Using water, salt, and electric power, electrolytic chlorine can be generated for its use in drinking water or disinfection in general.

In some countries, there is a problematic issue on the transportation of commercial sodium hypochlorite, which decomposes easily in a few weeks.

However, salt is an economic product and it is easy to get it regardless of the country or situation. Because of that, the chlorine generation equipment via electrolysis from HIDRITEC shows the following advantages:

• Low investment in the equipment.
• Saving in the cost of chemical products and transportation, just being necessary the use of water and salt.
• Chemicals handling by the staff is reduced.
• Wide range of production, from 50 g/h to 30 Kg/h.

The equipment are supplied already assembled, on a compact structure for its  operation, including the following components:

• Raw water softener.
• Brine dosing pump.
• Flow rate measurement and control system.
• Electrolysis titanium cell.
• General control module with amperage, voltage and temperature measurement adjustment.
• Optional free chlorine measurement in the treatment site.
• Alarm systems in case of no-flow rate, excessive temperatures, lack of salt and low production.

The applications of this equipment are diverse and varied, as shown in the following list:

• Chlorine generation for water purification plants, replacing commercial sodium hypochlorite and chlorine gas.
• Hypochlorite generation in situ for public swimming pools.
• Wastewater disinfection for tertiary treatments.
• Fabrication of a bleach solution for cleaning and disinfection.
• Disinfection treatment for the cooling towers
