Project background

A wastewater project required a technical review for possible electrochemical oxidation. The enquiry included a COD target, and the next step was to connect water-quality data, operating conditions and system boundary before selecting the suitable electrode or electrochemical unit.

Key technical questions

  • What are the COD, salinity, chloride concentration, sulfate level, pH, temperature and flow rate?
  • Is the objective polishing, pretreatment, disinfection, oxidation of refractory organics or pilot testing?
  • What discharge target, residence time, power condition and maintenance expectation should be considered?
  • Will TJNE supply anodes only, electrode assemblies, an electrolytic cell, or a defined core electrochemical unit?

TJNE review logic

COD removal performance depends on the full electrochemical system — electrode type, cell configuration, power input and process arrangement. TJNE engineers can help evaluate the right configuration based on wastewater data, with pilot testing where needed.

TJNE supply scope

  • Anodes and functional electrodes configured to the electrochemical reaction environment.
  • Electrode assemblies, electrolytic cells or core electrochemical units where the project scope is defined.
  • Technical review points for wastewater treatability discussion.
  • Treatment targets are reviewed with water-quality data and, where needed, pilot-test results so expectations are discussed on a practical basis.

Project outcome

The enquiry moved from a simple anode-material request to a defined feasibility review, helping the buyer compare electrode and cell options on water-chemistry, energy-consumption and treatment-boundary assumptions before a proposal.

Project note: Configuration and supply scope are reviewed according to operating conditions, process targets and project interface requirements.
