Benefits of Onsite Salt Generated Chlorine
Installing a Hypogen® onsite chlorine generator system, manufactured by Liquid Chlorine New Zealand, delivers significant advantages for water treatment applications across New Zealand and Auckland. Onsite salt-generated chlorine, also known as sodium hypochlorite, provides benefits for operators, treatment processes and the environment.
Environmentally Friendly Salt-Generated Chlorine
Salt-generated chlorine is produced onsite using only salt and water, creating a clean and natural disinfectant. This process produces pure sodium hypochlorite without the need for manufactured chlorine gas or bulk commercial chlorine. As a result, fewer harmful disinfection by-products are formed, leading to improved water clarity and a more environmentally responsible treatment solution.
Safer Storage and Handling
The Hypogen® chlorine generator range produces a low-strength sodium hypochlorite solution of up to 2.4% concentration. At this level, sodium hypochlorite is classified as non-hazardous, making it significantly safer to store, transport and handle. This removes many of the risks associated with bulk chlorine deliveries and greatly improves safety for staff and operators, while still providing highly effective disinfection performance.
Reduced Chemical Use and Better pH Control
Bulk commercial chlorine typically contains caustic soda and stabilising additives, which increase water pH and require additional chemicals to correct balance levels. This leads to higher chemical consumption and increased operating costs. In contrast, onsite salt-generated chlorine is naturally stable, has a lower pH impact, and contains no added by-products. This results in simpler water management, fewer chemicals, and more consistent treatment outcomes.
Ideal for New Zealand Water Treatment Applications
Hypogen® onsite chlorine generation systems are an ideal solution for municipal water treatment, wastewater facilities, pools, and industrial applications throughout Auckland and New Zealand, offering a safer, cleaner and more sustainable approach to chlorine disinfection.
Onsite Salt Generated Chlorine Benefits:
Chlorine gas is very poisonous and dangerous to humans. The use of chlorine gas can easily be replaced with the Hypogen® onsite salt chlorine generation system. This eliminates all transportation risks, risks to the operators handling the chlorine gas and the potentially life threatening risk to the public and staff if a chlorine gas leak takes place. Also unlike chlorine gas, that requires site certification and operator training and certification, onsite salt generated chlorine is a non-hazardous chemical and requires no special site certification or staff training.
