Chlorine Dioxide By Acuro Organics Limited

Like ozone and chlorine, chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing biocide and not a metabolic toxin. This means that chlorine
dioxide kills microorganisms by disruption of the transport of nutrients across the cell wall, not by disruption of a
metabolic process.Stabilised chlorine dioxide is ClO2 buffered in an aqueous solution. Adding an acid to the required concentration activates the disinfectant.Of the oxidizing biocides, chlorine dioxide is the most selective oxidant. Both ozone and chlorine are much more reactive than chlorine dioxide, and they will be consumed by most organic compounds. Chlorine dioxide however, reacts only with reduced sulphur compounds, secondary and tertiary amines, and some other highly reduced and reactive organics. This allows much lower dosages of chlorine dioxide to achieve a more stable residual than either chlorine or ozone. Chlorine dioxide, generated properly (all chlorine dioxide is not created equal), can be effectively used in much higher organic loading than either ozone or chlorine because of its selectivity.
The usage of chlorine dioxide comes with several advantages:
1.It is a very powerful disinfectant and biocide;
2.It prevents and removes biofilm;
3.Unlike chlorine, Chlorine dioxide is effective at pH between 4 and 10. No dumping and filling with fresh water required;
4.The corrosive effects of chlorine dioxide are minimal compared to the corrosive effects of plain tap water;
