WHY CLO2?

Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a chemical compound that is made up of one chlorine atom, and two oxygen atoms. It is recognized by the World Health Organization as a superior biocide and has been used to disinfect drinking water since 1944. It is employed in many industries, including the disinfection of potable water, waste water and effluent water, cooling towers, pipeline and tank cleaning, poultry and livestock raising, irrigation, fruit and produce washing, horticulture, dairy, beverage production, swimming pools, and many other applications.

Chlorine and chlorine-based disinfectants generate harmful DBPs (disinfection by-products). These include Trihalomethanes (THM’s), Halo-acetic acids (HAA’s), chloramines, bromides, and bromines. These are all known carcinogens and pose a risk for human health. ClO2 does not generate these DBPs.

ClO2 kills all water-borne micro-organisms. Examples include bacteria, yeast, fungi, mold, algae, spores, protozoans, cryptosporidia, cysts, giardia and larval eggs (mosquito, tsetse fly), insect eggs and larvae, problematic veligers, fish and shellfish diseases (VHS, KHS, ISA) and many others.

Unlike chlorine, ClO2 has the ability to kill water-borne viruses such as legionella, cholera, dengue, hepatitis and typhoid. It kills all known bacteria, including coliform, salmonella, E-coli, listeria and cinobacteria. It eliminates microbial slime (biofilm) from water distribution and storage systems. It also removes phenols, cyanides, iron, manganese and methanogens from water.
