Liquid Analyzers for Electrolysis Plants

下載 (740 KB)

Introduction

Process liquid analyzers such as pH meters, conductivity meters, ORP meters, and density meters play an important role at electrolysis plants in the control of concentrations of various process solutions. This requires both precision and stability under harsh conditions that include highly corrosive substances, high temperatures, and many impurities.

Expected Benefits

  • Ensures stable, continuous measurement in heavily contaminated liquids
  • Reduces operating costs
  • Eliminates the need for manual cleaning

Conclusion

Yokogawa process solution analyzers deliver stable, long-term measurements under the harsh conditions present in electrolysis plants. The FLXA202/FLXA21 Inductive Conductivity Meter is specially designed to detect the concentrations of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and caustic soda. The PH4C pH Sensor for Chemical Processes can measure pH in a wide variety of processes.

Field Data

Each graph shows a correlation between concentration and conductivity at measurement points, the numbers of which correspond to the ones in the previous page. The ISC inductive conductivity meter's range can be specified, thereby allowing high-resolution measurements in the target concentration range.

Measurement point: 7, 11, 13
 

The correlation between concentration and conductivity is largely affected by solution temperature. The ISC inductive conductivity meter provides automatic temperature compensation using the build-in temperature sensor.

Measurement point: 9, 10

  • Hot-Tap Holder PR10

    On-line measurements often present extra challenges, especially when routine maintenance is required. The PR10 is ideally suitable for applications where the sensors must be removed without interrupting or shutting down the process. Without any special tools the PR10 can be retracted safely from the process at pressures up to 5 bar (72 psi). Using the PR10 allows us to place any dissolved oxygen sensor that has a PG13.5 connenction into a retractable assembly.
