Chloropac Systems On HelWin1 & BorWin2
Nordic Yards in Germany has given Siemens Water Technologies the order for the delivery of two Siemens Chloropac hypochlorite generators. The Chloropac system prevents bio-fouling in cooling water systems in ships and offshore oil & gas platforms by producing hypochlorite by means of seawater electrolysation. The order is valued at over a million Euros. The systems will be used at the North Sea HelWin1 and BorWin2, HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) offshore converter stations.
Chloropac already has many applications in the oil & gas industry, including production platforms and floating production ships (FPSOs), as well as in energy plants and industrial complexes in coastal locations. Nowadays Chloropac systems are also deployed at a HVDC converter stations because of their proven reliability, user-friendly operation and low life-cycle costs.
Logistics
The Chloropac technology rules out any safety risks and the logistic burden usually associated with the use, storage and dosage of concentrated sodium hypochlorite solutions. The advanced annular electrolyser cell design in the Chloropac system creates so much turbulence that there is no need for cleaning the cells.
