As water quality standards continue to rise, facilities are turning to Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment as a dependable and highly effective solution. GO2™ chlorine dioxide offers powerful disinfection and oxidation properties, making it a superior alternative to traditional chlorine in modern wastewater systems. Its unique ability to maintain biocidal activity across a wide pH range provides consistent performance even under fluctuating water conditions.
One of the major advantages of using Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment is its precise and efficient dosage capability. For most municipal and industrial wastewater systems, a residual concentration of up to 5 ppm of GO2™ is sufficient for complete disinfection. When targeting sulfide odor control, GO2™ requires just 5.2 ppm to oxidize 1 ppm of sulfide in water within a pH range of 5 to 9. Phenol destruction is equally efficient, needing only 1.5 ppm at pH levels below 8 or 3.3 ppm when pH exceeds 10.
GO2™ is also highly effective for odor management and advanced contaminant removal. It is non-reactive with ammonia and most nitrogen compounds, enabling strong performance at lower dose levels than chlorine. Because it oxidizes phenols, cyanides, sulfides, iron, and manganese, GO2™ improves both odor and clarity in treated water. Additionally, unlike chlorine, it does not form colloidal sulfur during sulfide oxidation, preventing secondary treatment issues.
Application of Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment with GO2™ is simple and safe. The system produces a 3% chlorine dioxide solution by mixing two components with tap water. For best results, GO2™ should be applied at a point that ensures proper mixing and positioned below water level to prevent volatilization. Avoiding co-feeding with lime or activated carbon preserves efficiency.
Monitoring chlorine dioxide residuals is straightforward with validated analytical methods such as the DPD-Glycine Method and Amperometric Method II.
Incorporating GO2™ Chlorine Dioxide For Water Treatment delivers cleaner outputs, safer operations, and higher efficiency across treatment processes.
