What is a sulfonator?

A – Due to the high concentrations of bacteria and other microbiological organisms in waste water, commensurate high concentrations of chlorine are necessary for proper disinfection. Treated waste water is discharged to tributaries through NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) outfalls, and an NPDES permit restricts the allowable chlorine concentration of the discharged water. Sulfonators are used to inject measured amounts of sulfur dioxide into chlorinated waste water for the purpose of dechlorination.
