Evoqua Water Technologies OSEC L electrolyser

Evoqua Water Technologies has introduced the OSEC L electrolyser, a water disinfection system that creates sodium hypochlorite on-site and on demand. Compact, easy to install and easy to use, the product offers push-button operation, plug-and-play installation and a footprint roughly 50% smaller than other on-site generators, according to the company.

An inherently safe alternative to chlorine, sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite, the system does not require handling of any hazardous chemicals. The generator produces a dilute hypochlorite solution <1.0 wt% concentration using saturated brine (salt), water and electricity in an electrochemical process. With an embedded process controller, the system is fully automated and can work in batching or direct feed operation modes.

The product offers up to 20 ppd chlorine equivalent with interchangeable OSEC cartridges. Treated water is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 drinking water standards. It has long service intervals.

Applications include: drinking water, remote chlorination stations and well sites; commercial aquatics, pools, theme parks, splash pads and spas; industrial process water, light manufacturing and cooling towers; healthcare and institutional facilities; agricultural, irrigation and water re-use.
