Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a clear, pale yellow liquid widely used in water treatment as a disinfectant and oxidizing agent. It effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and algae in municipal and industrial water systems. Known for its fast action and cost efficiency, it’s commonly used for chlorination and odor control. Sodium Hypochlorite decomposes into salt and water, making it an effective and safe solution when handled and stored properly. Chemical Formula: NaOCl Chemical Code: 7681-52-9 (CAS Number)

Disinfection of drinking water and wastewater

Disinfection is a crucial step in water and wastewater treatment that kills or inactivates pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, protozoa) to protect public health.

Chlorination in municipal water treatment plants

Chlorination is the most widely used method for disinfecting municipal drinking water due to its effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and ability to provide residual protection throughout the distribution system.

Algae and biofilm control in cooling towers and reservoirs

Cooling towers and reservoirs provide ideal environments for algae and biofilm growth due to warm temperatures, sunlight (in reservoirs), and nutrient-rich water.
