Chlorine Dioxide Water Treatment: A Safe, Efficient, and Modern Solution

Image
For decades, chlorine dioxide has been recognized as one of the most effective disinfectants for water treatment. Its superior performance in eliminating bacteria, viruses, and other harmful contaminants makes it a preferred choice for municipal, industrial, and commercial water systems. However, traditional methods of chlorine dioxide production have long posed significant challenges. Equipment-generated chlorine dioxide requires a high investment in specialized machinery, precursor chemicals, and trained personnel. The production process carries risks of explosion, and over 99% of the generated gas is often wasted, making it unaffordable for small and medium-sized users. “Liquid” chlorine dioxide, produced from acidified sodium chlorite, introduces further complications. The chemistry is imprecise, and free chlorine radicals generate harmful by-products, creating potential safety and environmental concerns. Such outdated methods limit accessibility and efficiency, leaving many user...

Chlorine Dioxide Water Treatment: A Modern Solution to Safe Disinfection

Image
Chlorine dioxide has long been celebrated as a superior disinfectant, ideal for water treatment due to its effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. However, traditional chlorine dioxide production has often been riddled with challenges. From expensive equipment to safety risks, these barriers have made chlorine dioxide water treatment inaccessible for many smaller users. Fortunately, a breakthrough in technology—GO2™—is changing that narrative. For decades, chlorine dioxide production required specialized equipment, such as gas-generating systems, which posed significant risks. These systems demanded high upfront investment and extensive training due to the volatile nature of chlorine dioxide gas. Additionally, more than 99% of the gas produced was wasted, making it an inefficient and costly process. For small and medium-sized water treatment users, this was simply not affordable. Chlorine dioxide for disinfection has been a reliable method for large-scal...
