Protecting Patients with Advanced On-Site Chlorine Dioxide Generation
Who we are
On-Site Chlorine Dioxide Systems for Healthcare Water Treatment & Legionella Control
Healthcare facilities require the highest standards of water hygiene to protect vulnerable patients, staff, and visitors. OxiMax eCD and ACD eChem on-site Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) generators provide a safe, reliable, and highly effective solution for controlling Legionella, biofilm, and waterborne pathogens throughout complex hospital and healthcare water systems.
Designed and manufactured by Australian water engineers, our systems generate high-purity Chlorine Dioxide on demand, eliminating the need to transport or store hazardous concentrations of disinfectants while providing continuous protection across the entire water distribution network.
Whether you operate a hospital, aged care facility, medical centre, rehabilitation clinic, dental practice, or specialist healthcare facility, OxiMax and ACD eChem systems deliver industry-leading water disinfection performance.

OxiMax Chlorine Dioxide Process
The OxiMax Chlorine Dioxide Process is an advanced on-site water disinfection technology that generates high-purity Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) exactly when it is required. Designed by Australian water engineers, OxiMax systems provide a safe, reliable and cost-effective solution for controlling bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae and biofilm across a wide range of potable, industrial and healthcare water applications.
Unlike conventional chlorination, Chlorine Dioxide is a selective oxidising biocide that rapidly penetrates biofilm and destroys microorganisms at their source. Because Chlorine Dioxide remains highly effective over a broad pH range and does not readily react with ammonia or organic matter, it provides superior disinfection performance throughout the entire water distribution system.
How the OxiMax Process Works
The OxiMax system automatically generates Chlorine Dioxide on-site using carefully controlled chemical reactions. The freshly generated ClO₂ solution is immediately dosed into the water system, where it:
- Penetrates and removes biofilm
- Eliminates Legionella and other waterborne pathogens
- Oxidises iron, manganese and sulphides
- Controls taste and odour-causing compounds
- Provides long-lasting residual disinfection throughout the distribution network
Generating Chlorine Dioxide on demand eliminates the need to transport or store concentrated Chlorine Dioxide, improving safety while ensuring maximum disinfectant strength.
Why Choose the OxiMax Process?
The OxiMax Chlorine Dioxide Process offers significant advantages over traditional chlorine-based disinfection methods:
- Superior biofilm penetration
- Highly effective Legionella control
- Broad-spectrum microbial disinfection
- Effective over a wide pH range
- Reduced formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products
- Long-lasting disinfectant residual
- Lower chemical consumption
- Automated, reliable operation
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Australian designed and manufactured
Typical Applications
OxiMax Chlorine Dioxide systems are widely used for:
- Healthcare facilities
- Hospitals and aged care
- Potable water treatment
- Cooling towers
- Industrial process water

common Questions
Explore Common Questions About Oximax products.
What is Chlorine Dioxide and why is it used in healthcare facilities?
Why is Legionella a concern in hospitals and healthcare facilities?Why is Legionella a concern in hospitals and healthcare facilities?
Healthcare facilities often have complex hot and cold water systems with storage tanks, long pipe runs and low-flow outlets that can encourage the growth of Legionella pneumophila. Vulnerable patients are at greater risk of developing Legionnaires' disease if exposed to contaminated water aerosols.
How does Chlorine Dioxide control Legionella?
Unlike conventional chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide penetrates and destroys biofilm where Legionella bacteria live and multiply. It continues to disinfect throughout the water distribution system, providing long-lasting protection against bacterial regrowth.
What are the advantages of on-site Chlorine Dioxide generation?
