Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine dioxide is one of the fastest growing Chlorine alternatives in water treatment solutions. This technology offers the benefits of effectiveness at high pH, being unaffected by ammonia, and demonstrating significant advantages over Chlorine in systems susceptible to high levels of organic contaminants. Because Chlorine dioxide is a selective oxidizer, its ability to control microorganisms in water at very low dosages makes it an especially cost effective solution.

Major Advantages of Chlorine Dioxide

  • Chlorine dioxide is effective over a broad pH range.
  • Chlorine dioxide has 2.5 times the oxidizing capability of Chlorine.
  • Chlorine dioxide does not form trihalomethanes upon reaction with organic matter.
  • Chlorine dioxide has the ability to penetrate and remove biofilm formed and kill bacteria, spores and viruses.
  • Chlorine dioxide does not form chloramines.
  • Required contact time for Chlorine dioxide is lower compared to Chlorine.
  • Chlorine dioxide is less corrosive than chlorine and does not hydrolyze to form acid.
  • Chlorine dioxide destroys phenols and its derivatives.
  • Common Applications of Chlorine Dioxide
    • Food Processing-fresh pack, processed foods, cold storage
    • Wine Production
    • Drinking & potable water production
    • Iron & manganese oxidation & color removal

  • Chlorine Dioxide Generation Methods
    Siam Water Solutions designs and manufactures Chlorine dioxide Generators CLOGEN of various capacities based on oxygen demand, application type and overall cost effectiveness. Siam Water Solutions has developed generators of all types: from simple generators with pumps and control panel to fully integrated systems, our generators are customized to meet every client need.
    With more than 400 installations all over India and also in Asia / Africa, Siam Water Solutions is one of the largest manufacturers of the generator in India.
    Chlorine dioxide is usually generated by one of three methods, each of which are both efficient and cost effective viz. by Chlorine Gas method, Sodium Hypochlorite method and by acid activation of Sodium Chlorite. The three methods are explained below in option I, Option II and Option III. In each method Chlorine Dioxide is generated at site through a specialized ClO2 generator.

    OPTION I : Chlorine Gas Method

    In the generator unit, Chlorine dioxide is generated by a chemical reaction that occurs when a controlled volume of precursor chemical (NaClO2)is combined with a water stream containing Chlorine.

    Following is the reaction for generation of ClO2 by Chlorine gas method

    • 2NaClO2 + Cl2 → 2ClO2 + 2NaCl

    OPTION II: Sodium Hypochlorite Method

    In the generator unit, Chlorine dioxide is generated by a chemical reaction that occurs when a controlled volume of precursor chemical (NaClO2) is combined with a water stream containing Hydrochloric Acid.

    Following is the reaction for generation of ClO2 by HCl method

    • 5 NaClO2 + 4 HCl = 4ClO2 + 5 NaCl + 2H2O

    OPTION III : Acid Activation of Sodium Hypochlorite Method

    In the generator unit, Chlorine dioxide is generated by a chemical reaction that occurs when a controlled volume of precursor chemical (NaClO2) is combined with a water stream containing sodium hypochlorite and a Hydrochloric Acid.

    Following is the reaction for generation of ClO2

    • 2NaClO2 + NaOCl + 2HCl → 2ClO2 + 3NaCl + H2O
