Chlorine dioxide is highly effective when used to clean and disinfect water systems. Water hygiene is concerned with the effective management and disinfection of water to prevent pathogen proliferation, especially in stored water systems.
The use of chlorine dioxide in cooling towers, closed loops and cooling systems greatly assists in the control of Legionella bacteria, algae, planktonic bacteria, biofilm and scale, helping to control the presence of dangerous bacteria and maintain the efficiency of heat exchanger surfaces, reservoir intakes, and ancillary equipment.
