CELL CHEMISTRY
Vinning can be measured in the following ways:
1) > 98% chlorine yield based on power input.
That is > 98% chlorine current efficiency > 96% caustic current efficiency
2) Extending the series life beyond the expected 4-5 years. This delays the expensive cell capital investment and returns the most money on the existing series. The trick, to this is to be able to increase the life without a decrease in the current efficiencies.
The key to success lies in the ability to control reactions (2) and (4).
(2) H20 --------- > 0 + 2 H(+) + 2e
(4) C12 +
H20 <-> H(+) + Cl(-) + H0C1
Reaction (2) is largely limited by itsovervoltage at theanode versus that of chlorine evolution. It is influenced somewhat by the molar ion concen tration in the anolyte next to the anode. In this way, optimum control of the anolyte resaturation helps favour chlorine evolution.
Reaction (4) is promoted by high pH and low chloride ion concentration. High pH arises from back migration of OH(-) ions through the diaphragm to accommodate charge transport to the anode. The amount of OH(-) ions that backmigrates depends on the current density, hydraulic head differential in the cell, and the molar ratio of OH(-) and Cl(-) in the catholyte. Controlling cell effluent strength to strike a balance between evaporative energy to produce 50% NaOH and the ability to control anolyte pH yields optimum success.
In any case the OH(-) ions have to be neutralized by pH controlling the cells with HC1 according to the following reaction:
OH(-) + H(+) + Cl(-) ---------> H20 + Cl(-)
The lower limit for pH control is set by potential damage to the magnesium silicate (asbestos) diaphragm. Experience has indicated that this value is around pH 1.5.
Equation (2) can be suppressed by the presence of hydrogen ions. Equation (4) can be driven to the left by increasing the hydrogen and chloride ion concentrations. This indicates that good efforts to maintain a low pH in the cells will produce the desired results by suppression of hypochlorous production.

DO 127831 CONFIDENTIAL
To increase the chloride concentration in the cell good control over the resaturation system is required. The only limitation here is that the saturation limit must not be exceeded lest a potentially serious situation arise from locally boiling and arcing a cell. This limit varies somewhat with cell effluent strength but can be usually fixed near 310 to 320 gpl NaCl in the anolyte. If reactions (2) and (4) can be suppressed we will be making efficient use of our electricity.
With the conversion to M83 (metal anode) cells from the M82 (graphite anode) cells, the life of a series is no longer set by the physical deterioration of the anode. Some M83 cells have been on line for more then 5 years. This brings up the question of when do we rebuild. There is a definite benefit financially to delay the capital expenditure required for a rebuild. However it has also been shown that cell efficiencies drop off with age. The normal procedures for treating and washing a series will return some of the efficiency but not all. The trend is still downwards. The drop in efficiencies are probably related to wear and tear on the diaphragm. With time the diaphragm may be getting thinner and "looser", leading to increased backmigration of the OH(-) ions. Ions that have to be neutralized with HC1. This is represented by a drop in the caustic current efficiency for that series. The present challenges in the cell area is to define at what point the economic benefits of delaying capital costs are overshadowed by efficiency penalties, and to find a way to extend the life of the series while maintaining high cell efficiencies.

2.3 Process flowsheets
2.3-1 Process description and flowsheets.
Treated brine flows directly to E330 or to E331 via T250 the tailgas scrubber from the brine ponds (flowsheet 1). The brine is cross exchanged with condensate from the caustic plant to bring the temperature of the anolyte in the cells up to 80 degrees Celsius. Each series has an individual temperature controller that feeds auxiliary (cool) brine into the series to maintain the temperature of the anolyte at the desired set point.
The heated brine from the exchangers enters V101 (flowsheet 2) the head tank. Chlorinated water from V107 and from V109 also enters the head tank. 18% hydrochloric acid from V165 is added to the head tank to neutralize any caustic that may be present in the brine and to reduce the pH of the brine to 1.9. The brine then flows by gravity to the chlorine cells via a radial feeder system. Besides this system there is also an auxiliary system to supply cool brine directly to the cells from the treated brine pumps. This system is normally used on start up of the cells when the brine demand is higher due to loose diaphragms.
The chlorine cell area consists of 8 series of 72 M83 cells.
The 8 series are divided up into two circuits of 4 series each.
There is a rectifier for each circuit, R3 and R4. AC power is
supplied to the rectifier and is converted to DC power before
being fed into each circuit (flowsheets 3,4). The rectifiers
are Fuji S-former outdoor type. Cooling for the rectifier is
supplied by circulating deion water cross exchanged with cooling
tower water. In the transformer, oil is circulated and is also
cross exchanged with cooling tower water.
The rectifier
cubicles are cooled with air that is circulated by fans.
Each series in the cell area is coupled with the neighboring series to form a series pair. Each series pair can be isolated from its rectifier circuit by the means of Anderson switches illustrated in figures 1 and 2. Should a pair of series need to be isolated for rebuilds or washing, it can be done with minimal effect on the availability of the plant.

Salt is removed from the cell effluent in the caustic plant and forwarded to D150 (flowsheet 5). In D150 the salt is washed with brine through a sparger system to remove any caustic that has been carried over- The sparger system maintains the salt in D150 in a fluid state. The overflow from D150 flows into V413. V413 over flows into the brine ponds. The salt slurry is fed into the series through the radial feeder system to maintain anolyte salt strength at about 295 gpls. The salt concentration is maintained in D150 at about 30% settled volumes. There is enough salt in D150 to provide the cells with salt slurry for 5 hours if the caustic plant stops forwarding salt during a flywash.
HC1 is added to V101 and to individual series through a header system from V165. Burner acid flows to T110 at a concentration of 34%. It is then diluted in T110 and forwarded to V165 where the concentration is maintained at 18% by a density controller (flowsheet 6). The acid is forwarded to V101 and the cells by P165. The acid is used to neutralize any caustic in the brine and caustic that has back migrated through the diaphragm.
The typical chlorine cell is illustrated in flowsheet 7. The
main products from the cell are chlorine vapor, hydrogen vapor
and cell effluent (10% caustic). These products leave the cells
through separate collection headers.
Figure 3 is general
overview of the flows in and out of the cell area.
Due to impurities that are in the feed to the cells, the diaphragm plugs up with time to the point where it needs to be washed. A pair of series are washed at a time. The cells are washed with raw water that is heated in E104 (flowsheet 8). C02 is also added to the raw water to lower the pH of the wash water.
The cell effluent flows from the series and is collected in the sump S101. The cell effluent is then forwarded to the cell effluent storage tank D301 (flowsheet 9). Sulphite from D170 (flowsheet 10) is added to the sump to neutralize any hypo that may be present.
The chlorine leaves the cells under a slight vacuum and flows to the primary chlorine cooler E101. Each pair of series is coupled through a knockout pot which serves to disengage any entrained water in the chlorine.
The hydrogen leaves the cells under a slight pressure. Each pair of series connected through a knockout pot. From the pot the hydrogen can flow to either the start up header to T142 or to the primary hydrogen scrubber T140. In the event of a problem with the primary stack the flow can be diverted with a seal to T141 the primary relief stack. Each knockout pot is also equipped with a relief stack to protect each pair from excessive hydrogen backpressure.

DO 12784? CONFIDENTIAL
The hydrogen system (flowsheet 11) consists of an ejector which provides cooling and a slight draft to force the hydrogen through T140. All of the hydrogen in this plant is vented except for a small portion which is compressed and forwarded to the BC1 burner by K150. The motive fluid for the ejector EJ140 is recirculated through E140 by P140. E140 provides the cooling necessary to cool the hydrogen from 75 degrees to 40 degrees. Because of the cooling the H2 system has a net gain of water which overflows to the brine ponds at T140. Sulphite from D170 is added to P140 suction to neutralize any hypo that may be present. The brine is cross exchanged with condensate from the caustic plant to bring the temperature of the anolyte in the cells up to 80 degrees Celsius. Each series has an individual temperature controller that feeds auxiliary (cool) brine into the series to maintain the temperature of the anolyte at the desired set point.
