BackgroundBackground

• Chlorine dioxide has been used for over 100 Chlorine dioxide has been used for over 100 years. It is more selective than chlorine or years. It is more selective than chlorine or bromines and remains effective at low bromines and remains effective at low concentrations. Chlorine dioxide is a wide concentrations. Chlorine dioxide is a wide spectrum biocide, effective over a broad pH spectrum biocide, effective over a broad pH range, and is a superior product for the range, and is a superior product for the control of Legionella.control of Legionella.

• Chlorine dioxide penetrates the bacterial cell Chlorine dioxide penetrates the bacterial cell wall and reacts with amino acids to kill the wall and reacts with amino acids to kill the organism.organism.

range of 8.0-8.5. At pH 6.0, chlorine hydrolyzesto hypochlorous acid (HOCI), which is its effec-tive form. At a pH of 8.5, only 8% goes to HOCI,thus requiring a much higher dosage to control algae and slime. Chlorine dioxide retains efficacyover a wide pH range and provides superior biocide control at a fraction of the chlorine dosage. The

smaller dosage makes chlorine dioxide more cost effective.

Chlorine dioxide excels in ammoniated systems and where process leaks create high demands for chlorine. Chlorine dioxide does not react with ammonia and is more selective in its reactivity, thus minimizing the dosage and the possible formation of chlorinated organics in the blowdown.

Chlorine Dioxide Benefits

• Selective disinfecting oxidant • Rapid kill rate at low ppm• Broad-range bacteria, fungi & virus destruction • Penetrates & sluffs biofilm, killing resident organisms • Does not form trihalomethanes (THM’s)• Does not react with ammonia or chlorinated organics• Does not form hypochlorous acid or free chlorine • Is less corrosive than chlorine • Oxidizes manganese, iron, phenols, sulfides, cyanides

• Able to oxidize odor-causing substances• Remains effective across broad pH range

Why Isn’t Chlorine Dioxide More Widely Used?

Federal law prohibits the transportation of chlorine dioxide gas, therefore it must be produced at the point of use. Large-scale water treatment systems use complex and expensive acid-based chlorine dioxide generators. Typically, these methods require multiple hazardous

precursors. Chlorine dioxide historically has been considered a viable option when the amount of water requiring treatment warranted the expense, danger, complexity and maintenance concerns of a large-scale generator.

Sodium Chlorite plus Chlorine

2NaClO2 + NaOCl + 2HCl 2ClO2 + 3NaCl + H2O

5NaClO2 + 4HCl 4ClO2 + 5NaCl +2H2O

Bleach plus Hydrochloric Acid

In Summary…

• Has to be generated on-site

• 2-3 chemical precursors required

• Complicated, expensive feed equipment

• Dangerous to produce

• Current systems are highly corrosive

• Labor-intensive and high-maintenance costs

• Requires qualified manpower - 24/7 monitoring

• No effective systems for under 2 lbs./day
