On-site chlorine generation has proven to be a solution for tackling water and wastewater treatment problems overseas. Now De Nora is bringing its popular version of the technology – CECHLO-MS 200 – to the North American market.
CECHLO-MS 200 systems were first introduced in 2021 and quickly adopted into projects in Hong Kong, Korea and Australia. Since then, the company has continuously used customer feedback to standardize the design and introduce enhancements that optimize footprint and ease of use. The plug-and-play skid-mounted MS 200 systems leverage a chlor-alkali process technology already installed at 450 sites. These systems feature DSA electrodes and high-efficiency ion exchange membranes, which are trusted to support approximately 70% of global chlorine production.
“CECHLO-MS 200 is an on-site chlorine generator that can safely produce either high strength, 12.5% sodium hypochlorite or chlorine gas and caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) using just three simple and common consumables — salt, water and electricity,” says Krishnan Sadasivam, global business development director for the CECHLO systems. “The product is an ideal solution for decentralizing bulk hypo supply chains to cater to both small and large utilities. Markets where the best results and economics can be achieved include municipal/wastewater treatment, desalination plants and industrial water treatment.”
According to Sadasivam, the technology mitigates risks associated with delivering and storing hazardous chemicals. CECHLO-MS 200 modular systems generate from 550 to 6,600 pounds per day of free chlorine and treat more than 264 mgd with low power consumption and no unwanted byproducts, offering maximum efficiency in an ESG-conscious solution. Modular systems come fully automated with remote monitoring capabilities that do not require special training or certifications. Their flexible design enables customers to easily curtail production output, adding capacity without increasing footprint and offering decentralized operations for fresh disinfectant at a reduced cost.
The initiative will streamline procurement and strengthen local support for municipal and industrial partners using CECHLO-MS systems for on-site chlorine generation, a proven solution that enhances sustainability and futureproofs water and wastewater treatment operations against chemical market volatility.
“This lets municipalities futureproof their supply chains against price increases in the chemical market,” says Sadasivam. “It features a small footprint, is easy to operate and install, and has low overall operating costs.”
