Chlorine Dioxide for Water Treatment – A Safer, Smarter Solution for Effective Disinfection
Chlorine Dioxide for Water Treatment – A Safer, Smarter Solution for Effective Disinfection
When it comes to ensuring clean and safe water, Chlorine Dioxide for Water Treatment has become a preferred choice across municipal, industrial, and wastewater applications. Known for its superior disinfecting and oxidizing power, GO2™ offers a unique and efficient solution that overcomes the limitations of traditional chlorine-based systems.
Unlike chlorine, GO2™ does not significantly hydrolyze in water, which means it retains its biocidal activity across a wide pH range. This makes it highly effective for killing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms in both drinking water and wastewater. Its stable performance and broad-spectrum efficacy make Chlorine Dioxide for Water Treatment an ideal option for sustainable water purification.
Dosage and Application
The dosage of GO2™ varies depending on water conditions and contamination levels. For most municipal systems, a residual concentration of up to 5 ppm ensures effective disinfection. For sulfide odor control, a minimum of 5.2 ppm GO2™ effectively oxidizes 1 ppm of sulfide between pH 5–9. Similarly, for phenol destruction, at pH less than 8, 1.5 ppm of GO2™ oxidizes 1 ppm of phenol, while at pH above 10, 3.3 ppm is sufficient.
Odor and Contaminant Control
GO2™ is non-reactive with ammonia and most nitrogen compounds, allowing it to work efficiently even at lower doses than chlorine. It effectively destroys phenols, simple cyanides, and sulfides without producing colloidal sulfur, which often causes turbidity and foul odors. Additionally, it helps oxidize iron and manganese compounds, improving water clarity and quality.
Safe and Effective Dosing
By simply combining the two components of GO2™, a 3% chlorine dioxide solution is produced. It should be introduced at a point ensuring uniform mixing and distribution, ideally below the water level to minimize volatilization.
With its safety, stability, and unmatched efficiency, Chlorine Dioxide for Water Treatment through GO2™ represents a modern, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solution for all your disinfection needs.
