Electrolytic treatment plant for agressive waters

Abstract

Abstract 1. Electrolytic treatment plant for agressive waters, continuously treating drinking water or water for general use with a through flow basin (1) for letting the water flow therethrough which is equipped over its length with several baffles (4, 9) disposed vertically and extending substantially over the entire width of the basin (1), characterized in that the baffles are arranged in alternating sequence on different levels below the upper rim (5) of the basin whereby the higher situated baffles (4) are at a distance form the bottom (6) of the basin whereas the lower situated baffles (9) rest directly upon it (6) ; that there is an equal number of higher and lower baffles ; that each a magnesium anode battery (30, 33) is arranged between the baffles respectively between the front wall (11) of the basin that has an inlet opening (2) and the baffle located next to said wall, and that the baffles, the longitudinal walls between them between the first baffle and the front wall (11) as well as that front wall have a lining (17, 20, 23, 25, 26) serving as a cathode and made of a metal or a metal alloy, said lining providing for a voltage difference in the water between cathodes and anodes that drops towards the anodes (30).
