In a recent development, Severn Trent Services has advanced on-site generation technology through an enhanced proprietary electrode coating. The coating provides for greater operational efficiency, significantly reducing the consumption of salt and electricity. Through this innovative technology, water and wastewater facilities can reduce their carbon footprint by decreasing the use of salt and electricity; reducing salt levels in product water and discharge to the environment; and minimizing the need for salt delivery to the facility, thus lowering CO2 emissions.

On-site generation is a proven, cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative disinfection treatment method that reduces the formation of disinfection byproducts and improves water quality. Severn Trent Services has more than 25 years of electrochlorination experience, and the ClorTec system is the leading on-site sodium hypochlorite generating technology globally, with more than 3,000 systems installed since 1995.
