70% CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE PRODUCTION PLANTS

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “disinfection with chlorine is the best guarantee of microbiologically safe water”.

Chlorine as such or in the form of other chlorinated compounds remains the only product capable of ensuring that water remains disinfected all the way from the water treatment plant to the end user’s tap.

Because of its properties, chlorine is highly effective in combating all types of microbes that water can contain – including bacteria, viruses, fungi and yeasts, and the algae and slime that proliferate inside supply pipes and tanks.

KERN S&D plants respond to a worldwide need for on-site industrial production of small volumes of chlorine and chlorinated products such as Calcium Hypochlorite.

TECHNOLOGY

KERN SD has an innovative technology for the production of Calcium Hypochlorite “in situ” from chlorine gas. The plants designed and developed by KERN SD use a safe, environmentally friendly and highly competitive technology due to its low investment and low operating costs (high electrical efficiency and degree of automation). KERN SD technology complies with the EU directives on Best Available Technologies (BAT) for chlor-alkali production (Directive 2010/75/EU).

APPLICATIONS

Calcium Hypochlorite is widely used for:
  • Swimming pool disinfection
  • Drinking water treatment and disinfection
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Disinfection of hospital equipment and food and beverage processing equipment
  • Microbiological control in agriculture
  • Bleaching (paper, textile)
In general, it is a very effective bactericide for the sanitation of equipment and environments in hospitals and dairy, fishing, meat and poultry industries… and a clear alternative to chlorine gas.
