Sodium Hypochlorite Plants

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "disinfection with chlorine is the best guarantee of a microbiologically potable water".

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, sodium hypochlorite 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 "in situ" of small volumes of chlorine and chlorinated products such as Sodium Hypochlorite.

TECHNOLOGY

KERN has an innovative technology for the production of Sodium Hypochlorite "in situ" consisting of a bipolar membrane electrolyzer (does not contain mercury) or a diaphragm (it does not contain any adbests). The plants designed and developed by KERN S&D, employ a safe technology, respectful with the environment and highly competitive for its low investment and low operating costs (high electrical efficiency and degree of automation). The technology of KERN S&D complies with the Community Directives on the Best Available Technologies (BAT) for the production of chlor-alkali (Directive 2010/75 / EU).
