The Chloritrol®Valveless Chlorine Injection Pump SystemThe Chloritrol® is a valveless metering system for accurate, maintenance-free injection of sodium and calcium hypochlorite for purification of municipal drinking water. Accurately metering liquid sodium hypochlorite presents a unique challenge because of the fluid’s tendency to out-gas. Many conditions including elevated temperatures, exposure to UV radiation, and cavitation, in addition to, contact with metallic and organic impurities, tend to increase sodium hypochlorite out-gassing. The resulting gas bubbles present a condition known as “gas lock” which adversely affects the efficiency and accuracy of the injection pump’s output. This, in turn, can significantly reduce the amount of chlorine added, and in the worst case, cause the pump to completely lose prime. How it worksThe Chloritrol® System is a unique valveless duplex pump design. The first pump head is high pressure and injects the sodium hypochlorite directly into the water main. The second pump head functions to remove out-gas bubbles from the inlet side of the high-pressure pump head. Electronic ControlFlow rate is controlled by FMI’s Model “C100A” DC Controller Variable Flow Controller The Chloritrol® has been field tested in very demanding applications, and demonstrated that it exceeds performance expectations. It is also noted that the size of the system, as well as energy consumption, is a fraction of that of conventional injection pumps. Other ApplicationsIn addition to sanitizing of drinking water, the Chloritrol is an excellent choice for accurate sodium hypochlorite addition for municipal swimming pools, water parks, resorts, food processing plants, and waste treatment applications.
