What is Electrochemical Oxidation for Defouling?
Electrochemical oxidation defouling includes the production of chemicals (oxidants) at the electrode surface, such as hydrogen peroxide at the cathode, which is an effective biocide and reactive oxygen species at the anode (O2, O2-, O3, OH radicals). Defouling of inorganic scaling can be achieved when the potential is applied without pressure to increase cross flow velocity and shear removal efficiency of scaling. The majority of electrochemical defouling methods using intermediates
