Biological fouling is a frequent problem whenever seawater or freshwater is used as cooling or process water for processes such as re-gasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG), or in refineries, petrochemical plants and oil platforms. Biofouling reduces efficiency and safety of these processes by restricting cooling water flow in pipe runs and reducing heat transfer across heat exchangers and condensers. Brine or seawater electrochlorination is an effective disinfection treatment method for biofouling control in oil and gas applications. On-site sodium hypochlorite generation is a proven, cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative disinfection treatment method.
On-site generated sodium hypochlorite is stable and easy to feed; additionally less chlorine is lost to the atmosphere because of better mixing and retention in the treated water. ClorTec® on-site sodium hypochlorite generation systems reduce risks by eliminating the production of disinfection byproducts, helping to provide water that is free of pathogens.
The ClorTec systems generate a 0.8% sodium hypochlorite disinfection solution, a chlorine equivalent, using three common consumables: salt, water and electricity.
ClorTec units range in capacity from up to 1 kg/day or 2 lb/day to 1,360+ kg/day or 3000+ lb/day, while ClorTec systems are engineered and offered to meet any specified application demand. To meet varying application specific conditions, the ClorTec units are available as component-based or skid-based packaged systems.
