Hlorogen is device for electrolytic production of chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution.
Capacity is 4 kg/h or 96 kg/day of equivalent chlorine.
Since no gaseous chlorine is present, water chlorination is absolutely safe due to system design. For production of sodium hypochlorite solution all that is needed is common salt, softened water and electric energy. Production expenses are up to two times lower compared to gaseous chlorine disinfection, or commercial sodium hypochlorite.
System is easy to use, demands only minimal maintenance and it is fully automated. Exploitation period is minimum 20 years.
Characteristics of the system
Hlorogen H2000 – Characteristics of the systemFour E1000 electrolyzers capacity to produce 4000g/h, 96.0 kg/day is sufficient to disinfect the water with flow of 2222 l/s in order to maintain the 0.5 mg/l residual prescribed by law.

Operation Basics
Hlorogen H4000 – Operation BasicsWater from the pipeline is filling water softener (4), calcium and magnesium ions are removed, and on the outlet of the softened water is obtained. Dosing pump (6) is transferring this water to the electrolyser where it is mixed with sodium chloride solution transferred from tank (3) by means of another dosing pump ( tank 3 contains saturated sodium chloride solution). Electrochemical reaction which results in conversion of sodium chloride into sodium hypochlorite is taking place in the electrolyser cell energized by direct electric current from energetic assembly (35) of the Hlorogen device Hypochlorite solution is stored in the tank (2). Hydrogen generated by conversion reaction is let in to atmosphere by means of ventilating system (28). Optimal hypochlorite production is achieved using system automatic arrangement (36). Sodium hypochlorite solution is injected by dosing membrane pumps (38) into pipeline with water to be disinfected. Residual chlorine analyzer (39) connected into regulation circuit with dosing pump keeps the concentration of residual chlorine in the water on the predetermined level. This is providing continuous production of disinfecting agent, automatic process control and automatic dosing and residual chlorine control.
Full system operation can be monitored through PC (37).
