An electrode module including electrode plates spaced from one another by spacing means, a plurality of support members each extending through each electrode plate and at least one spacing means between two adjacent electrode plates for releasable securing of the electrode plates together, and each electrode plate includes a plate portion. Each electrode plate includes one supporting and connection lug portion configured to support each electrode plate at a first busbar or a second busbar in an electrochemical reactor for electrically connecting each electrode plate of the electrode module with a first busbar or a second busbar for supplying electrical current between one of the first busbar and the second busbar and each electrode plate of the electrode module.

Electrode module, electrochemical reactor, and water treatment apparatus

A water treatment apparatus includes an electrochemical reactor including a shell structure and a support structure for supporting the shell structure on a base. The support structure includes at least one support element supporting the shell structure from the ledge. A head room portion includes, within the inner space of the shell structure, at least one shelf for receiving and supporting at least one lug portion of at least one electrode plate for suspending the electrode plate. The shelf being located, when in use, preferably directly above the ledge.

Electrochemical reactor, an apparatus and a system for treating water, and a method for controlling a water treatment apparatus

A system for treating water includes an electrochemical water treatment unit having a first self-supporting framework limiting a first inner space. An electrochemical reactor is arranged in the first inner space vertically below a first opening at a top side of the electrochemical water treatment unit. The system includes a maintenance unit having a second self-supporting framework limiting a second inner space. The maintenance unit includes a second opening in a bottom side. The maintenance unit is arranged above the electrochemical water treatment unit so that the first opening and the second opening are aligned. A hoist is moveably arranged along a rail structure at the top side of the maintenance unit.

System for treating water

An electrochemical reactor for electrochemically treating water, including a shell structure defining an inner space. The shell structure further includes an inlet portion having an inlet for conducting a water flow to the inner space, and a reactor chamber in flow connection with the inlet portion, and preferably with an outlet portion. The inlet is arranged such that the water flow to the inner space is directed away from the reactor chamber so as to cause the water flow to mix by forcing the water flow to change direction before entering the reactor chamber. A water treatment apparatus having such a reactor, and the use of such a reactor are also disclosed.
