Chlor-alkali industry, equipment

Titanium metal is especially utilized in environments of wet chlorine gas and bleaching solutions, ie, in the chlor— alkali industry and the pulp and paper industries, where titanium is used as anodes for chlorine production, chlorine—caustic scmbbers, pulp washers, and Cl2, C102, and HC104 storage and piping equipment (see Alkali and chlorine products Paper Pulp). 

Applications agricultural and construction equipment, trucks and buses (body panels), the chlor-alkali industry (electrolyzer cell covers or butterfly valves), containers (wastewater systems, waste containers, military boxes) ... 

In most chlor-alkali plants, the brine clarifier will be the largest piece of process equipment in terms of plot area. There are several methods used in the industry to reduce this area. These include the use of ... 

Glanor bipolar electrolyzers are a joint development of PPG Industries and Oronzio De Nora Impianti Elettrochimici S.p.A. The Glanor electrolyzer consists of several bipolar cells clamped between two end electrode assemblies by means of tie rods, thereby forming a filter press type electrolyzer (Fig. 35). The electrolyzer is equipped with DSA titanium anodes. Each electrolyzer normally consists of 11 or 12 cells. A lower number of cells can, however, be assembled in one electrolyzer. The Glanor electrolyzer was especially designed for large chlor-alkali plants.
