Abstract
An electrochemical treatment system includes a treatment fluid supply manifold, a fluid return manifold, and an electrode section connected to the treatment fluid supply manifold. A plurality of treatment fluid supply ports feed fluid through or across the electrode and a plurality of fluid return ports proximate the treatment fluid supply ports are connected to the fluid return manifold. A porous pad is coupled to the electrode section for contacting a substrate to be treated and receives the treatment fluid via the plurality of treatment fluid supply ports. The plurality of fluid return ports remove spent and excess treatment fluid and gases from the substrate, the surrounding air, and the porous pad.
Claims45
An out of tank electrochemical treatment system comprising:
- one or more treatment fluid reservoirs;
- and
- a housing including:
- a treatment fluid supply manifold connected to the one or more treatment fluid reservoirs and including treatment fluid supply channels,
- a return manifold connected to the one or more treatment fluid reservoirs and including treatment fluid return channels,
- an electrode section connected to the treatment fluid supply manifold,
- a porous pad coupled to the electrode section and configured to contact and wet the substrate with treatment fluid,
- a plurality of treatment fluid supply ports connected to the treatment fluid supply channels of the treatment fluid supply manifold and configured to feed treatment fluid through or across the electrode section and distribute treatment fluid through the porous pad, and
- a plurality of return suction ports proximate the treatment fluid supply ports and connected to the treatment fluid return channels of the return manifold and configured to remove spent and excess treatment fluid and ambient gases from the substrate, the surrounding air, and the porous pad and deliver said spent and excess treatment fluid and ambient gases to the one or more treatment fluid reservoirs via the return manifold;
- and
- a peripheral treatment fluid channel about the porous pad and connected to a channel of the return manifold to deliver said spent and excess treatment fluid and ambient gases to the one or more treatment fluid reservoirs via the return manifold.
