PORT-A-CHLOR 8600

Portable Electrolytic Chlorine Generator (PECG)

Features:

General Description:

The PORT-A-CHLOR 8600 is a portable electrolytic chlorine generator designed to provide point-of-use protection against bio-fouling in marine equipment. A smaller, portable version of our Model 7600 ECOLCELL chlorine generator, the PORT-A-CHLOR 8600 is for applications where larger systems are not feasible or cost effective.

For shipboard application, the PORT-A-CHLOR 8600 is easily installed in a machinery space near a seawater intake. Requiring only seawater and electricity to operate, the PORT-A-CHLOR 8600 uses an electrolytic cell to produce a simple, natural form of chlorine – sodium hypochlorite – on demand. Sodium hypocholorite has long been recognized as a superior antifouling agent against both micro- (bacteria, slime, algae) and macro- (mussels, barnacles, etc) fouling agents which can greatly restrict the flow and efficiency of cooling water in ship piping systems. This application of additional biocide is particularly important in modern ship piping systems that employ high-strength, light weight alloys such as titanium rather than conventional copper-nickels.

Typical applications for the PORT-A-CHLOR 8600 include heat exchangers, ship seawater systems, engine cooling systems, and component skids for electronic systems. The PORT-A-CHLOR 8600 is portable and is ideal for temporary maintenance applications, but is also designed for continuous operation in permanent installations.

The PORT-A-CHLOR 8600, incorporates more than 45 years of Howell Laboratories, Inc. experience designing and building shipboard fluid processing equipment for the US Navy. With proven capabilities for producing equipment to meet the most demanding US Navy shock, vibration, EMI and welding requirements, all HLI equipment is designed for reliability and low maintenance.
