In the water treatment industry, disinfection is a critical step in ensuring water quality and preventing the spread of pathogens. Among various disinfectants, hypochlorous acid (HClO) is increasingly becoming the best alternative to traditional chlorine disinfectants due to its high efficacy, broad spectrum, and safety. The advent of the Chlory hypochlorous acid generator, with its on-site preparation and precise dosing technology, has taken the application of hypochlorous acid disinfection to new heights.
Hypochlorous Acid: Superior Disinfection Efficacy
Hypochlorous acid is one of the core substances in the human immune system's defense against pathogens, and its disinfection mechanism is scientific and highly effective.
- Strong Oxidizing Properties: Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a weak acid with a low molecular weight and neutral charge. This allows it to more easily penetrate microbial cell walls and membranes, disrupting enzyme systems, proteins, and nucleic acids within them, leading to their death.
- High Efficiency and Broad Spectrum: Unlike traditional sodium hypochlorite (bleach), hypochlorous acid is most abundant at near-neutral pH (pH 6.0-7.5), and its bactericidal efficiency is 80-100 times that of hypochlorite ions (ClO⁻). It can quickly and effectively kill a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, spores, and fungi, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, norovirus, and influenza virus.
- Safe and environmentally friendly: After disinfection, hypochlorous acid decomposes into water and a small amount of chloride ions, leaving no harmful residue and producing no carcinogenic byproducts such as trihalomethanes (THMs). This environmentally friendly disinfectant is considered a "green" disinfectant.
Chlory Hypochlorous Acid Generator: Core Technology and Working Principle
The Chlory hypochlorous acid generator represents an advanced technology for on-site disinfectant preparation. It eliminates the need to store and transport hazardous chemicals such as chlorine gas or highly corrosive sodium hypochlorite solution, fundamentally eliminating safety risks during transportation and storage.
The core operating principle is typically electrolysis:
By electrolyzing low-concentration salt water (NaCl solution), an electrochemical reaction occurs in a diaphragmless electrolytic cell, directly generating a high-purity hypochlorous acid disinfectant solution. The entire reaction process can be precisely controlled, and the chemical equation can be simplified to:
NaCl + H₂O → HClO + NaOH
The Chlory generator features an intelligent control system that precisely adjusts electrolysis parameters (such as current, concentration, and flow rate) based on changes in raw water quality and volume, ensuring the output of a stable, highly effective hypochlorous acid solution and enabling precise dosing.
The Chlory generator perfectly combines with water treatment and disinfection.
The Chlory hypochlorous acid generator, when used in water treatment and disinfection, offers significant advantages:
Wide Application Scenarios:
- Municipal Drinking Water Disinfection: Serving as a primary or auxiliary disinfectant, effectively reduces residual chlorine odor, minimizes disinfection byproducts, and enhances the taste and safety of drinking water.
- Sewage Treatment Plant Effluent Disinfection: Deeply disinfects effluent after secondary treatment to meet discharge standards and protect natural water ecosystems.
- Swimming Pool Water Disinfection: Its strong bactericidal properties effectively prevent eye and skin irritation and improve the air quality of swimming pool environments.
- Food Processing Plant, Aquaculture, and Agricultural Irrigation Water Disinfection: Ensures water safety and controls microbial contamination at the source. Significant Advantages:
- Safety and Reliability: On-site production and immediate use, eliminating the risk of hazardous chemical storage.
- Economical and Efficient: Using only salt and electricity as raw materials, operating costs are low; the equipment is highly automated, reducing labor and management costs.
- Precise and Controllable: Automatically adjusts production and dosage based on real-time online water quality monitoring data (such as turbidity, pH, and flow rate), avoiding under- or overdisinfection and achieving optimal disinfection results.
- Easy Management: The integrated and modular design of the equipment provides a small footprint, easy installation and operation, and minimal maintenance.
