Emergency Dechlorination Mats and Bags |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Great for emergencies or "measures of
last resort."
In a main break situation, chlorinated potable water may be flooding
to where it will reach sensitive receiving waters.
First responders can use the Dechlormats to achieve significant
dechlorination until the situation can be brought under control.

Dechlorstrip has 6
pockets and 2 heavy duty grommets - great for dechlorinating potable
water where no other methods are available. |
Dechlormat has 24
pockets and 8 heavy duty grommets that can be tent staked into the
ground to keep the bag in place.
Great for water main breaks and emergency
dechlorination of water. Make them part of your BMP's!

Keep your Emergency Dechlorinating
Bags in place and channel water over the tablets using either a Snap
or Tie Bag and Gravel.
These bags are 4" Wide x 30" Long and
work better than sand bags as they don't leak sand.
Ever try sweeping sand away on asphalt?
And they drain after use! Ever try lifting a wet sand bag? |

ESTIMATING THE NUMBER OF TABLETS NEEDED
 The typical
scenario when using Dechlormats involves getting a
situation under control.
Chlorinated water is escaping either into a
ditch or creek bed or it
may enter a storm drain intercept. The problem is that
chlorinated water may be reach sensitive
receiving waters.
How many tablets are required?
Usually it is a case of "the more
the better." One LPD-Chlor tablet will neutralize 16,000 gallons
of water at Cl2 = 1 ppm, but to achieve this, it must be
completely dissolved and thoroughly mixed. In a flowing
situation, the rate at which a tablet will dissolve depends upon
the rate at which water is flowing over it.
The capacity to neutralize depends on how much water flows per
tablet. In practice, one should channel the water so that the
stream flows over the full width of the Dechlormat. If the
stream is more than a few inches thick, a second Dechlormat
should be put in series with the first mat. If possible, collect
and test a sample 20 or 30 feet down stream of the mats. This
will demonstrate if more tablets/mats are required. When the
tablets reach half their original size, new tablets should be
added.

Our Dechlorinating Bags and Sleeves work
well for situations where and when nothing else will work and should be
used with 4 ppm or less chlorinated water. Our thought is that some
measure of dechlorination is better than none. Available in 6 or 24
tablet sizes they work well with LDP-CHLOR or Vita-D-Chlor Tablets.
The Mats and Strips are constructed from
coated polyester fabric . The Dechlor Bags have heavy-duty grommets to
enable you to stake down the mat.
