Power drived Rectifier controlled by Thyristors
the best reliable solution for Industrial electro chlorination station.
In electro chloration systems, conversion of electrical energy into direct current is essential. Power rectifier thyristors, proposed by metal, is the solutions for industrial rectifiers used for this application, ensuring performance, reliability and energy management for optimum efficiency.
Why use a thyristor in Electro chlorination?
Electro chlorination involves producing chlorine by electrolysis of seawater (available near the sites). This process is particularly performed for the treatment of seawater used for cooling networks in power plants (nuclear or thermal plants). This process requires a stable direct current supply able to propose very high currents in heavy duty condition (salt laden atmosphere and humidity).
Thyristor is a power semiconductor and in a bridge rectifer configuration it allows alternative form current to be converted into stable direct current. The system can provide a perfect controlled generated power according to the plant and production's needs. immediately available for the maintenance of each station of your specific processing lines .
This type of application offered many advantages as.
- Precise control and management of current via gate control .
- Excellent resistance to electrical and thermal overloads.
- Long life duration, thanks to100% static equipment.
Reduction of energy losses whitch are always negative for production rate and profit.
proposed by THEMATRONIC are carefully selected, tested, and if necessary reassociated according to strict procedures, in order to assume their optimal use.
Constitution/Structure of a Thyristor Rectifier for electro chlorination.
A typical system generally consists of:
- Power low voltage transformer
- Thyristor rectifier bridge (three -phase or multiple three -phase).
- Control and regulation unit (for power management)
- Air or liquid cooling unit.
- Electrical networks with integrated protections (fuses, varistors, and surge protection systems)
The whole allows Finely control the intensity of the current electrolysis, essential for continuous and economical chlorine production.
One of our recent applications.
In a water treatment plant, a 80000 DC Amp electro chlorination cell units powered by thyristor rectifiers, with integrated controlled regulation. The system's efficiency exceeds 95%, with reduced maintenance thanks to the well-sized new generation of power Semiconductors devices supplied by Thematronic.
