Super Tank Cells: Innovations for Tank House
Productivity
Super tank Electrolytic cells are
designed, built and installed to satisfy the most stringent
requirements requested by tank house operators worldwide. In most
case their main request is to guarantee full operating availability
throughout the plant's lifespan, maximizing production of
high-purity metal (copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, lead or other)
with absolute safety for people and the environment.
Additionally, electrolytic cells
must accommodate changes for continuous improvement of electrolytic
process, integrating efficiently with upgrades of complementary
equipment such as anodes, cathodes, cap boards, overhead crane,
electrolyte agitation systems, acid mist control devices, thermal
insulation, among many others.
Super tank electrolytic cells are
cast monolithically based on a patented, three stratum composite
material system:
The internal stratum is a monolithic
tank made with multiple layers of fiber-reinforced vinyl ester
resin (FRP) complying with chemical barrier international norms
that assure long term impermeability and corrosion
resistance.
The intermediate stratum is the
structural core made with Hyperbonded Polymer Concrete, with a
patented formulation to achieve a low coefficient of thermal
expansion, providing long term structural integrity with low
thermally-induced stresses.
The external stratum is a standard
seal layer of FRP that further protects the structural core from
electrolyte splashes and spills. Optionally, this external seal may
be specified with multi-layered oriented fiber reinforcements to
guarantee trouble-free operation in unusually extreme operating
environments.
Super tank electrolytic cells are
characterized by their rounded shapes, optimized for aggressive
thermal conditions through successive iterations using computer
simulations and finite element analysis.
The Super tank design eliminates
corners and sharp edges, replacing them with smooth curves in the
interior and exterior junctions. Abrupt changes in wall thickness
become gradual transitions throughout the structure, mitigating
stress concentrations and reducing material usage and weight by
****5% maintaining the cell’s holding capacity.
Benefits of super tank
electrolytic cells are as follows:
Guaranteed Long-Term
Impermeability, Free of Corrosion
It is designed with a monolithic
impermeable internal tank manufactured with multiple layers of
fiber-reinforced premium vinyl ester resin. The specifications for
this internal tank have been validated by proven impermeability and
corrosion-free service for over *0 years in the chemical processing
industries worldwide.
Manufacturer’s *0
Year Warranty
We guarantee Super tank cells for
continuous service without leaks, free of corrosion and structural
flaws, operating under normal conditions as specified for each
Project.
Swift, Accurate and Less
Costly Installation
Super tank cells include features
that allow reduction of *5% or more in time needed for cell
erection, alignment and leveling, compared to time required with
conventional polymer concrete cells. Dimension tolerances for Super
tank cells are consistently tight, simplifying installation in the
most demanding applications, including plants with automated crane
systems.
Minimum Cleaning Time and
Water Consumption
The rounded internal shape,
optional sloped cell floors, and smooth, flat finish of the
internal tank, facilitate water sweeping and drainage of heavy
sludge, with reduced water usage and accelerating return to service
after each cleaning.
Minimum Maintenance
Cost
The robust, virtually impervious
internal tank that is chemically bound to the Hyperbonded polymer
concrete structural core during molding is tolerant to operating
abuse. Its smooth, non-stick surfaces minimize adhesion of
contaminants.
Maximum Operational
Safety
The structural core of Super tank
cells is bolstered with sturdy external seismic reinforcement
blocks confining its floor supports, and includes a robust,
internal bidirectional, pultruded FRP bar mesh reinforcement which
positively maintains integrity should the cell fail due to
catastrophic events. Super tank cell installation protocols call
for lateral wall collaboration between cells, thus reducing stress
levels of cell around *0% under normal operating conditions.
Key Accessories
Integrated with Super tank Cell Engineering
We design and manufacture cell
thermal insulation, capping board and electrolyte agitation systems
that can be incorporated in the cells, enhancing overall safety,
cathode quality and tank house productivity.
