Salt+water, power on, OK! The technology behind this simple operation is safeguarding the drinking water health of teachers and students in 18 schools in Yongzhou.
As the autumn semester approaches in September 2025, the self owned water plants of 18 schools in Yongzhou City are facing a serious challenge. The water sources have not been properly disinfected. The safety of drinking water for teachers and students urgently needs to be guaranteed, and the education system in Yongzhou actively solves this problem in order to ensure the safety of drinking water for teachers and students.
Hunan Yuansheng Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd., which provides sodium hypochlorite generators for these 18 schools, has built a solid defense line for campus drinking water safety with its advanced technology.
01 Campus Drinking Water Safety Challenge
Many schools in Yongzhou rely on their own water plants as a source of drinking water for teachers and students. The inadequate disinfection facilities of these self owned water plants directly threaten the safety of drinking water.
Especially during the autumn semester when a large number of students return to school, the demand for drinking water increases sharply, making disinfection work particularly urgent.
Traditional disinfection methods have many limitations, such as inconvenient transportation and storage, safety hazards, and high operating costs. Some schools may have used commercially available disinfectants, but the quality varies greatly, with some being "impure in quality and not suitable for use in many situations".
Faced with these challenges, the education department in Yongzhou has begun to seek a safer, more economical, and more efficient disinfection solution.
02 Innovation in Drinking Water Disinfection Technology
Sodium hypochlorite generator, as a new type of disinfection equipment, has shown significant advantages in the field of school drinking water disinfection in recent years. This device uses electrolysis technology and only uses salt and water as raw materials to prepare disinfectant on site.
The YS-CL2 automatic sodium hypochlorite generator system produced by Hunan Yuansheng Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. has achieved fully automated production. The system includes units such as a water softener, an automatic salt dissolution system, a host, and a sodium hypochlorite solution storage tank, achieving fully automated control.
Compared with traditional disinfection methods, sodium hypochlorite generators have obvious advantages: the disinfectant produced by them is of pure quality, non-toxic, harmless, and free of residual pollution. The equipment uses simple raw materials, only salt and water are needed, and the operation is convenient and safe.
The disinfectant produced by this equipment has an effective chlorine concentration of 6000-8000ppm, making it a highly effective disinfectant. Sodium hypochlorite disinfectant can quickly kill various pathogenic bacteria and viruses, including common pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, and can also destroy hepatitis virus surface antigens.
03 Implementation of Solution Implementation
Based on the actual situation of 18 schools in Yongzhou, Yuansheng Intelligence provides customized solutions. According to the scale and daily water consumption of each school's own water plant, different specifications of sodium hypochlorite generator equipment have been configured.
During the installation process, technicians should pay special attention to the environmental requirements for equipment use. The generator should be installed indoors with good ventilation and sufficient light, ensuring that there are no open flames or other sources of ignition around. The hydrogen exhaust pipeline should be placed outdoors to eliminate safety hazards.

04 Disinfection Effect and Cost Advantage
Yuansheng Intelligent Sodium Hypochlorite Generator has 10 patents and low operating costs. The disinfectant produced by sodium hypochlorite generator not only has excellent effects, but also has significant cost advantages. Taking YS-CL100 generator as an example, based on a service life of 10000 hours, the average cost per liter of disinfectant is only 0.2204 yuan.
In contrast, the price of commercially available disinfectant of the same quality is about 18 yuan per 100 milliliters, which is equivalent to 180 yuan per liter, with a huge difference. Even relatively inexpensive commercially available disinfectants cost 1.6 yuan per liter, which is still higher than the cost of homemade disinfectants.
In terms of disinfection effect, sodium hypochlorite disinfectant has a definite disinfection effect at extremely low concentrations (5ppm). For daily disinfection, only 5ppm is needed for one minute to achieve good disinfection effect; For disinfection with high requirements, such as disinfecting supplies for infectious disease patients, soaking in 500ppm disinfectant solution for 5 to 10 minutes can be used.
The disinfectant produced by the equipment also has multiple functions such as degrading residual pesticides, cleaning, bleaching, deodorization, etc. It can be used for disinfecting various items such as tableware, tea sets, sanitary ware, fruits and vegetables.
05 Long term significance and value
Equipping 18 schools in Yongzhou with sodium hypochlorite generators not only solves the current problem of drinking water disinfection, but also has long-term significance. This reflects the high attention paid by the education department of Yongzhou to campus food safety and drinking water hygiene.
The use of sodium hypochlorite generators helps cultivate health awareness and environmental protection concepts among teachers and students. The equipment is environmentally friendly during use, and the disinfectant is non-toxic, harmless, and free of residue pollution. After use, it decomposes into water and a small amount of sodium chloride, which does not burden the environment.
From an economic perspective, schools can significantly save on daily disinfection costs by producing their own disinfectant solutions. Once a school is equipped, its long-term usage cost is extremely low, only requiring payment of basic electricity and salt costs.
This centralized configuration of disinfection equipment has successful precedents in universities and primary and secondary schools across the country. Southern Medical University (formerly known as the First Military Medical University) established a disinfectant supply station as early as 2000, and the actual operation effect is very good.
As the start of the autumn semester approaches, the sodium hypochlorite generator equipment in these 18 schools in Yongzhou has entered the debugging phase. These devices will operate day and night, converting ordinary salt and water into safe and reliable disinfectants.
More importantly, the successful implementation of this project provides a replicable model for addressing campus drinking water safety issues in other regions. Hunan Yuansheng Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd.'s professional solutions not only serve schools in Yongzhou area, but also set a new example for campus drinking water safety nationwide.
Advanced water disinfection technology quietly covers more campuses across the country, ensuring that teachers and students can drink safe and reassuring water every day.
