WCS Group has been appointed as service partner for DWW/ClO2IX® in the UK. All customers now have additional access to Catalytic Chlorine Dioxide plant options delivering high quality, safe chlorine dioxide generation.
Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a well-known, effective oxidizer and biocide. It is an ideal disinfection solution for the control of Legionella and pathogens and is used widely for disinfection and secondary disinfection in hospitals, hotels, large commercial buildings, care home and in industrial applications.
Why isn't Chlorine Dioxide used more?
Put simply, it is hard to make and requires mixing concentrated chemicals and by using electricity. Once made, storage can be an issue. UV light, heat and time degrade and the dissolved gas does not want to stay in solution. In addition, these problems are more severe in concentration than they are in dilute solutions.
An altogether better solution
WCS Group can now bring to all UK customers a tried and tested Chlorine Dioxide generation plant solution delivering high quality, safe Chlorine Dioxide generation with an instant 700 PPM of 95% purity product, available at all volumes. In order to make Chlorine Dioxide, chlorous acid must first be formed. The ClO2IX® systems produce a solution of chlorous acid without residual Na+ by using cation exchange resin in the H+ form. This removes the Na+ from the sodium chlorite and replaces it with H+ to form pure chlorous acid.
Once the pure chlorous acid is formed, the reaction to Chlorine Dioxide can commence. By utilizing catalytic technology, the ClO2IX® systems convert virtually all (> 98.5%) of the chlorous acid to Chlorine Dioxide. This occurs instantaneously. The resultant dilute 700 mg/l Chlorine Dioxide product contains no chlorine and virtually no chlorite. Because of the ability for the ClO2IX® systems to dispense in a continuous rather than a batch process, the need for onsite storage of Chlorine Dioxide is removed.
James Greenwood, Sales Director of WCS Group commented; "We are delighted to be ClO2IX® partner in the UK. We see the addition of Catalytic Chlorine Dioxide Generation to be a significant benefit for many UK customers and site operators and would like to thank the ClO2IX® team for their support."
