Chlorine and Hypochlorite negative:
1. Dry Chlorine requires special handling equipment
2. Specialized Tanks and Permitting required
3. Specialized scrubbers required by OSHA for every addition point
4. Specialized safety protocols and chemical gear
5. Addition points limited to delivery equipment and danger
6. Cheap chemical, with expensive equipment and great danger
7. Active for minutes to about 4 hours.
8. Chlorine lowers the pH of wastewater.
9. Aerobic Digestors blow Chlorine out of the solution often rendering it ineffective at
controlling odors. The only answer is adding more and more Chlorine—a never ending cycle.
10. Being a gas dissolved in water it has limited ability to fight waterbourne odors
11. Kills friendly bacteria
12. Reacts with everything
13. Adds to the Electric Conductivity of wastewater (EC factor)
14. Non-specific chemical requiring large excesses to treat odors and wastes
15. Hypochorite and Chlorine react producing acid in the oxidation process. Hydrogen
16. Can oxidize organic nitrogen molecules all the way to nitrates
By Comparison to Sul-free™:
1. No special handling equipment—rather, Sul-free™ eliminates the need for it.
2. No special tanks —low addition rates mean that drums replace tanks
3. No special permitting
4. No scrubbing sytems required
5. Safety protocols—only general safety like wearing gloves and goggles
6. Addition points not limited by expensive equipment, can be dispensed anywhere
in the system
7. Cheaper than Bleach—with no danger
8. Active for hours to days
9. Increases pH of wastewater—increasing the solubility of Hydrogen Sulfide while it reacts
10. Effective in aerobic digestors—aerosol of product scrubs the air above the liquid.
Heavy vapor covers the solution of aerobic digestors and ponds
11. Sul-free™ can act on air, water or even solids, removing odors safely
12. Sul-free™ at use concentrations does not kill bacteria
13. Reacts specifically with odor chemicals and sulfur compounds
14. Adds no Electrical Conductivity (EC) to water
15. Chemical specific molecules lead to low addition rates—better for the environment
