Cumberland Electrochemical is at the cutting edge of
electro-chlorination plant design and manufacture. Their products
are used across a wide range of industries for the treatment of
large quantities of water to prevent biofouling.
The World-renowned ‘PANCLOR™’ brand of electrolysers
and systems are installed in hundreds of locations throughout the
World. Their new generation cell technology is the culmination of
our dedication to continuing product development, engineering
excellence and quality assurance.
Cumberland is dedicated to quality and environmental awareness.
Their quality systems are accredited as meeting the requirements of
ISO 9001:2000.
Cumberland's PANCLOR™ Technology
Cumberland
has been at the forefront of electrochemical cell design for over 50
years. From our original and unique 'Rotaclor' cells, many of which
are still in operation after 20 years of life, to our tubular system
known as 'ElClor' and through to initial launch of the 'Panclor™'
system in 1989, Cumberland have invested heavily in research and
development and product improvement programmes culminating in the
new generation of PANCLOR™ electrolysers and systems.
The PANCLOR™ electrolyser is the heart of any PANCLOR system,
Each electrolyser consists of a series of electrolytic cells,
typically 10 cells in series arranged as a multi-fingered bipole,
the number of fingers in each cell specifically sized for the output
capacity of the electrolyser.
The electrodes are mounted in a carrier, which is housed in a
tubular PVC body. Sufficient potential is applied to the
electrolyser terminal connections to induce current flow through the
cells. The carrier prevents stray current flow ensuring maximum
efficiency. All fasteners used for the carrier assembly and the
umbilical connections are of titanium construction.
Each PANCLOR™ electrolyser is connected in hydraulic series and
the cells in electrical series. Inter electrolyser connections are
manufactured from solid copper. The PANCLOR™ electrolysers operate
normally under constant seawater flow rate. The DC current applied
to the cells is adjusted to control the chlorine output of the unit
so as to instantaneously match the treatment requirements.
The PANCLOR™ electrolyser is configured utilising the lowest
current density and energy consumption in the industry. Most PANCLOR
systems operate at below 4.0 kWh/kg of active chlorine with many
achieving 3.5kWh/kg.
