Automated assembly, for cleaning raw water treatment reactor, uses anolyte solution drawn from reservoir for rinsing and cleaning solutions

摘要

An automated assembly cleans a water treatment reactor which generates a catalytic cleaning agent and an anodic disinfection solution from saline solution. The agents are admixed with incoming raw water. The reactor has a cathode chamber, an anode chamber and a membrane. A mixture of salt (NaCl) and water (H2O) flows as brine. The reactor (1) has a reservoir (13) for rinsing and cleaning solutions. During operation, the reactor receives a continual supply of fresh, clean anolyte solution. During the cleaning operation, the anolyte solution in the reservoir (13) is passed through the cathode chamber (2). During operation the reservoir holding anolyte is linked via branch tube (12) with the reactor (1). The anolyte solution reaches the water treatment reactor via a three-way valve (15), pipe (16), flow-regulation tank (17)and a dosing pump. To clean the chamber (2) with the cathode (3) the first three-way valve (15) is selected, allowing anolyte solution in the reservoir (13) to reach the cathode chamber (2) via the second three-way valve (9), and is then surrendered to the effluent water.
