Offshore Skid Design Experience Applied to Seawater Electrolysis Chlorination System for Oil & Gas Platforms
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer based in Tianjin, China, Tianjin ZhuoLiNeng (ZLN) Technology Co., Ltd. brings extensive offshore skid design experience to our Seawater Electrolysis Chlorination System specifically engineered for oil and gas platforms. Our systems are built to withstand harsh marine environments, providing reliable biofouling control through on-site generation of sodium hypochlorite from seawater. With a strong track record of exporting to over 15 countries across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, we deliver proven technology that enhances operational safety and reduces chemical logistics costs.
Our electrolysis chlorination units utilize advanced titanium electrodes coated with mixed metal oxides (MMO) to ensure high efficiency and long service life. The skid-mounted design integrates all components—including power supply, control panel, electrolytic cells, and auxiliary equipment—into a compact footprint ideal for space-constrained offshore platforms. Each system is tailored to meet specific platform requirements, with options for manual or fully automatic operation.

Customer Benefits
Reduced Chemical Handling Risks – Eliminates the need for storage and transportation of hazardous chlorine gas or bulk sodium hypochlorite.
Lower Operational Costs – On-site generation using seawater drastically reduces chemical procurement and logistics expenses.
Minimal Maintenance – Self-cleaning electrodes and robust design require only periodic inspection; typical maintenance interval is 6 months.
Scalable Capacity – Modular design allows easy expansion by adding more cell stacks to meet increased platform demand.
Remote Monitoring – Optional SCADA integration enables real-time performance tracking and alarms from onshore control rooms.
Environmentally Friendly – Produces a dilute, safe disinfectant that decomposes naturally, leaving no harmful residues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the electrodes?
A: Under normal operating conditions (seawater salinity 25–35 g/L, temperature 25°C, and proper current density), our MMO-coated titanium electrodes typically last 5–8 years. Periodic cleaning and reverse polarity cycles help extend their life.Q: Can the system handle high variations in seawater quality?
A: Yes, our system is designed to tolerate a wide range of salinity (20–40 g/L) and turbidity up to 50 mg/L. For extremely high silt or organic content, we recommend a pre-filtration unit, which can be integrated into the skid.Q: Is the skid supplied complete with all necessary instrumentation?
A: Absolutely. Each skid includes flow meters, pressure gauges, temperature sensors, conductivity meters, and a PLC-based control panel. The system is fully functional upon connection to seawater supply and electrical power.Q: What certifications are available for the system?
A: We can provide certification according to various classification societies (DNV, ABS, Lloyd's, CCS) upon request. Our manufacturing process follows ISO 9001 quality management standards, and we can also comply with NACE MR0175 for sour service if required.Q: How long does installation and commissioning take?
A: Installation typically takes 1–2 days for mechanical and electrical hookup. Our on-site engineers then perform commissioning within 1 week, including system calibration, performance testing, and operator training.Q: What is the minimum platform deck space required?
A: For a 10 kg/h unit, the skid footprint is approximately 3.0 m × 1.5 m. We can customize the layout to fit irregular spaces, including vertical stacking options for limited areas.Q: Can the system be integrated with existing platform control systems?
A: Yes, our PLC supports common communication protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP, Profibus, and OPC-UA. We can integrate with DCS or SCADA systems for centralized monitoring and control.Q: Do you offer spare parts packages?
A: We recommend a 2-year spare parts kit including electrode sets, gaskets, seals, and circuit boards. Consumables like hypochlorite storage tank linings are also available upon request.
