Exhaust disposal from electrolytic water purification processes

Water treatment on the safe page electrode ionization (EDI) and electrolytic ozone production became generally accepted in the water purification due to its chemistry-free process engineering. From the cathodic reaction hydrogen results with these processes. Since hydrogen air mixtures are combustible over a far concentration range, the exhaust gas stream must be sufficiently diluted either by an efficient and exhaust or be exhausted by explosion-proof exit gas lines into the free. Christian offers now with the patented catalytic exhaust converter a reliable solution to Hydrokat. Its heart is a catalytic burner with automatic oxygen supply as well as integrated temperature control. Thus Hydrokat can convert hydrogen oxygen mixtures in arbitrary composition controlled and completely.The electrolytic ozone generators of the Steritron row, as they come for example with Loopo Kompaktracks for Pharma Verteilsysteme to the employment, can be equipped without further preparation with the Hydrokat burner. Osmotron plants need a Hydrokat deaerator for the off-gas treatment additionally. This combines two functions: On the one hand it separates the electrode gases from the EDI Elektrodenspuelwasser, on the other hand converts it the detonating gas mixture controlled in water vapour. The Hydrokat concept offers several advantages in relation to usual venting systems: The place of assembly of the water treatment plants can be selected now without consideration for special or bleed devices. The renouncement of mobile parts ensures security and reliability while handling the detonating gas mixture.When independent component conceives, the installation of the Hydrokat does not require interferences in the wiring or controlling of the water treatment plant. Thus the catalytic exhaust converter can be re-tooled also with existing plants easily. Maintenance costs for Hydrokat are limited to the precautionary exchange of the catalyst employment in the context of annual plant maintenance.
