S10K SONIC CHLORINATOR

INTRODUCTION The S10k chlorinator is an all vacuum operated, sonically regulated unit. Direct cylinder mounting puts the vacuum-regulating valve right at the source, reducing gas pressure to a vacuum immediately. It provides for economic low capacity gas feed applications for municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment and disinfection, swimming pools and industrial process water. Its ability to handle all water treatment gases as well as its flexible mounting configurations for cylinders, manifolds or ton containers provides versatility for all installations. Two basic arrangements are available in capacities of 200 and 500 pounds per day of chlorine gas. With fewer internal parts, you can be confident that the S10k will provide reliable, dependable service. FEATURES Positive Indication of Operating Status Built-in Automatic Switchover Built-in switchover eliminates the need for external switching devices. The nonisolating feature allows cylinders to be
standby* operating empty off

Unique Secondary Check The 500 PPD regulator includes a unique secondary check designed to confine gas under pressure should the primary valve seat not completely due to contamination. This minimizes the possibility of venting gas to atmosphere.

design is used for ammonia cylinders. A ton container kit includes a drip leg, to trap initial spurts of liquid, a heater for evaporation and a replaceable filter. Handles all Water Treatment Gases The unit can handle all typical water treatment gases e.g. chlorine, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and ammonia. Detachable Rotameters Two sizes of rotameters, 3 and 5, are available in 15 capacities between 1.2 500 PPD chlorine (comparable capacities for other gases). These flowmeters can be integral to the unit, or mounted remote, fo rinstallation flexibility. Rotameters can be ganged together for multiple points of application.

emptied thoroughly, for complete gas consumption.

Easy to read icons provide positive indication of cylinder status. The operator can tell at a glance whether the container is in the standby status (for automatic switchover) operating, empty or off. Positive Shutoff An OFF position on the face of the regulator allows for positive shutoff. Containers can be changed without admitting air, dirt or moisture into the control unit and without shutting off the injector. Captive Universal Yoke Mounting A unique self aligning captive yoke clamp makes it easy to line up and connect the chlorinator to the gasketed outlet of a container valve. The rugged yoke is designed to Chlorine Institute recommendation per drawing 189. A similar captive yoke

Easy to Install, Operate and Maintain The S10k chlorinator is simple in design, compact and easy to handle. Injector installation only requires connecting to a water supply and running plastic tubing to a main or open channel. A knob adjustment on the rotameter changes gas feed rate, which is indicated on a high resolution 3" or 5" scale. Accuracy Gas feed is 4% of the indicated flow. Operating Range Manual 20:1 for any flowmeter. Automatic 10:1. Control Modes Manual control, start-stop or program, flow proportional, direct residual, compound-loop, multiple rate control and multiple point operation. Distance, Supply to the Control Unit For flexibility, it is not necessary to install the vacuum regulating valve close to the control unit. It can be up to several hundred feet from the gas control unit, depending on maximum feed rate, the diameter of the connecting pipe or tubing and system performance requirements. Injector Operating Water Injector operating water must be reasonably clean. Injectors are fixed-throat differential type. Maximum inlet pressure

is 300 psi to a maximum of 100 F; 150 psi to a maximum of 130 F. Pressure at Application Point Maximum pressure with hose or polyethylene tubing is 75 psi. High pressure hose or rigid pipe will allow application against back pressure of 75 to 160 psi. A solution pump after the injector will allow application against higher pressure. Swimming Pools For non-residential swimming pool applications a unique package is available. AUTOMATIC CONTROL The S10k can accommodate automatic feed rate control from simple to complex schemes. The control system consists of an actuator and either SCU (Signal Conditioning Unit) or PCU (Process Control Unit). SCU (see TI 40.100UA) Operating Modes: Flow proportional, manual Inputs: 4-20 mA DC (from flow transmitter) Outputs: Control out to actuator; also 4-20 mA output for retransmission of gas feed rate (actuator position) Control Capability: Dosage and flow scaling PCU (see TI 40.200UA) Operating Modes: Direct residual feed back, compound loop, feed forward, flow proportional, manual Ranges: Setpoints up to 50 mg/l and center-zero capability for dechlorination

Control Logic: Proportional and integral with lag Alarms: 4 user-configurable alarms for 16 different conditions OPTIONS Related options include: cylinder valves and connections; header valves with manifolding and connections; vent; injector water and injector outlet lines and clamps; main connections; solenoid valves; water line pressure gauge; high vacuum pressure switch and alarm; gas mask; chlorine detectors; on line analysers; two cylinder scales; residual test kits; injector vacuum gauges; spare parts. Chlorine Gas Warning All unattended chlorine gas containers and chlorination equipment should be monitored for leaks. Sensitive chlorine detectors, which respond quickly to chlorine in the atmosphere, should be installed at each site. See Technical Data Sheet TI 50.130UA for further details. Carbon Dioxide Warning Because of the high pressure in carbon dioxide containers, the vacuum regulating valve cannot be mounted directly on the container. A pressure reducing valve and pressure relief valve must be installed between the container and the vacuum regulating valve.
