In the daily operations of many enterprises, water quality issues often become an easily overlooked yet crucial factor. Many enterprises frequently stumble over water quality problems. Digging deeper, it's largely because they fail to understand the "dual nature" of residual chlorine. Now, let's have a detailed explanation from Maideshi, a chlorine sensor Manufacturer specializing in residual chlorine water quality monitoring instruments.
There was once a brewery where the high residual chlorine content in the water severely corroded the production pipelines. The rusty pipelines not only affected the production quality of beer but also led to pipeline maintenance and replacement. The brewery had to halt production for 3 days for repairs, and these 3 days of production stoppage brought huge economic losses to the enterprise. Similarly, a hospital almost faced a serious medical accident due to insufficient residual chlorine in the dialysis water, which caused the bacteria in the water to exceed the standard. These two cases fully illustrate the importance of residual chlorine control.
If an enterprise loses control over residual chlorine, it will have to pay a series of "chain costs". Firstly, the cost will skyrocket. When the residual chlorine in the water is too high, it will accelerate the corrosion of equipment. Problems such as rusty pipelines and accelerated aging of filter elements will occur frequently. According to relevant data statistics, the annual cost of enterprises in equipment maintenance and replacement will increase by 100,000 - 300,000. Secondly, there will be a crisis of trust. When there is an obvious chlorine smell in drinking water or an unpleasant odor in food, consumers will question the product quality, resulting in the enterprise losing long - term customers. Finally, there is a compliance risk. The state has clear standards for the residual chlorine concentration in drinking water, swimming pool water, etc. If the residual chlorine in the enterprise's water quality exceeds the standard, it will face penalties such as fines and production suspension for rectification.
So, how can enterprises precisely control residual chlorine?
This is where the online residual chlorine detector comes in. Traditional manual detection can only be carried out once a day, and the detection results are often delayed. The digital residual chlorine sensor is like a "24 - hour quality inspector". It updates data every second. Once the residual chlorine concentration is abnormal, it will immediately send out an alarm signal. More importantly, it can be linked with chlorine - adding equipment to automatically adjust the residual chlorine content, keeping the residual chlorine at an ideal "neither too high nor too low" state.
The online residual chlorine detector plays an important role in many key application scenarios.
1. In the field of municipal water supply
It can ensure that the residual chlorine at the end of the pipeline meets the standard, preventing bacteria from breeding during the transportation process and thus safeguarding the drinking water safety of residents. Relevant data shows that after using the online detector, the pass rate of municipal water supply quality has significantly increased.
2. In the slaughter/meat processing industry
Insufficient residual chlorine in the cleaning water will lead to excessive microorganisms, which will affect the shelf life of products. By using the online residual chlorine detector for monitoring, the quality inspection risk can be effectively reduced, and the product quality can be improved. In the case of cooling towers/industrial circulating water, too high residual chlorine will corrode metal pipelines, while too low residual chlorine will lead to the growth of biological slime. The online detector can balance the needs of anti - corrosion and sterilization, ensuring the stable operation of the industrial circulating water system.
Residual chlorine is by no means just a simple "disinfection indicator". Only by fully recognizing the importance of residual chlorine and using advanced equipment such as the online residual chlorine detector to precisely control the residual chlorine content can enterprises avoid double losses in cost and reputation and achieve sustainable development.
