Understanding Dechlorination
Following pipeline installations, repairs, or routine maintenance, chlorination serves as a fundamental method for safeguarding water quality. However, residual chlorine levels must be carefully managed before treated water is discharged back into the environment. Failure to dechlorinate effectively can pose risks to aquatic ecosystems. We offer comprehensive dechlorination solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of each project.
Dechlorination Methods
Two primary methods are commonly employed for dechlorination:
This method involves the controlled introduction of reducing agents, such as sodium bisulfite or sodium thiosulfate, to neutralise residual chlorine. Precise dosing is essential to achieve target chlorine levels and ensure environmental compliance.
Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters are utilised to adsorb and remove chlorine from the water stream. As water passes through the GAC bed, chlorine molecules adhere to the carbon’s porous surface, effectively reducing chlorine concentrations.
Our team of experts conducts thorough assessments of project parameters, including pipeline materials, volume, flow rates, and discharge regulations, to determine the optimal dechlorination approach. We utilise advanced equipment and monitoring systems to ensure precise chemical dosing or carbon filter management, facilitating complete and efficient dechlorination.
