Calcium-Hypochlorite System Reduces Costs, Improves Safety

摘要

After dealing with ongoing issues from its 10-year-old chlorine gas system, Chandler Heights Citrus and Irrigation District switched to the Accu-Tab~® tablet chlorination system from PPG Industries to reduce costs, improve safety and minimize maintenance and liability. Located about 30 miles southeast of Phoenix, the Chandler Heights system was originally designed for irrigating citrus groves. Today, it serves 786 residential connections and a few remaining citrus operations over a two-square-mile area. Three wells feed into two tanks, with multiple chlorine injection points. Average treatment rate is 1 mgd, with a peak rate of 1.3 mgd.
