Liquid Chemical Dosing

Commercially available sodium hypochlorite is produced at 12.5% available free chlorine held in a caustic based solution.  It can be transported as a liquid, injected by metering pumps and in smaller installations can be decanted from bulk storage into smaller containers. 

Sodium Hypochlorite has a defined shelf life and the concentration will decay in strength over time.  It has a tendency when pumped at 12.5% to produce off-gassing particularly in the suction line of solution pumps.  The Occupational, Health and Safety hazards are exacerbated by the caustic base. 

Bulk deliveries of sodium hypochlorite are available from the manufacturer, alternatively smaller quantities are available in pre-packaged containers.

Sodium Hypochlorite dosing packages often include a storage tank and require a bund to retain possible leaks or spillage.  A well designed system will have a dosing pump with a multi function valve to protect against off-gassing from the solution.

WestWater Enterprises has the experience and knowledge to design a package specific to your requirements.
