Real-Time Inline Process Monitoring in Chlorine and Caustic Soda Production Liquisonic

Process monitoring with LiquiSonic® - Advantages at a glance

Brine preparation

During the preparation of the feedstock for electrolysis, it monitors LiquiSonic® reliably the quality or saturation of NaCl before and after preparation. This allows conclusions to be drawn about the efficiency of this process step.

Process overview

Maximum sodium chloride saturation, saving on energy costs

  • Reliable incoming goods inspection
  • Extended lifespan of electrolysis membranes
  • Exact knowledge of the purity of the brine
  • Saves energy costs by ensuring maximum NaCl saturation

Separation of NaOH and NaCl

After electrolysis, the catholyte enters the evaporator, which separates NaOH and NaCl. In addition to monitoring the quality of the separated sodium hydroxide, the NaOH/NaCl mixture can also be monitored in real-time. The controller reliably indicates both concentrations simultaneously.

Highly accurate monitoring of inputs and outputs for optimized separation process

  • Monitoring of sodium hydroxide/sodium chloride mixture
  • Accuracy up to ±0.1 m%
  • Ensuring NaOH product quality
  • Monitoring of evaporator efficiency

Drying of chlorine gas

As a product of electrolysis, the chlorine gas is dried. By adding sulfuric acid, water is removed from the gas, preparing it for further processing. The LiquiSonic®-System monitors the quality (concentration/density) of the supplied sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
