2.5.2.3.2. In-plant Chlorination

In-plant chlorination has been defined as break-point chlorination of all water as it enters the plant to a degree where a good persisting residual chlorine occurs. In-plant chlorination of processing water is employed in many food industries.

        Chlorine gas is generally considered the best source for in-plant chlorination where large volumes of water are to be chlorinated. But for chlorination by chlorine gas, a chlorination equipment is needed. Hypochlorites are a good source when only small amounts of chlorine are required. Since seafood processing industry requires only small amounts of chlorine, hypochlorites can be used by the industry.
