Chloropac

Chloropac: A Powerful Tool for Water Treatment

Chloropac is a widely recognized term in the environmental and water treatment industry, referring to a hypochlorite generation system developed and marketed by USFilter (now part of Veolia Water Technologies). This system leverages the power of electrocatalytic oxidation to produce sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) on-site, providing a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for water disinfection and oxidation.

How it Works:

The Chloropac system utilizes a unique combination of electrolysis and catalytic technology. Essentially, it involves passing a direct current through a specially designed cell containing a saltwater solution. The electrical energy breaks down the salt (NaCl) into its constituent ions, with sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) migrating to the anode and cathode respectively.

At the anode, the chloride ions are oxidized to form hypochlorite ions (ClO-), which are then combined with sodium ions to create sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). This process is enhanced by the use of a catalytic electrode designed to promote the oxidation reaction, ensuring efficient hypochlorite generation.

Advantages of Chloropac:

• On-Site Generation: Chloropac eliminates the need for storing and handling hazardous chlorine gas, reducing transportation risks and storage concerns.
• High Efficiency: The system offers high hypochlorite production rates with minimal energy consumption, translating to cost-effectiveness.
• Precise Control: The system allows for precise control over hypochlorite concentration, ensuring optimal disinfection levels and reducing the risk of over-chlorination.
• Environmentally Friendly: Eliminating the use of chlorine gas reduces the potential for harmful emissions and minimizes environmental impact.
• Versatile Application: Chloropac can be used in a wide range of applications, including municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater disinfection, swimming pool sanitation, and food processing.
