At present, many new water plants have uniformly used sodium hypochlorite generators to disinfect tap water, and many old water plants have also replaced other original disinfection equipment with sodium hypochlorite generators when upgrading equipment. Why do so many water plants choose sodium hypochlorite generators? What is the difference between sodium hypochlorite generator and other disinfection equipment?

    Although sodium hypochlorite disinfection technology is very mature, the use of sodium hypochlorite generators to disinfect tap water in China is still in the promotion stage. Prior to this, many water plants used liquid chlorine or chlorine dioxide generators for on-site disinfection. Compared with the two, sodium hypochlorite generator has the following advantages:

    1. The procurement of raw materials for liquid chlorine and chlorine dioxide generators is complicated, and liquid chlorine, sodium chlorate, and hydrochloric acid are dangerous chemicals. There are risks in transportation and storage, so many people now use sodium hypochlorite generators to prepare pharmaceuticals on site. disinfection.

    2. The raw materials used by the sodium hypochlorite generator are salt and electricity. The sodium hypochlorite solution is a strong oxidant, which can kill all kinds of organisms and bacteria in the water, and it will not chemically react with other substances in the water. Handling security is far greater than other types of equipment.

    3. Compared with other types of disinfection methods, the sodium hypochlorite generator has the disadvantage of higher operating costs. With the exception of high operating costs, there are no shortcomings.

    Sodium hypochlorite disinfection methods have been widely used in foreign countries. As the control of chemicals becomes more stringent, the operating costs of other disinfection methods will also become higher. It is appropriate to use a sodium hypochlorite generator instead of other disinfection equipment.
