How do the costs of on-site hypochlorite generation compare to purchasing commercial hypochlorite?
The only costs for on-site generation are electricity, salt and water. Savings vary depending on energy costs, but the typical user of a ClorTec system realizes savings of 40-75% in operating costs compared to commercially purchased sodium hypochlorite. What are the maintenance requirements for the ClorTec system? Maintaining ClorTec on-site generators is simple and inexpensive. A regular check of the system is necessary to insure proper performance and operating conditions (i.e., cell condition, voltage, amperage and hour meter reading). Cell descaling is necessary on a periodic basis dependent upon the water hardness. Inspection and adjustment of the metering pump and water testing may also be required. All systems can be provided in a SCADA-compatible configuration enabling integration and adjustment with existing process control. Electrode replacement is the only major repair cost. During the selection process, consideration should be given to determine the potential cost and frequ
