Sodium Hypochlorite Production

Sodium Hypochlorite Batch Production System

Sodium Hypochlorite can be produced using either a batch production method, such as with the Powell Sodium Hypochlorite Batch System or in greater volumes using a continuous method.

 

 

Continuous production of sodium hypochlorite can be achieved with the Powell Continuous Sodium Hypochlorite Dry Liquid/Vapor System or with the Powell Continuous Sodium Hypochlorite System that uses wet vapor chlorine from electrolytic cells.Sodium Hypochlorite Production using wet vapor chlorine from electrolytic cells.
