3% increase in current efficiency!
In order to increase the productivity of a copper tankhouse, the current efficiency and/or current density have to be increased.
Mettop has developed a Parallel flow device (PFD)/Parallel flow plate (PFP) that introduces the fresh electrolyte directly between each pair of electrodes. The device directs the fresh electrolyte in an upward flow upon the surface of the cathode, thus enhancing the existing flow through natural convection. Therefore, the settlement of the anode slime is not influenced by the use of the #mettop-BRX Technology. The PFDs are customer-tailored to guarantee optimum results for each individual tankhouse.
