Our Products
Energy storage in batteries or chemical fuels such as hydrogen or synthetic natural gas (produced through water electrolysis) will be crucial to the worldwide large scale deployment of fluctuating renewable energies.
As the use of renewable energies grow and technologies mature, the market for storage will gradually increase, offering strong first-mover advantages to a range of potential stakeholders.
Among the different technologies that can be deployed as energy storage, Redox flow batteriesandelectrochemical generation of hydrogenhave been identified as strategic
At De Nora, we are therefore focusing our R&D on:
Regarding water electrolysis, strong efforts are currently being made onAlkaline Water Electrolysisfor medium large scale installations (> 50 Nm/h as hydrogen generation capacity).
In a world where high-density living in urban areas is increasing, and healthcare and the spreading of pandemics are among top concerns, the role of the cleaning industry is of great importance, though often underestimated.
Our commitment is to promote technological advancements for better standards of cleanliness, to help reducing the risk of infection transmission within public spaces.
We develop small-scale systems for theon-site production of sodium hypochloritesolutions, an effectivesanitizerto be employed on several surfaces, including frequent-hand touch sites.
Different sizes of user-friendly devices, based on electro-chemical technology, generate ready-to-use sanitizing products in different concentrations from simple elements such as water, salt and electricity.
Inhealthcare settingsthe importance of cleaning and sanitizing is widely recognized and normally enforced. Yet nosocomial infections still represent a main cause of illnesses with extremely high costs for taxpayers.
Withincommunityenvironments such as schools, offices, fitness centres, retail, the value of cleanliness is less understood, while contaminated surfaces are a vehicle for the spreading of bacteria and viruses.
Among practicalfields of use:
Bathroom fixtures
Tiles, floors
Glass, tables, surfaces in contact with food
Non-surgical medical equipment
Typicaluser applicationsinclude:
Hospitals, clinics
Care homes
Dental studios
Veterinary clinics
Schools, canteens
Restaurants, hotels
Shopping malls
Sports & fitness centres
Amongkey advantagesof our sodium hypochlorite solutions are:
Effectiveness against viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores;
Sanitizing, cleaning and deodorizing properties;
Low cost of source materials (water, salt and electricity)
No caustic stabilizer contents;
Constant production quality, short production cycles;
Environmental friendliness (no harmful chemicals, less plastics used, limited packaging and transport costs)
In addition, hygienically cleaner spaces may contribute strongly to the profitability of businesses, connected to a more pleasant user experience and brand reputation, as proven by market researches for example in the fitness sector.
Say goodbye to chlorine odors, irritated eyes, hair damage and faded swimsuits caused by excessive disinfection by-products and over chlorination. Common salt and electricity generate a consistent and proper amount of pure chlorine solution in a safe, simple and cost effective way to disinfect pools.
We are committed to improving your recreational water quality, while using a green, recyclable treatment process.
We are one of the major supplier ofanodes for sodium and potassium chlorate production, used by Pulp and Paper Companies as environmentally-friendly bleaching agent (EFC Elementary Chlorine Free Process).
Our Company offers a high level of specific know-how in design and manufacturing of cells and anodes for chlorate production.
De Nora's portfolio and services can be listed as:
De Noracurrently has strong ongoingagreements with major technology and process owners in this field.
Winning with electrode design to reduce energy costs in traditional processes and UAT Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Filtration Systems to meet any tap or brackish application need.
Nickel and cobalt production, precious metal refining (gold, silver), recovery of copper from bleed streams or valuable metals from industrial wastewater, are some of the applications of our titanium DSA anodes.
Power saving, enhanced productivity and operation improvement are the results of using De Nora titanium insoluble anodes in electrowinning applications.
Since 1972, we have worked to improve anode coatings to better serve nickel and cobalt refineries and today we count more than 40.000 De Nora DSA anodes installed in refineries and recovery operation plants, providing high efficiency and optimum quality of recovered metal. We offer a very a wide array of energy-efficient products for the electrowinning of non ferrous metals.
De Noras R&D department continues to develop new products for copper and zinc electrowinning. We are constantly looking for innovative solutions that ensure performance improvements under a technical and cost-effectiveness standpoint.
INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WATER TREATMENT
Water is an integral part of the mining and metal production process. Large quantities of water are required in sufficiently high quality for all areas of mine operations from exploration, mining, processing, smelting and refining. The requirement to provide treated raw water through to water reuse.
- Treat raw water for pre-treatment- Remove suspended solids, colloidals, organics, iron, manganese and other contaminants from raw water source- Provide high quality water for process or boiler feed using Reverse Osmosis- Treat and reduce effects of Acid Rock Drainage using reverse osmosis- Treat cooling tower water or process water using disinfection technologies such as sodium hypochlorite- Treat wastewater- Treat contaminated water for environmental discharge or reuse using membranes
Our roots in the chlorine, caustic soda and potash industry run deep, from the creation of the earliest commercial diaphragm cells in the early 1920s, through mercury cells in the 40s to the development of the very first membrane cell in the 70s concentrating nowadays on the most competitive and performing electrode structures and catalytic coatings
Our company serves a wide range of customers needs for all the electrochemical processes and in particular, high performing electrodes and catalyst for the chlor alkali industry.
We offer a high level of know how in design and manufacturing of anodes and cathodes made in titanium or nickel with a mixed precious metal oxide coating.
Our main services can be listed as:
Whether your structure requiring protection is a gas pipeline, a steel tank or a re-enforced concrete deck, De Nora produces a cathodic protection anode for your application, both LIDA and ELGARD lines of CP anodes are commercialized mainly through a network of licensed distributors or authorized customers.
Cathodic protection of steel re-enforced concrete structures such as parking garages, bridge decks, and wharf and pier structures is found under the brand name LIDA.
Anodes for the cathodic protection of industrial steel structures such as pipelines, underground storage tanks, above ground storage tanks, locks, dams, offshore platforms and water boxes are marketed under the LIDA brand name.
All offshore structures, platforms and pipelines require a comprehensive, on-going plan to mitigate the corrosion caused by the seawater environment. Over time and as the structures age the legacy cathodic protection systems require refurbushment in order to extend the useful life of the structure. This life extension requirement can range from 5 to 20 years. A cathodic protection system such as the LIDA TSA (Tensioned String Anode) is comprised of mixed metal oxide anodes that can be specifically designed to deliver the performance needed to extend the life of any offshore structure.
