SMBSS
Sodium metabisulfite [SMBS] is the typical chlorine reducing agent of choice for larger RO systems. A dosing rate of 2.0 to 3.0 ppm SMBS per 1.0 ppm chlorine so as to include an industrial safety factor for brackish water RO systems with at least 20 seconds of reaction time.
SMBS is preferred to be used for larger water treatment systems than other chemical reducing agents such as carbon filters and sulphur dioxide due to its advantage of reducing the chance of bacteria growth than produces biological fouling.
When dissolved in water, sodium bisulphite (SBS) is formed from SMBS:
- Na2 S2 O5 + H2 O → 2 NaHSO3
- SBS is then reducing hypochlorous acid according to:
- NaHSO3 + HOCl → HCl + NaHSO4
