The Advantages of TCCA
- Stability: TCCA is a stable compound that can be stored for longer periods of time without significant loss of potency, unlike chlorine gas or calcium hypochlorite, which can degrade over time.
- Easy to use: TCCA is available in granular or tablet form, which makes it easy to handle and use for water treatment applications. It can be added to water directly or through a feeder system.
- No residue: Unlike some inorganic chlorine compounds, TCCA does not leave a residue that can affect the taste or odor of the water.
- Lower risk of harmful byproducts: TCCA produces fewer harmful byproducts compared to some inorganic chlorine compounds, such as chloramines, which can form when chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water.
- Effective against a wide range of microorganisms: TCCA is an effective disinfectant against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that may be present in the water.
- Lower potential for corrosion: TCCA has a lower potential for causing corrosion in water treatment equipment compared to some inorganic chlorine compounds, such as chlorine gas or calcium hypochlorite.
