Electrochlorination (EC)
A Modern Approach to Water Disinfection
Electrochlorination is an advanced water treatment technology that generates chlorine-based disinfectant directly on-site by passing an electric current through a solution of high purity salt and water. This process produces sodium hypochlorite, a powerful agent widely used for the disinfection of drinking water, wastewater, swimming pools, and industrial water systems.
Key Benefits of Electrochlorination
- On-Site Generation: Chlorine is produced where it is needed, reducing risks associated with the transport and storage of hazardous chemicals.
- Safety: Eliminates the need for handling toxic chlorine gas or concentrated liquid chlorine, making operations safer for personnel and the environment.
- Cost-Effective: Utilises inexpensive and readily available raw materials—salt, water, and electricity—to produce disinfectant.
- Consistent Quality: Provides a reliable supply of chlorine at a consistent concentration for effective disinfection.
- Environmentally Friendly: Minimises chemical waste and reduces the carbon footprint associated with chemical transportation.
