Compared to Chlorine compounds Bromine offers some advantages for disinfection purposes:
- Higher disinfection effect at higher pH values
- Lower volatility at higher temperatures
- Less promotion of corrosion
- Less generation of odours and irritation of the mucous membrane by abreacted Bromine compounds (compound Bromine)
Application areas
- Disinfection of cooling tower water
- Disinfection of swimming pool and whirl pool water on cruise liners
Organic and anorganic free Bromine chemicals are used generally for Bromine measurement. Organic Bromine chemicals are:
- DBDMH (1,3-Dibromine-5,5-Dimethyl-Hydantoin) labelled e.g. as Albrom 100® in trade
- BCDMH (1-Bromine-3-Chlorine-5,5-Dimethyl-Hydantoin) labelled e.g. as Bromine-Sticks® in trade.
These Bromine chemicals are offered as solid and are dosed as satured solutions via so-called "Bromine-locks".
Anorganic free Bromine is generated through the so-called Acti-Bromine-Procedure® (Acti-Brom-Verfahren®, Nalco) with Sodium Hypochlorite and Sodium bromide. The Bromine species can be present in various shapes and ambients depending on the type of the Bromine-containing disinfectant and the composition of the process water.
Our Program offers the following Advantages:
- Measurement of the Bromine reagent with the highest importance for disinfection
- Exact and reliable real time measurement
- Use in sensor technology in various water qualities (pH, salt content, temperature, filth charge)
- Easy modular integration in processes of all sensors required for the entire solution via suitable fittings
- Control devices with staged capacities adjusted to the requirements
- Easy calibration by means of the complete Photometer kit (type DT1, DPD-based method)
- For frequently arising tasks: complete standardized measuring and metering stations as plug&play modules with optimally inter-adjusted components.
