Electrochlorination systems maintenance solution

Evoqua Electrochlorination Services (EES) has been established to provide a one-stop-shop after-sales service solution for all MGPS, regardless of the manufacturer or design, leading to a more quick and cost-effective maintenance service for operators.

Ed McNally, director of service and aftermarket for Evoqua’s Electrocatalytic business, said: “EES puts Evoqua Water Technologies in the unique position of being the only system supplier to provide through-life support for any electrochlorination-based MGPS in the market, including mesh, flat plate or concentric tube electrode types.”

“Our customers often operate a number of systems from different manufacturers which invariably means calling out service personnel and securing spare parts from three or four different companies. Now operators can simply work with a single supplier, irrespective of the systems they operate, to provide more cost-effective, expedient means of supporting their MGPS maintenance requirements.”

The EES concept was born two years ago when an Aberdeen-based oil rig operator contacted Evoqua to commission a MGPS supplied by a competing manufacturer.

Evoqua was an early pioneer in the development of electro-chlorination systems and is able to maintain, install and commission any MGPS system, or retrofit its own proprietary solution, Chloropac MGPS.

“These systems do need to be maintained, said Mr McNally. “Regular prescriptive maintenance measures can safeguard against unit downtime while saving thousands of dollars in the replacement of electrochlorination cells.”

The prevention of marine growth in offshore oil and gas rigs, drill ships, FSPOs, FSOs and FSRUs is critical to preventing downtime in operations.
