Robot-based automation increases the efficiency

Robotic solutions to overhaul its production process, dramatically improving productivity and flexibility, while helping to contribute to global sustainability.

Robotic solutions provide lower energy consumption, dramatically improving productivity and flexibility, while helping to contribute to global sustainability. The robotic welding processes enable more efficient production process of electrochemical cells for water purification systems for cargo ships. Permascand’s ballast water purification cells are then installed on cargo ships and contribute to keeping the world’s oceans clean through an environmentally friendly electrochemical purification process.

Sources of Oxygen Produced in the Chlorate Process Utilizing Dimensionally Stable Anode (DSA) Electrodes Doped by Sn and Sb

Identifying the sources of oxygen in the chlorate process is challenging due to the complex set of chemical and electrochemical reactions involved. Here, two types of electrodes have been investigated—Ti0.7Ru0.3Ox, and electrodes with aimed composition Ti0.34Ru0.3Sn0.3Sb0.06Ox, both compared with platinum anodes.
