This paper presents information that should be considered when evaluating chlorine system alternatives. Chlorine system alternatives include: chlorine gas, bulk sodium hypochlorite, and on-site generated sodium hypochlorite, as well as on-site generation of chlorine gas. The criteria that should be considered in the evaluation of the alternatives include reliability, water quality, safety, O&M requirements and costs. The purpose of this study is not to recommend one alternative over another, but to present the analysis process.
