Chlorine Dioxide

The OxiMax eCD Series is designed to produce a powerful pure Chlorine Dioxide solution, safely, efficiently, reliably and economically, using only Sodium Chlorite, water and power as the raw materials. Acid is not required.
eCD Manchines are available with outputs ranging from 5 – 100 g/hr.

The Chlorine Dioxide molecule is relatively small, volatile, and very energetic – a free radical. It is stable in dilute solution, but unstable in concentrated form. Thus, chlorine dioxide is almost always used as a dissolved gas in water in concentrations that range from 50 to 5,000 ppm. Because transportation of concentrated chlorine dioxide is not safe, chlorine dioxide is almost always produced on site.
ClO2 is a highly effective biocide that kills bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi and protozoa. Used properly, ClO2 has little or no effect on human, animal or fish cells and is safe to use.
ClO2 is unsurpassed in its disinfection capabilities throughout water systems, also in “dead end” areas. For this reason, ClO2 is often used to disinfect chilled water, municipal water systems and hot and cold water systems in hospitals and healthcare facilities, where bacteria such as Legionella can prove to be stubbornly resistant to other biocides, chlorine in particular.
Furthermore, chlorine dioxide does not affect taste or form toxic chloramines or haloforms (THM). This is a characteristic that makes ClO2 ideal for flavor sensitive applications such as wine and brewing.
