Water Treatment Disinfection
The Hypochlor Difference
1. ONE-STEP WASHDOWN OPERATION: HYPOCHLOR provides a continually renewed source of hypochlorite disinfectant throughout the washdown process. It gives the user the simplest, most efficient disinfectant tool available today. Unlike many other disinfectants, HYPOCHLOR requires no pre-rinse and no potable water rinse afterwards to remove harmful chemical residues. Practically speaking, HYPOCHLOR means disinfection from the end of a hose.
2. ECONOMICAL: HYPOCHLOR is adjustable to various levels of chlorination, depending upon the needs of the user. User cost is an extension of chlorination level and the amount of water used.
3. APPROVALS & REGISTRATION: HYPOCHLOR tablets in a disposable cartridge are registered with the EPA and approved by the USDA & FDA. These approvals show that the HYPOCHLOR tablets meet all rigid environmental requirements set by government regulatory agencies.
4. NO BATCH MIXING: Because of its “point-of-use” design, KLORMAN and BUCCANEER eliminate the need for proportioners, complex metering devices, and batch mixing of chemicals by your workers. With KLORMAN and BUCCANEER systems you use what you need; no more. Furthermore, since there is no batch mixing, KLORMAN and BUCCANEER systems limit worker liability while enhancing worker safety and shortening the clean- up time.
5. STABILITY: HYPOCHLOR tablets are much more stable than the more commonly used sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach). In dry storage it loses 3%-5% of its strength per year while sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach) can lose up to 50% strength in 90 days!
6. NON-CORROSIVE: KLORMAN and BUCCANEER systems’ unique ability to dispense calcium hypochlorite (a solid into a liquid) insures controlled pH. Most of the corrosion associated with hypochlorites occurs from the use of sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach) and its excessive alkalinity. The self-buffering nature of HYPOCHLOR tablets prevents this high degree of alkaline corrosion. Control of pH also means a high percentage of the most active chlorine disinfectant, hypochlorous acid.
7. NO HARMFUL CHEMICAL RESIDUES: The active disinfectant provided by the HYPOCHLOR tablets disinfects, deodorizes, and performs its functions before it ceases to contain oxidizing properties. It is then reduced to a chloride and loses all its disinfectant qualities. Chlorines are inert and naturally occurring.
8. ODOR CONTROL: Chlorine has an affinity for nitrogen, and most odors are ammonia/nitrogen based. HYPOCHLOR cartridges, with their 68% available chlorine, provide enough chlorine to “burn through” that ammonia. The low-yield (5.25%) chlorine provided by liquid bleach is insufficient to “burn through”. Instead, the low-yield chlorine forms a bond with the nitrogen and creates chloramines. Chloramines produce the obnoxious, pungent odor many people associate with “chlorine disinfection”. With HYPOCHLOR there are no obnoxious, unpleasant odors.
