We ran a cost analysis because it has been assumed gas chlorine was the lowest cost for wastewater disinfection. Low-salt sodium hypochlorite 12% came out on top mostly due to reduced maintenance, equipment and safety training costs.

Electro-chlorinators are used at our water plant, so we had an idea of the maintenance and cost of operation. We are required to have redundancy, two water softeners, two brine pumps, two 50Kg/D electro chlorinators, and two feed pumps. The hypochlorite system has a tank and two feed pumps.
