NRL REPORT 6715 17 (a) Parailel cell (b) Parallel cell (c) Parallel cell (d) Series battery (e) Series battery Fig. 18 - Typical batteries Although experience is required to design within 10 to 20% of actual performance, the most significant consideration for practical operation involves temperature and salinity conditions. Providing adequate output at the lowest expected temperature and salinity sometimes results in excessive voltage at higher temperature and salinity conditions. This is readily controllable, however, by the converter which usually operates in conjunc- tion with the battery. The lowered system efficiency resulting from this control is not serious for short-term operation, in view of the abundance of low-cost energy afforded by the Mg but should be carefully considered for long-term operation. The screen cathode not only improves power output capability but also dramatically extends cell operating life by over a factor of five. The reasons for this lifetime protraction remain unknown. The flakelike electrode deposits characteristic of the plate cathode no longer arise on a screen cathode. Instead, a bulk deposit surrounds the screc:n wires and remains pervious to ion flow. Spectrographic analysis reveals only Mg(OH)2 forboth instances. Limited sea trials disclosed that laboratory tests are representative of ocean operation, particularly for periods short of those where marine growth and fouling are encountered. * -jPDF Image | INERT-CATHODE SEA-WATER BATTERY

Product and Development Focus for Salgenx
Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our flow battery manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@salgenx.com (Standard Web Page)
