Hi
Different scenarios and aspects to be considered:
- if the system is for drinking water: all components must comply with local regulations, in USA is NSF or equal
- there is more flexibility is the application is for waste water or industrial effluent
On either case, always is good to compare CAPEX and OPEX and safety issues
CAPEX for gas chlorination can be high if emergency infrastructure is required, like scrubber systems in case of emergency leaks. Gas chlorination close to schools and/or communities is always a concern!
OPEX for gas chlorination we all know are lower as compared with electro chlorination (man hour + salt+ power+parts) For industrial or WWTP effluents sea water can be an option for offset salt consumption.
Not a bad idea to include other options like liquid bleach, UV in your analysis for your disinfection needs
