V-GEN 511 Chlorine Dioxide Precursor
V-GEN 511 chlorine dioxide precursor is a chlorite-based reagent specifically designed and only to be used in conjunction with V-GEN HPLUS in one of WaterPro's chlorine dioxide generators in order to safely generate chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide can be used as a biocide or as a chemical oxidant and is recommended in a number of applications:
-
Sterilisation of wash water in food processing plants as an alternative to chlorine or peracetic acid (PAA).
-
In contaminated cooling towers where traditional oxidising biocides have very high product demand resulting in poor biofilm control or unacceptable AOX levels.
-
As a chlorine alternative in once-through cooling systems to control micro and macro fouling.
-
As a chemical oxidant to reduce/remove contaminants such as sulphides, mercaptans, phenols, tertiary amines, etc.
-
As an odour control agent. Product Benefits
Chlorine dioxide produced from V-GEN 511 has the following benefits:
-
Less reactive with organic materials than traditional halogens like chlorine and bromine, therefore, can be more cost effective in heavily fouled systems.
-
No halogen odour from treated water.
-
Environmentally friendly: will not result in chlorinated by-products such as trihalomethane (THM) or adsorbable organic halogens (AOXs), as is the case with chlorine and bromine treatments.
-
Very effective at penetrating biofilms and dislodging deposits.
