Less cleaning; happier operators.
When operating at 0.4% hypochlorite production, the Electrichlor cell minimizes scaling rates, resulting in much longer intervals without cleaning, which reduces overall maintenance cost and improves the reliability of the plant.
10 year anode life; lower cost of ownership.
When operating at 0.4% hypochlorite production, the Electrichlor cell experiences a much slower anode coating degradation, which results in an unparalleled 10-year anode warranty.
