Cell Voltage Monitoring System (CVMS) is an important tool for Electrolytic Refining plants for Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Chlorination plants.
These plants have several electrolytic cells connected in series. CVMS monitors voltage across individual cell and generates alarms in case of under or over voltage. Under voltage indicates short circuit whereas over voltage indicates bad connection or passivation. In addition, current and totalized ampere-hours are monitored, which indicates condition of the yield.
Special tools are available to analyze the acquired data, wherein average cell voltage, deviations w.r.t. average and standard cell voltage and crop patterns are calculated.
Microverse CVMS systems help to improve plant efficiency by early or predictive detection of faults. Moreover, the systems eliminate the need for field operators to inspect cells individually protecting them from exposure to hazardous chemicals and high currents.
