Chlorine Removal from Water
Understanding the Chlorine Contaminant
Chlorine is commonly added to municipal water supplies as a disinfectant to kill bacteria and other pathogens. While effective for disinfection, chlorine can leave an unpleasant taste and odor in water, and long-term exposure may have health risks, including skin irritation and respiratory issues.
Solutions for Removal
- Activated Carbon Filtration: Adsorbs chlorine and its byproducts, improving taste and odor.
- Catalytic Carbon: Enhances the removal of chloramines, a byproduct of chlorine treatment.
- Reverse Osmosis: Removes chlorine and other impurities using a semi-permeable membrane.
- Chemical Dosing System: Doses dechlorination chemicals like sulfur dioxide or sodium bisulfite to neutralize chlorine, often used as a pre-treatment for other filtration systems.
Applications
Chlorine removal is essential for residential, commercial, and industrial water systems to improve water quality and ensure safety.
Benefits of Removal
Eliminating chlorine enhances water taste, reduces health risks, and protects plumbing and appliances from corrosion.
