Mining operates at remote camps with complicated logistics, potable water for workers, and a need for local chlorine production to maintain operational safety at isolated sites.
ChlorTech® produces 0.6% sodium hypochlorite on site from common salt, water, and electricity. Disinfectant is generated at the point of use, without chlorine gas cylinders or unstable commercial chemical deliveries.
Equipment & Systems Technology has supplied on-site hypochlorite generators to health, industrial, and humanitarian organizations in more than 44 countries.
ChlorTech® produces fresh sodium hypochlorite using only salt, water, and electricity, providing a safe, efficient, and sustainable chlorine source for multiple industries and applications.
Problem
Remote mining camps struggle with complicated logistics, worker potable water needs, confined operation safety, and water treatment in isolated terrain where chemical deliveries are slow, costly, and frequently disrupted.
How chlorine is used
Chlorine disinfects worker potable water, camp kitchens and laundry, process and service water, equipment washdown, and industrial hygiene across confined remote operations.
How ChlorTech® helps
ChlorTech®—including solar models—produces hypochlorite on site using salt and local power, eliminating dependence on drums shipped to remote sites.
Economic, operational & safety benefits
Remote mining camps eliminate the highest-cost part of disinfection—freight—by producing chlorine where workers actually consume water.
- Operating savings: Major reduction in freight to isolated sites, emergency airfreight, and premium pricing for delivered hypochlorite.
- Fewer deliveries: Replace hazardous drum convoys with salt resupply on normal logistics routes—or local procurement where available.
- Safety and compliance: Safer camps with less bulk chemical inventory, reliable potable water for crews, and autonomous operation between resupply windows.
- Return on investment: Remote sites often achieve fast payback when a single avoided production stop or health incident would exceed generator cost.
Why on-site beats delivered chlorine
Local chlorine production is essential where logistics are difficult: fewer truckloads, safer camps, and autonomous operation between deliveries.
Success story
Mining operators deploy ChlorTech® at remote camps to secure worker water and reduce chemical transport across difficult routes.
“Where infrastructure doesn't reach, our technology does.”
