Design Capacity Calculation of Electrochlorination System

System Capacity = 150 Grams/hr (PCP - 150)

1. Salt required per kg of Cl2 = 4 to 4.5 kg

Capacity of the system
Salt required
Duration of operation
Total salt required
Purity of salt
Salt required per day
2. Brine Tank
Salt required per day
Salt solubility
Per day requirement
Taking 10% extra
Tank size selected
= 150 Grams/hr
= 0.15 x 4.5 = 0.675 kg/hr
= 20 hrs
= 20 x 0.675 = 13.5 kg/day
= 94%
= 14.31 Kg
= 14.5 Kg
= 14.5 Kg
= 300 grams/liter
= 14.5 x 1000 = 48.33 liters/day
300
= 48.33 + 4.83
= 53.163 liters
= 50 liters

3. Brine Pump Capacity

Salt required per hour = 0.675 kg

Requirement of Brine (of 300 grams/hr) = 0.675 x 1000 = 2.25 liters

300
Pump Selected = 0 to 3 lph

4. Water Rotameter
Water required for 1 kg/hr chlorine production = 140 Liters
Water required for 150 grams/hr Cl2 production = 0.15 x 140
= 21 lph
Rotameter Selected = 0 to 20 lph
5. Hypo Tank
Water required for 1 kg/hr chlorine production = 140 Liters
Water required for 150 grams/hr Cl2 production = 0.15 x 140
= 21 liters
For 8 hours storage time = 21 x 8 = 168 liters
Tank capacity selected = 170 liters

6. Hypo Dosing Pump Capacity

Capacity of system = 150 Grams
Capacity of pump = capacity of system = 150
6 6
= 25
Pump Selected = 0 to 25 lph
