Municipal water treatment plant pre- and post-chlorination, rural compact water purification units (CU), municipal service reservoir disinfection, emergency flood relief drinking water purification, and commercial swimming pool water sanitization across Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Sulaymaniyah, and Nineveh.
Calcium Hypochlorite Granular with 70% available chlorine represents the essential chemical disinfectant for potable drinking water purification, municipal reservoir sanitation, and emergency water treatment across Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. Governed by EN 900 (Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption), AWWA B300, and NSF/ANSI 60 standards, our calcium hypochlorite is manufactured using the premium sodium process. This yields white, free-flowing, dust-suppressed granules with exceptional chemical stability, minimal insolubles (≤3%), and reduced sludge residue in chemical dosing tanks compared to inferior calcium-process formulations.
When dissolved in municipal raw river water extracted from the Tigris and Euphrates, calcium hypochlorite rapidly releases powerful hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl-), destroying pathogenic bacteria (including Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella, and E. coli), enteric viruses, and algae within standard contact times (CT values). The elevated 70% chlorine concentration reduces bulk shipping volume and handling costs, allowing rural water authorities and compact drinking water units (CU stations) across Iraq to store months of disinfection capacity in secure, compact footprints.
Under high ambient summer heat in Iraq reaching up to +55°C, ordinary hypochlorite compounds decompose rapidly, generating dangerous oxygen gas pressure. Indus calcium hypochlorite is formulated with specialized thermal stabilizers and packed in heavy-gauge, UV-stabilized UN-certified high-density polyethylene drums (45kg net) with vented breathers and hermetic inner moisture barriers. Staged in climate-controlled chemical warehouses at the Erbil Heavy Plant Yard, Baghdad Central Logistics Depot, and Basra Port Corridor, Indus supplies bulk palletized consignments with full Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Ministry of Health compliance documentation.
Sodium-process calcium hypochlorite has significantly lower insoluble calcium residue (under 3% versus over 10% for calcium-process). This means it dissolves completely without leaving thick chalky lime sludge that clogs chemical dosing pump foot valves, injector nozzles, and dosing tanks in Iraqi treatment plants.
Drums should be stored in a well-ventilated, shaded, and cool warehouse away from direct sunlight, open flames, and organic materials (oils, diesel). Indus warehouses in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra are ventilated and temperature-regulated to ensure zero chemical loss prior to delivery.
Every chemical shipment is delivered with a complete batch Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying active chlorine percentage, moisture content, and heavy metal limits (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium), accompanied by an official Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and ISO 9001 factory certification.
