Driven by the dual forces of global energy structure transformation and environmental protection, the power generation industry is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Seawater electrochlorination technology, as a cutting-edge and efficient means of utilizing seawater resources, is gradually showing its unique value and potential in the field of power generation. The electrolytic seawater hypochlorous acid generator produced by Bluewav is a direct application of seawater electrochlorination technology. This article aims to deeply explore the in-depth application of seawater electrochlorination technology in the power generation industry, analyze its technical principles, practical application cases, significant advantages and future development trends, in order to provide new ideas and paths for the green transformation and sustainable development of the power generation industry.
Core analysis of seawater electrochlorination technology
In short, seawater electrochlorination technology is an efficient method of converting chloride ions (Cl⁻) in seawater into sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) through an electrolysis process. As a strong oxidant, sodium hypochlorite not only has excellent bactericidal and disinfecting capabilities, but also exhibits excellent performance in treating industrial wastewater and preventing biological fouling. This technology uses seawater for electrolysis directly at the power generation site, avoiding the transportation and storage risks of traditional chlorine or liquid bleach, and greatly improving safety and convenience.
In-depth application practice in the power generation industry
Biofouling prevention and control of cooling systems: In the cooling systems of power plants, seawater is widely used as a cooling medium, but the abundant microorganisms and algae in seawater are easy to attach and grow on the inner wall of the pipe, forming biological fouling, which seriously affects the cooling efficiency and equipment life. The sodium hypochlorite solution produced by electrolysis in seawater electrochlorination technology can effectively kill and inhibit the growth of these microorganisms, keeping the cooling system clean and operating efficiently. For example, in some coastal power plants, after adopting this technology, the maintenance frequency of the cooling system has been significantly reduced, and the operating efficiency and stability have been significantly improved.
Wastewater treatment and zero emission goals: The wastewater generated during the power generation process contains a variety of pollutants, and direct discharge will have a serious impact on the environment. Seawater electrochlorination technology not only achieves effective disinfection and purification of wastewater by electrolyzing chloride ions in wastewater, but also the generated sodium hypochlorite can be reused in the subsequent stages of wastewater treatment to form a closed-loop treatment system. This treatment method not only reduces the use of chemical agents, but also promotes the recycling of wastewater, helping power plants move towards zero emission goals.
Energy conservation, emission reduction and green transformation
Compared with traditional chemical treatment methods, seawater electrochlorination technology, with its low energy consumption and high efficiency, significantly reduces the operating costs and environmental burden of power plants. By reducing the purchase, transportation and storage of chemical agents, and reducing energy consumption in the wastewater treatment process, this technology provides strong support for energy conservation, emission reduction and green transformation in the power generation industry.
Significant advantages and future prospects

With the continuous maturity of technology and the deepening of application, the application prospects of seawater electrochlorination technology in the power generation industry will be broader. In the future, this technology is expected to be deeply integrated with technologies such as intelligence and the Internet of Things to achieve more accurate and efficient electrolysis control and remote monitoring. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of the efficiency of seawater resource utilization, seawater electrochlorination technology is expected to be applied in a wider range of industrial fields, making greater contributions to promoting the green transformation and sustainable development of the global energy structure.
