Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment has become a preferred choice for municipal and industrial wastewater systems due to its superior disinfecting and oxidizing capabilities. GO2™ chlorine dioxide is highly effective against a wide range of contaminants and offers several chemical advantages over traditional chlorine. Unlike chlorine, GO2™ does not significantly hydrolyze in water, allowing it to retain strong biocidal activity across a broad pH range and deliver consistent treatment results.

One of the key benefits of using Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment is its efficiency at low and controlled dosage levels. Required dosages vary depending on water quality and contamination levels, but for most municipal and wastewater applications, a GO2™ residual concentration of up to 5 ppm is sufficient to achieve effective disinfection. For sulfide odor control within a pH range of 5 to 9, approximately 5.2 ppm of GO2™ is needed to oxidize 1 ppm of sulfide. Similarly, phenol destruction can be achieved with 1.5 ppm GO2™ at pH levels below 8, or 3.3 ppm at pH levels above 10, making it a versatile solution for diverse treatment needs 

Odor control is another area where Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment clearly outperforms traditional chlorine systems. GO2™ is non-reactive with ammonia and most nitrogen-containing compounds, allowing it to remain effective at lower doses. It oxidizes sulfides without forming colloidal sulfur and efficiently destroys phenols and simple cyanides. In addition, GO2™ is effective in oxidizing iron and manganese compounds, helping improve overall water quality and system performance.

The method of dosing GO2™ is both simple and reliable. By combining the two components with an appropriate volume of tap water, a 3% chlorine dioxide solution is produced. For optimal results, the solution should be applied at a point that ensures proper mixing and uniform distribution, with the feed point positioned below the water level to prevent volatilization. Co-feeding with lime or powdered activated carbon should be avoided to maintain treatment efficiency.

Accurate analysis is essential when using Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment. Residual GO2™ concentrations can be measured using approved analytical methods such as the DPD-Glycine Method or the Amperometric Method II, as outlined in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Together, these advantages make GO2™ chlorine dioxide a safe, effective, and modern solution for water and wastewater treatment applications.
