Flow-through electrochemical module reactor - FEM-3 module. FEM-3 module, in
spite of its similarity to FEM-2 module in the principle of its application
in electro-chemical systems, technically has an absolutely new design, and essentially
differs from its prototype - FEM-2 module. FEM-3 module, unlike FEM-2 and FEM-1
modules, is devoid of problems arising in connection with the presence of bi-polar
areas on the sur-face of external electrode, and it surpasses FEM-1 and FEM-2
modules in its mechanic, hydraulic and electrochemical reliability and durability.
FEM-3 modules can be used to implement any technological processes developed
for FEM-1 and FEM-2 modules. Simultaneously, engineering and economic parameters
of these processes become better. However, FEM-1 and FEM-2 modules cannot be
used in process flowsheets developed with regard to FEM-3 modules either due
to reasons making such re-placement technically and technologically impossible,
or because engineering and economic parameters of processes carried out using
FEM-1 or FEM-2 modules, ap-pear worse than if FEM-3 modules are employed.
The practice of FEM-3 module operation suggests that it is from the moment
of developing a reliable, versatile and easy-to-use electrochemical reactor
that tech-nology of electrochemical activation in particular, and technology
of "individual" applied electrochemistry in general, originate.
