SUPERIOR™ Chlor-Clear™ Liquid Chlorine Eductor Tube

Evacuator for Ton Containers (Patent Pending)

WHAT DOES IT DO?The CHLOR-CLEAR™ device is intended to evacuate(remove) liquid Chlorine which may be trapped in the UPPEREductor Tube of a Chlorine Ton Container prior to changingcontainers. This is to prevent the introduction of liquidChlorine into a gas chlorinator system whenever a new TonContainer is brought into service. Whenever a Chlorine TonContainer is rotated into the service position, it is highly likelythat some amount of liquid Chlorine is trapped in the uppereductor tube inside the container (see FIGURE2). When theTon Container is attached to a chlorinator system, this liquidChlorine must pass out of the eductor tube and into thechlorinator system. Normally,heated drip legs or traps areinstalled to collect this liquidChlorine and allow it toevaporate harmlessly. However, when a chlorinatorsystem is operating at highflow rates, liquid Chlorine canbypass the drip legs or trapsand enter the chlorinatorsystem, possibly causingserious damage. TheCHLOR-CLEAR™ deviceattaches to a chlorine toncontainer with a standardchlorine yoke inlet and leadwasher. A disposableNitrogen gas cartridgeattaches to a puncture deviceon the CHLOR-CLEAR™ assembly which allows pressurizednitrogen gas to flow through the upper eductor tube and force

any trapped liquid chlorine back into the ton container.

WHY DO I NEED THE CHLOR-CLEAR?Aside from the damage that liquid chlorine can cause tosome brands of gas chlorination equipment, it also leavesbehind various residues and impurities when it evaporates inthe vacuum areas of the chlorinator. These impurities cancause sticking and/or plugging of orifices which necessitatesfrequent cleaning, if not replacement of parts, in the case ofchemical damage caused by the reaction of liquid chlorinewith materials such as PVC. Additionally, the liquid thatsettles in the ton contianer eductor tube invariably containsstirred up sediment from the rolling of the containers intoposition for withdrawal of the gas. This sediment, whichoften contains large amounts of ferric chloride, is supposedto be trapped in some type of liquid drip leg trap beforeentering the vacuum regulator. Even when the ejectorvacuum is turned off, the liquid that evaporates in the drip legtrap leaves behind a brownish, mud-like goo that often plugsup the piping to the point where no chlorine can pass

through. Use of the CHLOR-CLEAR™, before attachingyour gas chlorination equipment to a new ton container, willeliminate these problems before they even have a chanceto start.

FEATURES1. The CHLOR-CLEAR™ device attaches to a Chlorine TonContainer with a standard chlorine yoke inlet and leadwasher.

2. A disposable Nitrogen gas cartridge attached to apuncture device on the CHLOR-CLEAR™ assembly.

3. When the Ton Container valve is opened briefly, it allowspressurized nitrogen gas toflow through the upper eductortube.

4. Any trapped liquid chlorineis forced back into the tonContainer.

5. After use of the CHLOR-CLEAR™ device, the ChlorineTon Container is immediatelyready to be placed intoservice.

6. A safety check valveprevents the escape ofChlorine gas if the Nitrogengas cartridge is detachedaccidentally.

7. The controlled amount of Nitrogen gas introduced isnegligible and is chemically inert to the chlorine.

8. Increases life of chlorine gas filter media in vacuumregulators.

9. Prevents danger of trapping chlorine liquid betweenvalves which can cause damage to vacuum regulator inletvalves.

CHLOR-CLEAR DIMENSIONS & COMPONENTS

EASY TO OPERATE

1. Remove the empty ton container fromservice.

2. Place the new ton container into serviceposition.

3. Attach the CHLOR-CLEAR™ assembly tothe ton container valve.

4. Install the Nitrogen gas cartridge into theCHLOR-CLEAR™ assembly by screwing itinto the puncture device until it bottoms out.

5. Open the ton container valvecounterclocwise one-quarter (¼) to one-half(½) turn to allow Nitrogen gas to flow into theton container.

6. Wait approx. THREE (3) seconds for thepressure to equalize.

7. CLOSE the ton container valve clockwise,fully.

8. Remove the CHLOR-CLEAR™ assemblyfrom the ton container valve.

9. Remove the depleted Nitrogen gas cartridgefrom the puncture device and discard.

10. Place gas chlorinator vacuum regulator orflexible connector onto the ton container gasvalve.

SPECIFICATION

The chlorine ton container gas valve eductortube clearing device shall be the SUPERIOR CHLOR-CLEAR™ Liquid Chlorine Eductor TubeEvacutor, Model TCC-1, manufactured byChemical Injection Technologies, Inc., Ft.Pierce, Florida, USA.

The chlorine ton container gas eductor tubeclearing device shall consist of a positive, yoketype chlorine gas valve connector for directlymounting the CHLOR-CLEAR™ assembly ontothe upper (gas) valve of the ton container; a non-corroding PVDF inlet adaptor to mate with thevalve; a stainless steel nitrogen cartridgepuncture device; and a check valve to preventescape of chlorine gas in the event that thenitrogen cartridge is removed prior to closing theton container chlorine gas valve.

The CHLOR-CLEAR™ device shall evacuateany liquid chlorine and impurity residues fromthe gas eductor tube prior to placing the chlorinegas feeding equipment into service.
