SLM® Anode Grid Profile |
Industrie De Nora — continues toinvest in new advanced technology for mercury anodes. The Runner® technology had been the most advanced technology in the world.
Now introducing the SLM® anode
— the best performing anode ever produced for an amalgam technology cell.
SLM® anode
new grid characteristics (thin blade profile) and thermohydrodynamic baffles minimize bubble effect and renew electrolyte circulation even at high current density.
SLM® anode
installation gives advantages such as:
- Stable operation at very low inter-electrodic gap (especially if installed with new single-line frames and new ACPD)
- Power consumption reduction while keeping a high and constant faradic efficiency
0.030 K-factor point lower than Rod anodes
0.015 K-factor point lower than Runner® anodes
A minimum 0.025 – 0.030 K-factor point (depending on existing conditions) if installed with new single-line frames and new ACPD - Coating operating life of 5 years (approximately 400 - 500 tCl2/sqm of specific production) depending on cell operating conditions
- Higher resistance to short circuit which means lower number of repairs required
- Brine circuit cost reduction by reducing depleted brine concentration to 225 – 230 gpl
