Abstract

A process for the production of monochloramine characterized in that it provides for drawing a portion of water intended for the user and exclusively using the portion for preparing the monochloramine solution. The portion intended for the reaction of formation of monochloramine is subjected to a treatment on osmotic membrane, obtaining osmotized water. Subsequently, there is the reaction of the water with reagents in a reactor. In the reaction step, inside the reactor, the osmotized water enters from a first orifice (C) via a solenoid valve with micrometric regulation (EV1). Inside the same reactor, the base chemical products enter via the respective orifices A and B. The base chemical products enter due to the action of metering pumps (e.g. peristaltic pumps). The system is managed by PLC.

Claims

1. A plant for the production of monochloramine, comprising:

a) one osmotic plant;

with pump positioned inside the osmosis plant, which receives the service water and pressurizes it in order to overcome the osmotic pressure, which is required in order for the water to pass through osmotic membranes, giving the residue required to feed a dilution circuit;

b) one reaction reactor in which the osmotized water enters into a first orifice by means of micrometric regulation of a charging solenoid valve;

the reactor also bearing two further orifices of the reagents set for the reaction;

said reactor is a cylindrical container whose lower base bears an outlet mouth for the connection with produced monochloramine storage tank, while the upper base of the reactor has at least two openings through which the reagent and reagent solutions enter which take part in the reaction;

the aforesaid orifice being laterally arranged in the lateral cylindrical jacket of the reactor with non-radial direction;

a point inside the reactor identifies the point of contact between the introduction of the reagent and of the osmotized water; and

c) one produced monochloramine storage tank, in which the monochloramine solution produced by the reactor is stored and made available for metering to user(s).

2. The plant according to claim 1, wherein at entrance, there is a pressure control reducer, with which said pressure is controlled to values of 2-5 bar. to remove reference numerals.
