Chlorine Dioxide Disinfection Systems
Chlorine dioxide is a highly effective disinfectant with a long-term effect on the destruction of harmful microorganisms such as fungi, algae, bacteria and viruses, especially legionella pathogens. Chlorine dioxide, which enters the cell by breaking down the cell wall, disrupts the enzyme structure of microorganisms and causes the protein synthesis in the cell to stop. The cell can no longer perform its vital functions and it dies.
Compared to other disinfectants, chlorine dioxide, which dissolves faster in water and is effective even at much lower concentrations, can also be applied in all kinds of water treatment problems because it is well compatible with the environment. It is not only against bacteria and viruses, but also prevents the removal and re-formation of other microbiological residues that form a biofilm layer in pipes and membranes through which water passes. It provides the removal of phenols that cause bad odor and taste problems and the formation of harmful halogenated by-products is prevented. Its pH-independent effect makes it effective in alkaline waters, while its non-corrosiveness is another advantage.
Advantages of Disinfection Systems with Chlorine Dioxide:
- Multi-purpose disinfectant
- It is very effective in microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, algae and spores.
- Compared to other disinfectants (Paracetic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Hypochlorite), it provides 2.5 times more oxidation power in a certain pH range and requires less labor.
- Stronger and faster disinfection compared to chlorine.
- Continuous disinfection is possible because it can disinfect independently at pH value.
- It eliminates the odor and taste problems caused by the by-products formed by the breakdown of phenols and algae in the water.
- It prevents the formation of harmful by-products such as trihalogenmethane, chlorphenol, AOX and chloramine.
