As well as being a powerful disinfectant, Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) is a highly effective oxidiser for tackling challenging industrial wastewater pollutants, including cyanides, phenols, sulphides, iron, and manganese.
The Smarter Alternative to Traditional Treatments
Where persistent industrial residuals are present at low levels, Chlorine Dioxide provides the ideal balance of cost efficiency and environmental responsibility, especially when compared with chemical‑heavy or capital‑intensive treatments based on peroxide or UV.
-
No Complex By‑Products
Unlike chlorine, ClO₂ does not produce hazardous chlorinated organics. -
Environmentally Friendly
Can often be discharged to watercourses without dechlorination, naturally degrading into harmless salts. -
Simpler Operation
Unlike peroxide‑based systems, ClO₂ requires no catalysts or pH adjustments, with most activity occurring within the normal pH range. -
Efficient & Cost‑Effective
Works at low dose rates, reducing overall chemical consumption and treatment costs.
Supporting Advanced Wastewater Systems
Chlorine Dioxide is often used as a “polishing agent” alongside advanced biological wastewater treatment systems. While biological processes handle the bulk of contaminants, ClO₂ ensures that residual pollutants are neutralised before discharge, supporting regulatory compliance and protecting the environment.
Proven Applications
ChloroKlean™ supplies Chlorine Dioxide solutions used successfully across industries such as:
-
Chemical Processing Plants
-
Mining and Refinery Operations
-
Petrochemical Facilities
-
Industrial Manufacturing Sites
Meeting Rising Regulatory Standards
Environmental regulations are becoming more stringent, with acceptable discharge limits for many industrial pollutants expected to fall by over 30% in the next five years. Chlorine Dioxide provides an effective, future‑proof solution to help operators stay ahead of these changes.
Quick Fact:
ClO₂ wastewater treatments typically require no dechlorination step prior to discharge — saving operators both time and cost.
