Abstract/Summary

An established company sponsored a group of Cal Poly Students in the development of a chlorinator for the sanitization of drinking water lines. Before water lines are opened or reopened, chlorine must be injected in a specified quantity. The current chlorinator relies on a generator to power electrical components which are costly, frequently damaged, and take up additional space. This document outlines the process of creating a chlorinator that accomplishes mechanical fluid-power chlorine injection. This document further explains all the research, testing, and benchmarks used to determine that our design meets our desired engineering specifications.
