Chlorine dioxide ClO2 is a gas that has strong antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. It is one of the more selective oxidants that easily penetrates and decomposes pathogens. As a disinfectant, it is about 2.5 times stronger than chlorine and sodium hypochlorite, and its effectiveness is not dependent on the pH of the water.
Chlorine dioxide has a high oxidizing effect in water and therefore the use of even a small dose allows obtaining the required sanitary and hygienic quality of water, persisting for a long period of time.
Chlorine dioxide can be produced in generators, directly at the place of its dosing. The production process is not complicated and consists of proportional mixing of solutions sodium chlorite (7.5%) and hydrochloric acid (9%), their temporary retention in the reactor and dilution of the resulting chlorine dioxide to a concentration below 2 g ClO2/l. The advantage of this solution is the ability to adjust chlorine dioxide production to current demand (limiting the formation of chlorites and chlorates) and relatively low operating costs.
Profgenerator ClO2 is a completely safe device – has a solid, lockable protective housing that protects against unauthorized access by unauthorized persons. The device consists of two peristaltic pumps that dose reagents, a calibration system and flow meters to control the amount of substrates taken, solenoid valves, a pressure reducer, a reactor, maturation and storage tanks, a multifunction valve, a diaphragm pump that doses the produced solution, an absorber that absorbs chlorine dioxide vapors, a ball valve that allows the solution to be drained and a controller with a color display.
