Water Engineers delivered an OxiMax electrochlorination solution for Shell Refinery in Victoria, Australia. Installed in 2002, the project was designed for marine growth / biofouling control and matched to the site's required duty.
Seawater intake and cooling-water infrastructure at Shell Refinery required dependable protection against marine growth and biofouling. Uncontrolled biological accumulation can restrict flow, reduce heat-transfer performance and increase the frequency of mechanical cleaning.
Water Engineers supplied an OxiMax MC Series electrochlorination system with a chlorine production capacity of 40 kg/hr. The system generates disinfectant on site from saline water, providing controlled treatment directly into the water circuit without the routine transport and storage of bulk chlorine.
The installation provides a practical, continuous approach to biofouling control, supporting reliable water flow, reduced maintenance exposure and improved operating continuity. The modular OxiMax design also supports straightforward operation, monitoring and servicing in demanding industrial conditions.
