Enhancing Water Treatment Services with GO2™ Chlorine Dioxide
In the field of Water Treatment Services, the demand for safer, more effective disinfection and odor control methods continues to rise. One solution that’s gaining widespread recognition is GO2™, a stabilized chlorine dioxide product. Unlike traditional chlorine-based treatments, GO2™ offers both powerful disinfectant and oxidizing properties, making it a valuable addition to modern wastewater treatment strategies.
GO2™ provides several chemical advantages over conventional chlorine. Its most significant benefit is its stability in water—GO2™ does not significantly hydrolyze, which means it maintains its biocidal effectiveness across a wide pH range. This makes it a reliable option in variable water conditions where traditional chlorine may falter.
When it comes to dosage, GO2™ is highly efficient. A concentration of up to 5 ppm is typically sufficient for disinfection in municipal wastewater systems. For sulfide odor control, especially in pH ranges between 5 and 9, at least 5.2 ppm of GO2™ is needed to oxidize 1 ppm of sulfide ions. In cases involving phenol contamination, the dosage varies with pH: 1.5 ppm GO2™ is effective below pH 8, while 3.3 ppm is required above pH 10 to oxidize 1 ppm of phenol.
One of the standout features of GO2™ in Water Treatment Services is its performance in odor control. It efficiently oxidizes sulfides, simple cyanides, and phenols without producing unwanted byproducts like colloidal sulfur. Moreover, it is non-reactive with ammonia and other nitrogen-based compounds, allowing for more targeted and lower-dose applications compared to chlorine.
To apply GO2™, its two components are mixed with tap water to generate a 3% chlorine dioxide solution. Proper application involves introducing it below the water surface to avoid volatilization and ensure even distribution. Monitoring residual concentrations is essential and can be done using standardized methods such as the DPD-Glycine or Amperometric Method II.
With its broad effectiveness, stability, and low reactivity, GO2™ is a forward-thinking solution that strengthens the efficiency and reliability of today’s water treatment services.
