Hydrochloric Acid
Chlorine as such or in the form of other chlorinated compounds remains the only product capable of ensuring that the water remains disinfected throughout the journey 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 yeast, and the algae and silt that proliferate inside the supply pipes and in the tanks.
The KERN plants meet a worldwide need, which is the industrial production of small volumes of chlorine and chlorinated products such as hydrochloric acid.
