Captor® is used in Arden Industries Bazooka with liquid feed configuration for dechlorination of super-chlorinated water mains and fire hydrant flushing programs.
Captor (calcium thiosulfate solution) is a relatively new product now available to the potable water and wastewater treatment industries. Captor is a nearly odorless, colorless, non-hazardous, non-toxic solution. It is certified in accordance with ANSI NSF Standard 60 for drinking water applications.
Captor is now solving a number of traditional problems for water and wastewater treatment plant operators. Tank and line heating are generally not needed, and the product presents no problem with off-gassing. In ozone destruction, Captor is more efficient and requires lower dosing rates than other chemicals.
Because it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, Captor can be shipped via UPS and carried in the back of city trucks without requiring special handling placards.
