Chlorine Generator Systems

Chlorine Dioxide (Cl02) is another technique to disinfect water. Chlorine Dioxide is generated electrolytically and this technique is suitable for Commercial and industrial use.

A two step reaction takes place :
• In the first step Chlorus acid is formed :
Na+ClO2- + H+ —> HClO2- + Na+ (1)

• In the second reaction Chlorine Dioxide is formed :
5 HClO2 —> 4 ClO2 + HCl + 2 H2O (2)
or HClO2 - e- —> ClO2 + H+ (3)
