HYCHLORATOR is an equipment designed to produce hypoclorite through the direct electrolysis of
seawater. In general, the seawater is regard as a 3% brine of approximate PH 8.
Therefore, the seawater is direct electrolyzed in the following reaction:
?Anode r eac t i on?
2Cl
-
? Cl2+2e
-
?Cat hode r eac t i on?
2Na

+ 2H2O + 2e
-
? 2NaOH + H2
?Reac t i on i n el ec t r ol ysi s c el l ?
2NaOH + Cl2 ? NaCl + NaClO + H2O
?Tot al r eac t i on?
NaCl + H2O + 2F ? NaClO + H2?

Electro-chlorination plant aims to prevent the
deposition of marine organism such as barnacle, sea
mussel and other shellfishes in the cooling water
system, by directly electrolyzing seawater, without
using any chemicals.
DAIKI ATAKA has constructed more than 220 of our
electro-chlorination plants (DAIKI HYCHLORATOR) in
all over the world for power plants, LNG plants,
desalination plants and various other plants along
coastal industrial zone.

1) Seawat er suppl y uni t
The seawater sent by a circulating pump, at first, gets the solids in it removed by a strainer, and is
sent to an electrolyzer.
2) El ec t r ol yzer and DC power suppl y
The seawater is directly electrolyzed in the electrolyzer, to produce sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen

gas.
3) Dehydr ogenat i ng uni t
The seawater gets the hydrogen in it removed by a dehydrogen drum for release into open air, and
the remaining seawater containing sodium hypochlorite is injected into any intended place such as an
intake.
Since the generation of sodium hypochlorite is proportional to the DC current supplied to the
electrolyzer, it can be speedily, safety and accurately controlled by adjusting the DC current.

Chlorine generation capacity of the unit depend on the cell's Model No. and numbers.
For example
15BL6-4 (6 tiers/cell, 4 cells in the unit) can generate 10X4=40kg/h ,
25BL8-4 (8 tiers/cell, 4 cells in the unit) can generate 37X4=148kg/h
