Parallel Flow Plate

The Parallel Flow Plate (PFP) is a further development, namely a combination of the PFD and cell: In new tankhouses - or when replacing cells in an existing tankhouse - the METTOP-BRX-Technology can be integrated into the polymer concrete cells. The main idea is to cast the cell such that the space for the electrolyte distribution system is already included. Therefore, only a stainless steel front plate with nozzles and cathode spacers - the Parallel Flow Plate - is supplementary to the cell.

Implementing PFPs minimizes the installation effort, as only the front plate has to be mounted. Furthermore, the system can be preassembled at the cell supplier and the customer can simply install the complete cells, just like normal cells. One important prerequisite is accurate cell manufacturing, including the wall surface and positioning of the holes to attach the PFP. METTOP has collaborations with different polymer concrete cell suppliers and is therefore able to provide customer-tailored PFP/cell systems.
