Market Position
ClorTec on-site sodium hypochlorite generating systems from brine have been designed,
manufactured, installed, operated and serviced since 1988 and since that time Severn Trent
Services has installed more than 3,000 ClorTec systems worldwide.
SANILEC and SEACLOR electrochlorination plants, products of Severn Trent De Nora, are
installed in offshore and marine applications accounting for 65 percent of the worldwide installed
operating capacity of on-site hypochlorite generation systems from seawater over the past twenty
years.
OMNIPURE and MARINER OMNIPURE systems, also a product of Severn Trent De Nora, are
the only marine sewage systems that oxidize sewage in the electrochemical cell as well as
generate sodium hypochlorite for the disinfection of the marine waste streams. OMNIPURE
systems have twenty plus years of field installations onboard oceangoing vessels and offshore
production platforms
The combined experience of these endeavors from Severn Trent Services and Severn Trent De
Nora is unparalleled in the electrochemical water treatment markets worldwide.

The diluted brine solution is pumped through an electrolytic cell that, using DC power
from a rectifier, electrolyzes the diluted brine into a 0.8% solution of sodium hypochlorite.
The 0.8% hypochlorite solution flows into a storage tank.
Hydrogen is safely vented to the atmosphere.
A metering pump delivers the disinfectant to an ejection point in the specific application
water treatment system.
Dose rate of the sodium hypochlorite is controlled with a chlorine residual analyzer within
water treatment plants. Severn Trent Services offers the MicroChem2 residual analyzer
and controller.
The benefits of the on-site generation process over chlorine gas and bulk hypochlorite have been
well documented and include:
Eliminate bulk storage of hazardous chemicals
Reduce risk to plant personnel because of drastically eliminate hazardous material
(HazMat) storage and handling requirements;
Remove transportation liabilities, risks and costs
Reduce threat to public safety
Process and risk safety management exemptions
Lower disinfection byproducts
Consistent solution concentration
A simple, cost effective product

Hydrogen Formation
During the generation of sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen (H2) is formed as a primary product. The
ClorTec electrolytic cells and the hypochlorite storage tank are designed to safely separate,
contain and vent hydrogen from the cell directly into the atmosphere. The dilution and dispersal
process is managed by the systems proprietary hydrogen dilution system, which incorporates a
blower that provides ventilation of both the sodium hypochlorite storage tank and the cell
assembly vent stack.
The ClorTec design philosophy addresses hydrogen through:
Natural ventilation to prevent buildup of hydrogen
Maintaining hydrogen concentrations at less than 25% of the 4% LEL or 1% by volume
Four-tier safety interlocks on the generation plant

Applications
ClorTec on-site sodium hypochlorite generating systems are suitable for use in the following
applications:
Potable Water Treatment
Aquatics and Pools
Odor Control/Corrosion Control
Food & Beverage Processing
Wastewater Treatment
Cooling Towers, Inland Power Stations & Industry
Irrigation Systems
Agriculture/Farming

Power Plants
Thermal power plants powered by nuclear energy or fossil fuel located along a seacoast normally
use seawater as a coolant in the steam condensers- typically a once-through cooling water
system. The efficiency of power generation can be significantly increased but controlling the
fouling of the steam condensers. Sodium hypochlorite is introduced to the seawater intake of the
power station where it can prevent the fouling of the mechanical equipment such as the seawater
circulating pumps, bar screen and drum screens.
Cooling Towers
Sodium hypochlorite is generally injected at the intake structure and the intake basin to control
biological growth in open loop seawater cooling tower systems.
LNG Terminals
LNG must go through a liquefaction process prior to loading where chlorinated seawater is used in
the refrigeration process. During unloading, the regassification process uses chlorinated seawater
for the heating process. Sodium hypochlorite, generated onsite, is an excellent chlorine equivalent
for this biofouling control application.
Desalination Plants
In a typical desalination application, sodium hypochlorite generated from seawater is injected in
the intake structure and protects the equipment from organic fouling.

Cooling Water
In applications where seawater is used for cooling, biofouling or the build up of marine growth
reduces the system efficiency, increases the frequency of system maintenance and decreases the
life of process equipment. Severn Trent De Nora offers a skid-mounted system that receives
pressurized seawater and produces sodium hypochlorite at a concentration of 40 to 1660 ppm
that can then be injected, at any point, within the vessel to control marine growth. The product can
be varied 0 to 100 percent to maintain the desired residual.
LNG Terminals
LNG must go through a liquefaction process prior to loading where chlorinated seawater is used in
the refrigeration process. During unloading, the regassification process uses chlorinated seawater
for the heating process. Sodium hypochlorite, generated onsite, is an excellent chlorine equivalent
for this biofouling control application.
Electrolytic Cell
Severn Trent De Nora offers two different mechanical configurations of electrolytic cells for
seawater applications. The best cell configuration is selected for the application. When selecting a
cell configuration application, seawater characteristics, cost, size, weight, pressure, maintenance
and historic preference are considered.

Stage 1: sewage is macerated while Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Organic Carbon
(TOC) and fecal coliform are significantly reduced as the wastewater stream flows through the
patented electrolytic book cell.
Stage 2: is composed of an electrocoagulation (EC) reactor, a gas-liquid separator (Degassing
Column), and a solids-liquid separation tank (Settler). The EC reactor electrolytically enhances the
sewage stream with iron particles that serve as nucleation sites forming a flocculation with the
organic matter that readily drops out of solution. A defoaming agent is injected into the waste
stream between the bookcell and the EC reactor to enhance gas-liquid separation of the stream
exiting the EC reactor. Gas generated in both the book and electrocoagulation cells is removed in
a degassing column mounted on top of the Primary Settler. A proprietary design encourages
disengagement of the entrained process gases from the stream which percolates gently into the
Settler. An internal standpipe provides significant reaction time for solids to fall to the bottom of
the settler. Liquid with minimal solids exits near the top of the Settler tank.
Stage 3: is a second settling (or clarification/concentration) step. The process stream enters
Severn Trent De Noras unique clarifier tank where velocity is kept at a minimum to further
encourage settling of any remaining flocculants to the bottom of the solids Concentrator. This
results in a clear effluent from the top of the Concentrator that meets effluent composition
requirements for MEPC 159(55). The solids from the Settler and Concentrator can be handled by
the operator as a concentrated waste stream or further processed using Severn Trent De Noras
patent-pending solids handling unit.
