Chlorine sodium chlorite solid generator

Chlorine Gas/Sodium Chlorite Solid Generator Systems... 

On-site generation is necessary because the compressed liquid is explosive at room temperature. It is an unstable gas and, therefore, is not stored or sent in bulk. It is most commonly produced by reacting chlorine with sodium chlorite. There are several generation system choices using chlorine solution, chlorine gas and chlorite solution, or solid chlorite (Figure 3-11). Chlorite solution spills should be neutralized with sodium sulfite. Do not use sodium bisulfite. 

The feed rate of chlorine and sodium chlorite is linked to the feed of chlorine dioxide because these are the primary chemicals used in most generation systems. The most common sources of chlorine are compressed gas and liquid sodium hypochlorite (12 percent trade is a common solution strength). Sodium chlorite is commonly used as a solid (about 65 percent sodium chlorite) and as a 25 percent strength solution.
