Liquid chlorine injection device

Abstract

The present invention is a Liquid Chlorine Injection Device (“LCID”) that is used in conjunction with a separate sewage treatment device to disinfect treated sewage effluent prior to discharge to ground. LCID basically comprises a vessel for containing liquid disinfectant, such as household chlorine bleach, a pumping mechanism, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism senses whether the effluent in the pump tank of a sewage treatment plant needs additional disinfectant, and if so, it activates the pumping mechanism. The pumping mechanism draws liquid disinfectant from the vessel and injects it into the pump tank until the proper disinfectant level is attained within the pump tank. LCID may also include liquid level sensors within the vessel, which notify the owner whenever additional liquid disinfectant needs to be added to the system.
