The traditional method used sodium hypochlorite (bleach) as a disinfectant in cooling systems, but this approach not only caused corrosion in equipment but also led to high water consumption and resource wastage, Arvand Petrochemical’s Public Relations said. The new method, however, replaces sodium hypochlorite with pure chlorine gas injected by precise chlorination packages. This not only enhances disinfection efficiency and removes algae and bacteria but also significantly reduces water consumption.
As the chlorine required for this project is produced by Arvand Petrochemical itself, implementing this system will lead to economic savings, reduce dependency on purchasing auxiliary chemicals, and improve environmental sustainability.
The use of chlorine gas packages in cooling systems could result in a 30% reduction in water consumption and a 20% increase in thermal efficiency, a significant advantage in times of water shortages and energy constraints.
