Chlorine comparison

1. Chlorine gas is never under pressure in the REGAL system. In the
REGAL Gas Chlorinator, the gas is drawn from the tank by a vacuum
created by the flow of water through the ejector (where the chlorine is
mixed with water). If the vacuum line breaks -- if, in fact, any part of
the vacuum line is damaged -- the gas shuts off immediately and
automatically. So there is virtually no possibility of a leak with a
REGAL Gas Chlorinator. (In the old pressure type chlorinators, pressure
from the tank pushed the gas to the chlorinator. If the pressure line
broke, chlorine would leak out unimpeded.)

2. In the REGAL Gas Chlorinator, the ejector and diffuser (where the
chlorine is dissolved in the water before being treated) are part of the
same corrosion component.

3. The REGAL Gas Chlorinator clamps down directly onto the cylinder
valve with a heavy duty vise-type yoke -- the strongest most
corrosion-resistant in the industry. That's a good demonstration of
REGAL's "Safety by Design" principle that extends to all the vital parts
in the REGAL Gas Chlorinator. Our vital parts are, without exception,
bigger and stronger and far more corrosion resistant.

And the three most vital parts are warranteed for life!
1. Each REGAL Gas Chlorinator is hand-assembled by a highly trained
technician who is responsible for in-process visual inspection and bench
testing every unit he or she produces.  Only when the technician is
satisfied with the unit does it go to the REGAL testing room. There it
is tested vigorously to measure its operating performance* to check its
vacuum integrity, and to make absolutely certain it has no gas leaks.  *
Performance can be tested against actual operating conditions in the
intended application, if data is supplied with the order.

2. The REGAL Gas Chlorinator's efficient, simple design involves only 68
parts . . . all made up of quality materials that stand up to wet and
dry, and even liquid chlorine.

3.  REGAL's efficient, high pressure ejector has 60% fewer parts than
any competitor's. It is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, for
strength, and to eliminate cracking.  Both the chlorinator and the
ejector are so rugged, so corrosion resistant, that they need little
servicing. When they do, you can take them completely apart and
reassemble them in minutes, using only a screwdriver and pair of pliers.

4. Our ejector has a one-piece nozzle and no nuts or bolts. It won't
corrode and it will take 200 PSI.
1.The REGAL ejector produces higher vacuums at lower water pressures
enabling you to use economical centrifuge-type booster pumps.


2.The REGAL ejector's unique one-piece high pressure check valve reduces
wear or damage from high back pressure, water hammer, or continual
on/off operating cycles.  Further, where lower back pressures are
involved, REGAL offers a valve which combines a strong closing spring,
for a tight seal with a large diaphragm, for minimum friction loss or
pressure drop. The REGAL is the one gas chlorinator that offers this
choice, avoiding a "compromise" design which inevitably results in
leakage, wear, and damage.

3.A reusable plug-type filter in the yoke and cuts cleaning costs costs.
 The exclusive REGAL reusable plug-type filer removes impurities, yet
permits flow rates as high as as 500 lbs./day (10kg/hr) (This reduces
deposits of contaminates which can prevent shut off valves from closing
``bubble-tight" in case of vacuum line breakage or other vacuum loss.
 (Impurities inherent in the gas producing process are a major cause of
maintenance problems.)

4."Seatless" rate valve can't wear or damage seat.  The rate valve seats
in most chlorinators are frequently damaged or gouged at low feed rates,
or when used to shut off chlorine flow. This can't happen with the REGAL
rate valve, because it doesn't have a seat.
1. Easy To Service - Simple Design with fewer parts makes REGAL
operator-friendly. Only 68 parts compared to more complex brands with as
many as 168 hard-to-find parts. MADE IN THE U.S.A.

2. Lowers Maintenance Costs - The sum of all REGAL parts is less than
the price of a complete unit. Our shipment of parts is fast and can
usually be shipped within 48 hours. REGAL PARTS ARE MADE IN THE U.S.A.

3. Eliminates Costly Replacement of 3 Critical Parts - In addition to
the limited lifetime warranty on the diaphragm and inlet safety valve
spring, the inlet adapter is guaranteed against corrosion.

4. Optimizes Safety When Changing Cylinders - Containers unique yoke
design with chip and corrosion resistant coating prevents unsafe
deterioration. Built in yoke handle eliminates wrenches and prevents
over tightening.

5. Longer Service Life - REGAL materials are the most chlorine and
corrosion resistant that modern day technology can provide. MADE IN THE
U.S.A.

6. Trouble Free Ejector - Simple one piece nozzle, one piece body, no
nuts, no bolts, and 60% fewer parts make it a breeze to service.

7. Reduces Failures Due To CL2/SO2 Contaminates - Reusable plug-type
filter removes micro-fine impurities

8. Eliminates Critical Down Time - Factory rebuild program can be
completed in one or two days in emergency cases. Loaner program is
available.

9. Less Maintenance And Repair Costs - Fewer parts = Longer life, lower
repair costs, and less ``DOWN" time.
The following chart was developed as a guideline to help you determine
the most efficient, cost effective means of chlorination for your
particular treatment system.

Available Chlorine
Chlorine Gas contains 100% available chlorine
Calcium Hypochlorite (dry granular) contains 65% available chlorine.
Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid) contains 10% available chlorine (average).

Based on the chlorine content it is necessary to feed different amounts
of each to achieve the same disinfection level. To arrive at actual
costs, use the following ratios. • 1 Pound of Chlorine Gas (CL2) =
1.2 Gallons of Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) • 1 Pound of Chlorine Gas
(CL2) = 1.5 Pounds of Calcium Hypochlorite Ca(OCl)2

The best way to understand the impact of savings to be realized is to
equate the costs into a monthly figure. First, fill in the line
representing your method of chlorination. Calculate the amount of
chemical you use each month and apply it to the following chart. (Since
prices vary by geographic location, contact your local supplier for
prices of the other two methods.)

Using a monthly total is a reasonable comparison because it balances
fluctuation in usage over a period of time. A yearly figure is more
reflective of annual budgeting costs. Simply multiply the total by
twelve.

Objective analysis using actual figures allows every system to be
evaluated individually. The comparison presents the costs in a factual
manner and simplifies the decision making process.
The Three methods of chlorination: gas, liquid, and granulated or
tablet, have characteristics which should be considered when choosing a
disinfection method. Suitability should be consistent with all the needs
of the system. Although disinfection is the primary consideration,
safety, handling, storage, rate of usage, availability of product and
costs are all factors which must be considered. Since no two systems are
exactly alike, an objective analysis is necessary to insure the best
possible method for any given facility. By addressing some of the
characteristics of the three methods, it will be easier to assess the
one that most suits your specific needs.
