CHLORINE DIOXIDE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE

CLORIOUS 2 IN BRIEF

WATER DISINFECTION PRODUCT / CLORIOUS 2 UNLOCKING THE POWER AND VERSATILITY OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE.

❚ Transportable, ready-to-use chlorine dioxide solution
❚ No on-site chemical mixing, no generator, no activation period
❚ Highly concentrated, pure chlorine dioxide in solution
❚ Long-term stability
❚ Safe to use
❚ Easy to apply with chemical dosing pump
❚ Patented technology

By making chlorine dioxide available in a transportable, ready-to-use form, GPC Clear Solutions is able to cover a wide range of industries and aid the development of new applications that require disinfection and oxidation solutions.

Because of its unique properties and benefits, chlorine dioxide is the disinfectant of choice for the 21st century. Current chlorine dioxide production methods entail the use of generators.

Chlorine Dioxide Properties

Molecular formula: ClO₂

Yellowish, volatile gas at room temperature
Chlorine type odour
Highly soluble, remains in the water a true, dissolved gas
Inorganic free radical in oxidation state +4
Inactivation by electron exchange in lieu of chlorine atom exchange
Favourable environmental footprint (green chemistry)
Excellent antimicrobial properties over a wide pH range (2-10)
Used for potable water treatment since 1944; commonly employed in many other industries
EU, USEPA approved, listed in WHO Drinking Water Quality Guidelines

Chlorine Dioxide Benefits

Broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy; germicide, virucide, fungicide, sporicide, algaecide, slimicide
Unique inactivation mechanism; oxidation of genetic machinery, no known immunity building by microorganisms
Powerful oxidising agent; more than twice the oxidative capacity of chlorine, but has lower oxidation strength
Fast acting, selective oxidation chemistry
Oxidises without chlorinating, no (eco)toxic or carcinogenic halogenated disinfection by-products (THMs, HAAs, AOX)
Residual biocidal activity
Minimises corrosion to processing equipment, tanks and lines
Improved aesthetics (taste and odour control)
Removes biofilm from water distribution systems

Features and Benefits:

Transportable, ready-to-use chlorine dioxide solution
No on site chemical mixing, no generator, no activation period
Highly concentrated, pure chlorine dioxide in aqueous solution (pH approx. 3)
Long term stable (½ year)
Safe to use, non explosive
Easy to apply (standard chemical dosing pump)
Precise water chemistry management
Patented method
Proprietary manufacturing method to enhance stability, purity and safety
High chemical yield; efficient conversion of chlorite into chlorine dioxide
Based on oxidation of chlorite, no acidification or chlorination
