Abstract
An improved anode, cup and conductor assembly for a reactor vessel includes an anode assembly supported within a cup which holds a supply of process fluid. The cup is supported around its perimeter within the reactor vessel. The anode assembly has an anode shield carrying an anode. The anode shield and the anode are supported from below by a delivery tube which also serves to deliver process fluid to the cup. A bayonet connection is provided between a top portion of the delivery tube and the anode assembly. The fluid delivery tube has a fixed height within the vessel. The anode elevation is adjusted by the interposing of a spacer of desired thickness between the anode and the tube. An electrical conductor is connected to the anode, and passes through the tube to be electrically accessible outside the vessel. The conductor is connected to the anode with a plug-in connection which is completed when the tube is coupled to the anode by the bayonet connection.
