Improved safety, better product quality and lower production costs. In today's world, there is considerable risk and potential liability in transporting and storing inventories of liquid chlorine. The good news is that there is a viable alternative - to manufacture sodium hypochlorite on site, directly from salt.
Aker Solutions offers simple, safe, and reliable systems to electrolyze salt and react the two main products - chlorine gas and caustic soda - to form a high strength bleach solution for use in water treatment and other applications.
The raw material is common salt, which is inexpensive, readily available, and is easily transported and stored at site.
On site bleach production offers the additional benefit of independence from the cyclical chlorine/caustic market, where smaller consumers such as bleach producers and water treatment facilities are often forced to accept high spot prices or rationed supply. In contrast, on-site production allows for increased security of supply, more predictable raw material prices, and favourable return on investment through reduced operating costs.
Our systems are easy to operate and require little maintenance. We deliver the equipment as pre-assembled, skid-mounted modules to allow for simple installation at site, and to ensure quality fabrication under controlled shop conditions.
Bleach can be made closer to the point of use, thereby minimizing transportation costs and the potential for degradation during transit, to ensure a high quality product with low delivered cost.
With over 30 years of experience in providing chlorine/caustic and hypochlorite technology and plant, Aker Solutions is a proven supplier of cost-effective, reliable systems that are backed up by ongoing customer support.
