what is calcium hypochlorite used for?

Calcium hypochlorite is a product recognised and accepted worldwide as a disinfectant for water treatment. It is an effective product, easy to use and simple to apply.

CLORICAL leaves no residues and does not require sophisticated dosing equipment. If stored correctly, it remains chemically stable, retaining the same chlorine content for long periods of time. Because of this, it is useful both in everyday use and when stored for emergency purposes.

to ensure that the water is bacteriologically acceptable, it is necessary to make sure that we have sufficient Chlorine Residual in the water, so regular tests should be carried out to determine this content.

where and how do we dose calcium hypochlorite?

The product CLORICAL is mainly used as a disinfectant in water intended for human consumption, but it also has multiple applications as a sanitising agent in food, public services, buildings, etc.

the most frequent applications of CLORICAL are the following:

Municipal water treatment.

a sufficient quantity of CLORICAL should be dosed so that, once the chlorine demand of the water has been satisfied, a chlorine residual between 0.1 and 0.2 ppm remains after a minimum contact period of 10 minutes.it is usually applied by means of a dosing device that injects the CLORICAL solution into the water as it passes through a designated point. If the use or volume does not justify the use of a dosing device, the product can be added directly.

Treatment of water tanks.

With the use of CLORICAL, algae build-up in water tanks can be controlled. For this purpose, a chlorine residual between 0.2 and 0.5 ppm must be maintained. The product can be applied either by injecting a solution into the feed water before it enters the tank or, in cases where the feed is not continuous or too small, by dosing the product directly onto the surface of the water in a uniform manner.

Tank sanitation.

New tanks or emptied containers must be thoroughly disinfected before use. Once the tank is clean, add 200 grams of CLORICAL for each m3 of capacity and fill the tank. Leave the water in contact for about 4 hours, drain and it is ready for use.for very large capacities, clean all surfaces thoroughly and then spray them with a 1.5 g. per litre solution of CLORICAL (approx. 1000 ppm). When the surfaces are dry, rinse thoroughly, drain the rinse water and put the tank back into service.

Sanitation of drinking water pipes and pipelines.

Spray the section to be disinfected thoroughly. Keep the water flowing under pressure while injecting the 1% available chlorine solution of CLORICAL (approx. 15 g. per litre), continue injecting this solution until 50 ppm residual chlorine is obtained at the other end of the pipe. This chlorine residual should be maintained for 24 hours, after which the entire surface is thoroughly rinsed with potable water. Water samples should be taken and bacteriological analyses carried out over the next 5 days to ensure that disinfection is complete

Treatment of well water.

The most effective method is to introduce CLORICAL into the pump drive line. This also keeps the filter free of sludge. If it is not possible to place a feeder in the delivery line, add CLORICAL in the discharge line of the pump. Add enough CLORICAL to obtain a chlorine residual of at least 0.2 ppm and no more than 0.6 ppm after a contact time of 20 minutes

Emergency disinfection .

In some cases of natural disasters or human failure, the water supply in a community is endangered. In these emergency cases, rapid action is required. Some communities keep CLORICAL in storage in case of an emergency. If necessary, a solution of CLORICAL is prepared and applied through a dispenser or by hand.during emergencies, CLORICAL should be used to chlorinate contaminated water supplies or to purify new water sources

Wastewater treatment .

The use of CLORICAL has increased along with the growth of our ecological awareness and the importance of keeping rivers and lakes clean. Today, CLORICAL is widely used to reduce Biological Oxygen Demand, for odour control, waste treatment and as an aid in the waste coagulation process.although most of the effort is put into water treatment plants, practice tells us that discharges must also be treated before they reach the river, in order to destroy any harmful bacteria they contain. The amount of CLORICAL needed to treat wastewater depends on the type of water to be treated. Raw water may require as much as 30 ppm of available chlorine, while secondary treated water may require as little as 3 ppm.

Disinfection of beverage plants.

cLORICAL can be used in breweries, soft drink plants, vineyards, etc. The use of CLORICAL prevents the growth of bacteria and ensures the purity and fresh taste of the products.in breweries it is used as a general sanitising agent, for pipes, equipment, vats, etc.in soft drink plants, it is used both for the treatment of water supplies and for the disinfection of storage and filling tanks, etc.

Disinfection of plants for the preparation of foodstuffs.

CLORICAL solutions control the growth of bacteria and microorganisms in fish preparation plants, in sugar factories during the sugar refining process, in dairy processing equipment and plants, in the canning industry and in meat preparation plants.

Institutional, commercial and residential sanitation and disinfection.

Food contact surfaces should be cleaned with CLORICAL solutions of 100 to 200 ppm chlorine (1.5 - 3 grams of CLORICAL per 10 litres, approx.), ensuring that the chlorine residual does not drop below 50 ppm, and maintaining a minimum contact time of 10 min. On non-food contact surfaces, equipment should be immersed in a 200 ppm chlorine solution of CLORICAL (3 grams of CLORICAL per 10 litres, approx.), with a minimum contact time of 2 minutes. For general disinfection, a solution of CLORICAL 1000 ppm of available chlorine (1.5 grams of CLORICAL per litre, approx.) is used to wipe the surfaces to be cleaned, leaving the product in contact for 2 minutes, after which the surfaces are rinsed with potable water.in some places where soiling is more important, such as in bathrooms, the surfaces should be sprayed with a CLORICAL solution of 5000 ppm of available chlorine (approx. 8 grams of CLORICAL per litre), with a contact time of at least 10 minutes, and then rinsed with plenty of drinking water.
