FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Chlorine dioxide provides excellent microbiological control for the food & beverage processing sectors in areas including brewing and bottling, fruit and vegetables (FDA approved application), poultry and other meats, fish, and dairy processes. ClO2 also provides excellent microbiological control in flume waters, packaging operations and process disinfection...more

What other applications use chlorine dioxide?

Frequently Asked Questions about Chlorine Dioxide | ClO2 Que...
Chlorine dioxide is widely used as a disinfecting agent in the food industry in fruit and vegetable washing, flume water disinfection, meat and poultry disinfection and odour control. In industrial processes, chlorine dioxide is used in industrial water treatment (cooling systems/towers), ammonia plants, pulp mills (slime control, paper machines), oil fields and the electronics industry. It is also widely used within oral healthcare products in everyday life. See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide for water hygiene applications?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Because of its highly effective biocidal characteristics, chlorine dioxide is ideal for use in water hygiene activities. ClO2 has consistently been shown to be the best molecule for eradicating the causative organism of Listeriosis and Legionnaires' Disease. It also controls other potentially dangerous bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli and other coliforms. It is also effective against Giardia cysts, algae and amoebae, planktonic and sessile organisms...more See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide in cooling towers?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
The use of chlorine dioxide in cooling towers, loops and cooling systems greatly assists in the control of algae, planktonic bacteria, biofilm and scale, helping to maintain the efficiency of heat exchanger surfaces, reservoir intakes, and ancillary equipment...more See similar questions...

What is chlorine dioxide?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a highly effective, eco-friendly microbiocide that carries US EPA, FDA and UK Government approvals for many of its uses. It is a selective oxidant that eliminates both planktonic and sessile bacteria, disinfects surfaces, and rapidly destroys biofilms...more See similar questions...

Is chlorine dioxide approved for use in potable water?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Chlorine dioxide is US EPA approved for both the pre-treatment and final disinfection of potable waters. It will eliminate microorganisms including Escherichia coli (e coli) and other coliforms, Listeria, Staphylococcus aureus, Giardia cysts, algae, and Salmonella...more See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide in hospitals and healthcare facilities?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Because of its biocidal characteristics, ClO2 is ideal for water hygiene applications in hospitals and healthcare facilities. It has consistently been shown to be the best molecule for eradicating the causative organism of Legionnaires' disease. In the UK, the Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) has recommended chlorine dioxide as the best available technology for control of Legionella in hot and cold water systems...more See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide for potable water treatment?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Chlorine dioxide is US EPA approved for both the pre-treatment and final disinfection of potable waters. It will eliminate microorganisms including Escherichia coli (e coli) and other coliforms, Listeria, Staphylococcus aureus, Giardia cysts, algae, and Salmonella. It has also consistently been shown to be the best molecule for eradicating the causative organism of Legionnaires' disease. It also effectively removes hard water components i.e. See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide for ultrapure water treatment?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Ultrapure water is used to process pharmaceuticals, to rinse silicon microchips, and to feed high-pressure boilers and turbines in power plants and chemical processing installations. Ultra-pure water delivered at the process level must have between 99.9% and 99.99% of typical fresh water impurities removed. In addition to other contaminants, process-piping systems must be free of bacteria and biofilm. See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide for waste-water treatment?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Chlorine dioxide safely oxidises phenols, cyanides, aldehydes, and mercaptans, reduced sulfur compounds and some pesticides. It is useful in both waste-water treatment and scrubber systems. Chlorine dioxide is an eco-friendly oxidant that is preferred by many regulating water utilities and supply authorities for final discharge disinfection...more See similar questions...

Can I use chlorine dioxide for the control of Legionella bacteria?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
In the UK, the Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) has recommended chlorine dioxide as the best available technology for the control of Legionella in hot and cold water systems...more See similar questions...

Does chlorine dioxide have any other approvals?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Many of its uses are US EPA, FDA, and UK Government approved, and highly recommended by many researchers and research establishments throughout the world...more See similar questions...

Is chlorine dioxide pH dependant?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Because chlorine dioxide is a dissolved gas, it does not ionise to form weak acids (as chlorine and bromine do) in aqueous solutions. This allows ClO2 to be effective over a wide pH range...more See similar questions...

What else is chlorine dioxide used to control?

FAQ - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Generators
Chlorine dioxide is a stable, dissolved gas that is a strong bactericide and virucide at concentrations as low as 0.1 ppm. With minimal contact time, it is highly effective against many pathogenic organisms including Legionella, Listeria, Salmonella, amoebal cysts, Giardia cysts, E. Coli, and Cryptosporidium. Importantly, CIO2 also destroys biofilms so bacterial regrowth is significantly impeded...more See similar questions...

Why not use chlorine instead?

Water Filters, Purifiers, and Purification FAQ
Chlorine changes the tastes and odor of water. Chlorination can also produce harmful by-products called Trihalomethanes (THMs) which are linked to incidence of cancer. No, the UV unit will use about the same amount of energy as a 60 watt light bulb. It is a cost effective, natural way to increase water quality where microbiological contamination is present and to provide peace of mind where microbiological contamination is a greater risk. See similar questions...

Where is chlorine dioxide most commonly used?

Frequently Asked Questions about Chlorine Dioxide | ClO2 Que...
World-wide! Chlorine dioxide is used principally as a primary disinfectant for surface waters with odour and taste problems. It has been disinfecting water streams for over seventy years. It is used in many large European cities such as Brussels, Zurich, Dusseldorf, Berlin, Toulouse and Vienna. Toxicology studies have shown that chlorine dioxide disinfection poses no significant adverse risk to human health. See similar questions...

Is chlorine dioxide expensive?

Frequently Asked Questions about Chlorine Dioxide | ClO2 Que...
The cost of producing chlorine dioxide is dependant on two factors - the cost of the precursor chemical and the cost of the equipment used to deliver the generated chlorine dioxide at the correct rate. Catalytic chlorine dioxide generation is the most cost effective production and delivery mechanism available on the market. When the costs are offset against reduced maintenance, energy savings, monitoring…..etc. See similar questions...

What organisms will chlorine dioxide eradicate?

Frequently Asked Questions about Chlorine Dioxide | ClO2 Que...
