FRP Electrolytic Cells Polymer Concrete Cell

Product Introduction

FRP Electrolytic Cells are a type of Vinyl Ester Resin Monolithic Casting Electrolytic Cells, designed, manufactured, and installed to meet the most stringent requirements of tankhouse operators worldwide. These electrolytic cells are built to ensure full operational availability throughout the plant’s lifespan, maximizing the production of high-purity metals (such as copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, lead, or other nonferrous metals) with the utmost safety for both people and the environment.

Additionally, the cells are designed to accommodate ongoing improvements in the electrolytic process, allowing for seamless integration with upgrades to complementary equipment, such as anodes, cathodes, caps, boards, overhead crane systems, electrolyte agitation systems, acid mist control devices, thermal insulation, and more.

FRP Electrolytic Cells Structure

Electrolytic cells are cast monolithically based on a patented three-layer composite material system:

• The internal layer 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 layer is the structural core made of 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 layer 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.

Benefits of FRP Electrolytic Cells

1. Long-term impermeability, free of corrosion, 20+ years warranty
   Our monolithic internal tank is manufactured with multiple layers of fiber-reinforced premium vinyl ester resin. It provides continuous service without leakage, is free of corrosion and structural flaws, and operates under normal conditions as specified for each project.
2. Swift, accurate, and less costly installation
   Electrolytic cells include features that allow a reduction of 25% or more in the time needed for cell erection, alignment, and leveling compared to conventional polymer concrete cells. Dimensional tolerances for electrolytic cells are consistently tight, simplifying installation even in the most demanding applications, including plants with automated crane systems.
3. 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, reducing water usage and accelerating the return to service after each cleaning.
4. Minimum maintenance cost
   The robust, virtually impervious internal tank, which is chemically bound to the polymer concrete structural core during molding, is tolerant to operational wear. Its smooth, non-stick surfaces minimize the adhesion of contaminants.
5. Maximum operational safety
   The structural core of electrolytic cells is reinforced with sturdy external seismic reinforcement blocks, confining its floor supports. It also includes a robust internal bidirectional pultruded FRP bar mesh reinforcement, ensuring integrity even in catastrophic events. Electrolytic cell installation protocols call for lateral wall collaboration between cells, reducing stress levels by approximately 40% under normal operating conditions.
