Product Details

Safe and simple electrolytic production of hypochlorite solution for disinfection applications
Selcoperm electrolytic chlorination systems produce hypochlorite solution from a solution of common salt using electricity, without creating any notable by products. The produced hypochlorite solution has a pH value between 8 and 8.5 and a maximum equivalent chlorine concentration of less than 8 g/l. Due to its long half-life, it is ideal for storage in a buffer tank.

Key components in the Selcoperm unit include an electrolysis system, storage tanks for the saturated salt solution and product solution, an exhaust fan for removing any hydrogen produced, and dosing pumps for the product solution. The concept is rounded off with a measuring and control unit for chlorine dosing. The electrolysis system is supplied as a turn-key solution. Only the pipework for the water supply, the connections of the salt and product storage tanks as well as the exhaust pipe have to be installed. The size of the storage tanks depends on the capacity level of the system and the amount of disinfectant solution required.

Applications
The systems are a good alternative to chlorine-gas based systems. Typical disinfection applications for electrolytic chlorination systems are above all

Drinking water treatment
Swimming pool water treatment
Wastewater treatment.
