Sodium Hypochlorite (Liquid Bleach) – 25 kg Jerrycan | UV Water Systems Oman

Sodium hypochlorite at 12–15% active chlorine is the most versatile liquid disinfectant in the water treatment industry. Water tanks in Oman’s residential, commercial, and industrial facilities accumulate bacteria, algae, and biofilm over time, particularly during the summer months when ambient temperatures accelerate microbial growth in above-ground storage. Proper tank sanitisation with sodium hypochlorite at prescribed doses eliminates these contamination risks. UV Water Systems supplies sodium hypochlorite in 25 kg jerrycan quantities to clients across Muscat and Oman, providing a reliable source of liquid chlorine for tank disinfection, system sanitisation, and emergency treatment applications.

How Sodium Hypochlorite Disinfects

In water, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) dissociates to release hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the active disinfecting species. HOCl penetrates bacterial cell membranes and inactivates enzymes, killing a broad spectrum of pathogens including E. coli, Legionella, Pseudomonas, and most waterborne viruses within seconds at concentrations of 0.5–2 mg/L. For tank sanitisation, a shock dose of 50–100 mg/L is applied, held for 30 minutes, and then flushed before return to service. Sodium hypochlorite also serves as a biocide in RO pre-treatment — injected at 1–3 mg/L ahead of activated carbon or SMBS dechlorination — to control biofilm in feed water pipelines.

Key Features and Benefits

Immediate disinfection action: Liquid hypochlorite dissolves instantly in water without agitation, providing immediate chlorine residual for fast tank and system turnaround in emergency situations.
Cost-effective for large volumes: At 12–15% concentration, a single 25 kg jerrycan treats a large water volume — more economical per unit of active chlorine than retail-grade bleach at 4–6%.
Broad pathogen kill spectrum: Effective against bacteria, algae, viruses, and most protozoans at recommended contact concentrations, covering all common Oman waterborne pathogens.
Easy dosing and dilution: Liquid form is directly dilutable with water using standard pumps and dosing equipment. No dissolving step required, unlike solid chlorine products.
Multi-purpose application: Used for tank sanitisation, pipeline disinfection, cooling tower biocide treatment, membrane preservation, and emergency water treatment across residential and industrial sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much bleach do I need to sanitise a 10,000-litre water tank? To achieve a 50 mg/L shock dose in 10,000 litres using 12% sodium hypochlorite, you need approximately 4.2 litres of product. UV Water Systems can calculate precise doses based on your tank volume and target chlorine level.

Does sodium hypochlorite degrade in storage? Yes — hypochlorite loses approximately 20% of its active chlorine per month in warm storage conditions. In Oman’s summer heat, degradation is faster. UV Water Systems delivers fresh stock and advises clients on correct storage practices to preserve strength.
