Written by Adrian Diaz | Dec 30, 2024 4:11:06 PM

In water treatment and disinfection, the choice of method significantly impacts safety, environmental sustainability, and operational efficiency. Traditionally, chlorine gas has been a common disinfectant; however, its associated risks have prompted many facilities to transition to On-Site Hypochlorite Generation (OSHG) systems.

 

These case studies highlight a growing trend toward safer and more sustainable disinfection methods in the water treatment sector.

Conclusion

The inherent risks associated with chlorine gas have led many water treatment facilities to adopt On-Site Hypochlorite Generation systems. OSHG offers enhanced safety, environmental benefits, and operational reliability, making it a preferred choice for modern water disinfection needs.
