TM 55-1930-209-14&P-4
1-8 Capabilities. The system generates and maintains a 5000 to 6000 parts per million (ppm) solution of chlorine and
then meters this solution into product water from the ROWPU system to obtain a chlorine concentration of 5 to 7 ppm in
the drinking water.
1-9 Special limitations . For normal operation, the chlorination system requires seawater with a 3 to 4 percent salt
concentration. If the available seawater has a salt concentration less than this, refer to paragraph 3-5j to increase
concentration.
