Typical hypochlorite generator system
The Process
On-site generation of sodium hypo-chlorite is actually a simple and basic process using 3 common consumables:
• salt
• water
• electricity
On-site generating systems work by running softened water into the salt dissolver. The salt is dissolved forming a brine solution, which is then further diluted to desired salt solution levels.
The resulting salt solution is subsequently passed through electrolytic cells where low voltage (DC) current is applied to the brine, producing Sodium Hypochlorite.
The Sodium Hypochlorite can now be stored in the day tank. When the solution reaches a set low-level minimum, the system automatically re-starts and replenishes its supply.
Multiple Benefits
Widely used in various industries around the world to control algae and bio growth, sodium hypo-chlorite (NaOCl) (otherwise known as electro hypo), offers many benefits.
On-site sodium hypochlorite generation has proven to be an economical means to chlorinate water systems in industry to keep them free from algae growth and pathogens.
Other benefits of hypo-chlorination include:
• does not require transport or large storage facilities
• requires no special handling procedures
• classified as non-hazardous at the hypochlorite levels generated
Modern Components
Most automatic chlorine generators have evolved to incorporate the latest technologies in automated vacuum feed components - therefore combining a high performance system with durability, safety, simplicity of use as well as easy maintenance by the operator.
