The SAL-CHLOR Plant is similar to the SAL system, with exception that the conversion of chlorine occurs in an artificial saturated salt water tank (brine solution).

Brine chlorination systems are well known in industrial applications. It is the principle used for the production of chemical chlorine, and has been utilised in water sanitation by power stations, sewage treatment plants and other applications.

Salt is stored in the brine tank. With potable water added, a saturated salt water solution of approximately 30% salt concentration is created. This brine solution is then further mixed with potable drinking water to a diluted solution, metered by a mixing pump.

The salt water solution is then processed through the electrolytic cells, Delivering: chlorinated water in a single pass system.

Unlike the SAL systems, the SAL-CHLOR Plant consumes salt. The salt in the brine tank must therefore be replenished on a regular basis.
