Chlorine dioxide is ideal for industrial waters and as a disinfectant in drinking water.

Advantages of chlorine dioxide

The bactericidal efficiency of chlorine dioxide is independent of pH values between 4 and 10
Chlorine dioxide is superior to chlorine in the destruction of spores, bacteria's, viruses and other pathogen organisms on lower dosage
The required contact time for ClO2 is lower
Chlorine dioxide has better solubility
Chlorine dioxide does not react with NH3 or NH4+
It destroys THM precursors and increases coagulation
Chlorine dioxide is also effective at controlling algae, slime and biofilm found in cooling water, process water, and paper mill whitewater systems
In potable water applications it is a proven technology for improving taste and removing odors, algae, decaying vegetation, odor-producing phenolic compounds, mercaptans, and disubstituted organic sulfides
