High quality electrochemical cells and systems

Electrochemistry

The Electrochemistry business area comprises equipment and services mainly for the field of pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, petrochemical and food industries as well as for environmental applications. ElectroCell, develops and markets electrochemical process equipment for laboratory tests, pilot work, and production plants.

Process Description

Proper development of electrochemical processes requires the availability of efficient and versatile cell equipment suitable for a large spectrum of demands. The prerequisite for the practical application of electro preparative techniques in the industry is thus off-the-shelf, custom-made equipment. The ElectroCell technology is based on long term development, resulting in well proven, flexible cell designs in basically four different sizes, from 10 cm2 to 16 m2 of electrode area. Thus the Electrochemical Flow Cells comes in the following basic models:

The main application areas are

  • Manufacturing of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates
  • Chlor/alkali type processes and on-site hypochlorite production
  • Food Industry
  • Environmental applications

Advantages of the Electrochemical processes

  • No additional chemicals
  • Greater product selectivity and yield
  • Reduced/no disposal cost
  • Recovery, recycling of wastes/pollutants
  • Low capital costs/low operating costs

Systems and Services

In addition to the above key equipment, ElectroCell offers consulting and feasibility services within the fields of electrochemistry as well as engineering and commissioning services of complete plants, from pilot to commercial production scale.
