Continuous Disinfection & Chlorine Dioxide

Why do I need a Continuous Disinfection Unit?

All commercial domestic water systems should have a continuous bacterial control regime in place. Traditionally, most systems have used temperature control, hence the need to regularly monitor this aspect. Increasingly however, continuous injection of chemical disinfectants is used as an alternative. This must be completed under approval of The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI). The most common chemical disinfectant used for these purposes is Chlorine Dioxide, normally generated at the point of injection by the controlled blending of two chemicals.

There are many benefits of this system which include 24/7 protection and potentially massive energy savings. There are numerous applications that would benefit from this system.

What is Chlorine Dioxide?

Chlorine Dioxide is a safe and potent biocide which is approved for continuous use at levels between 0.1 and 0.5ppm and is effective over a wide pH range in both hard and soft water.

‘The ideal biocide’ — Chlorine Dioxide sounds like just another form of chlorine, but is in fact very different. As a true dissolved gas Chlorine Dioxide is stable and does not react with water. This allows it to ‘travel’ in solution and penetrate micro-organisms by molecular diffusion, thereby attacking bio film at the base of the film, where it is attached, allowing rapid removal.
