DECHLORINATION TABLETS
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets shall be formulated and produced to chemically neutralize both free and combined
chlorine in water, wastewater and process water treatment systems. Bio-Neutralizer tablets shall be engineered to dissolve
slowly and evenly, maintaining e󰀪uent quality without any loss of dissolved oxygen or increase in BOD

" diameter, compressed to

" thickness with an approximate weight of 5 oz. and incorporate beveled edges to stabilize
chemical release and to minimize maintenance requirements. Sulfur dioxide gas or liquid sodium metabisulte systems
create serious health hazards and handling concerns and therefore shall not be considered for this application.
TABLET PROPERTIES AND USAGE
When used as directed, Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets shall provide an environmentally safe dose of sodium sulte
capable of neutralizing free and combined chlorine present in treated water, wastewater or process water. Research shows
that high concentrations of sodium sulte will degrade benecial dissolved oxygen in receiving environments, producing
harmful e󰀨ects on the ecosystem. Bio-Neutralizer tablets shall provide consistent reduction or elimination of residual chlorine
without a󰀨ecting water quality, dissolved oxygen or other discharge parameters. A unique combination of sustained release
agents and sodium sulte shall maintain a consistently uniform application rate regardless of ow, temperature or humidity.
Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets shall generally lower chemical consumption and provide reliable reduction of chlorine
residual in a more thorough, safe and economical manner than simple compressed sodium sulte. Therefore, the use of
other tablets of similar composition shall not be considered for this application.

" thick Bio-Neutralizer tablets shall be e󰀨ective in the reduction or elimination of residual chlorine
without releasing excess quantities of sodium sulte into the receiving environment. Bio-Neutralizer tablets shall maintain
a consistent application rate at intermittent peak ow factors as high as four and shall provide reliable reduction of residual
chlorine even when the signicant runo󰀨 period is six hours. Bio-Neutralizer tablets shall be considered non-hazardous under
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), RCRA, CERCLA and SARA Title
III listings and consist solely of commercial grade or technical grade ingredients. The following is a list of some common
applications where Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets may be utilized: home wastewater treatment plants, municipal
wastewater plants, septic tanks – sand lters, extended aeration plants, wastewater treatment lagoons, package wastewater
treatment systems, spray irrigation systems, potable water ltration backwash, municipal water plants and water towers.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Read the entire product container label, the Material Safety Data Sheet and the Bio-Neutralizer Safety and Tablet Properties
and Usage instructions before handling or use. Always wear rubber gloves and either safety goggles or a face shield when
handling Bio-Neutralizer tablets or working with a tablet feeder or chemical feed tube. Refer to tablet feeder manufacturer’s
instructions to determine the correct number of tubes to ll with Bio-Neutralizer tablets. Store Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination
tablets only in their tightly sealed original container. Do not store in direct sunlight or areas where temperature may exceed
140° F. Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets are a strong reducing agent containing sodium sulte. Contact with oil,
petroleum products or oxidizing agents, such as Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets or any tablet used for chlorination, is
extremely dangerous. Do not mix with swimming pool chemicals. Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets should be stored
in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area for maximum shelf life. To prevent moisture contamination, exercise care when removing
tablets from the container or lling feed tubes. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, mouth, respiratory system or clothing.
