Engelhard Chloropac Units

Proven In Offshore Use—

Free Brochure Available

More than 150 Chloropac® elec- trochlorination units have been sup- plied by Engelhard Corporation for offshore production platforms throughout the world. The ad- vanced Chloropac system is used when it is vital to insure that pro- cess seawater is free from fouling by marine organisms. Typical are wa- terflood applications where, unless preventive treatment is carried out, biological growth can become de- posited in the oil-bearing strata.

Protection of firefighting piping is another example.

The Chloropac system uses a pro- prietary electroytic cell design and metallic coating. This consists prin- cipally of two titanium pipes, one inside the other, with seawater flow- ing through the annular space be- tween them. By passing an electric current through the seawater, the sodium chloride contained in the water is converted to sodium hy- pochlorite—the active ingredient in fouling control. Every Chloropac unit is manufactured from standard designs to the individual specifica- tions of each client.
