Abstract

A system and method for operating a photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly for removing fouling from components is provided. The method includes the steps of resetting a first counter, increasing the first counter by a first channel increment value, and determining if the value in the first counter exceeds a value corresponding to the number of channels provided in the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly. If the first counter does not exceed a value corresponding to the number of channels provided in the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly, the following steps are performed: reversing polarity in a channel associated with the value in the first counter, resetting a first timer, determining if an amount of time in the first timer exceeds a first time period, increasing the amount of time remaining in the first timer by a first time increment if the amount of time remaining in the first timer does not exceed the first time period, terminating the polarity reversal in the channel associated with the value in the first counter when the time remaining in the first timer exceeds the first time period, and returning to the step of increasing the first counter by a first channel increment value. If the first counter does exceed a value corresponding to the number of channels provided in the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly, the step of returning to the step of resetting the first counter is performed.
