Abstract
A method and apparatus for producing a biocide from a hypochlorite oxidant and an ammonium salt are provided. The method includes monitoring a control parameter to optimize the ratio between the hypochlorite oxidant and the ammonium salt. The control parameter may be oxidation-reduction potential, conductivity, induction or oxygen saturation.
Claims13
Apparatus for producing a biocide, comprising:
- a reservoir containing a solution of a hypochlorite oxidant;
- a reservoir containing a solution of an ammonium salt having a concentration from about 15-50%;
- a water source;
- a conduit for mixing said solution of a hypochlorite oxidant solution with said water to form a hypochlorite dilution having a concentration from about 1,000 to about 20,000 ppm;
- a conduit for mixing said solution of an ammonium salt with a portion of said hypochlorite dilution to form an ammonium salt dilution;
- and
- a mixing chamber for mixing a portion of said hypochlorite dilution with said ammonium salt dilution to form a biocide.
