FAQs About Anodes for Electrochlorination
What is a chlorine-evolving anode?
A chlorine-evolving anode is a dimensionally stable anode with a specialized catalytic coating that efficiently generates chlorine through electrochemical oxidation. These anodes are critical components in electrochlorination systems used across water treatment, pool sanitation, and chlor-alkali production.
What substrates are used for anodes for electrochlorination?
Titanium is the standard substrate for most electrochlorination anodes due to its lightweight strength and exceptional corrosion resistance. ChlorOxide™ coatings can also be applied to titanium-clad and tantalum substrates, depending on application requirements.
How long do ChlorOxide™ coatings last?
Coating life depends on operating conditions, including current density, electrolyte composition, and temperature. We work directly with each customer to recommend the optimal coating formulation and oxide loading for maximum service life in their specific environment.
Can ChlorOxide™ coatings be applied to existing anodes?
Yes. Titan Metal Finishing offers recoating services for existing titanium and compatible substrates, extending the operational life of your anodes for electrochlorination without the cost of full replacement. Contact our engineering team to evaluate your recoating needs.
