Chlorine Dioxide
Oxiperm Pro systems produce chlorine dioxide using diluted solutions of sodium chlorite (NaClO2 7,5%) and hydrochloric acid (HCl 9%). They are available in four capacity levels, producing 5, 10, 30 and 60 g/h of chlorine dioxide respectively.
This capacity is sufficient to treat up to 150 m2 of drinking water per hour at the maximum admissible concentration of 0.4 mg/l ClO2.
Chlorine dioxide is produced on demand from diluted solutions using the reliable sodium chlorite / hydrochloric acid, in accordance with the German Drinking Water Directive.
The chlorine dioxide solution produced is stored in an integrated or external batch tank and is added to the drinking water pipe as
required using the integrated dosing pump or an external dosing pump.

Chlorine Dioxide Applications
Usually, disinfection is the first step of pathogen reduction, in order to continue operating a drinking water installation. An ideal means of ensuring the sterility of drinking water is to use chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant. Chlorine dioxide is highly effective against all types of germs and has a long dwell time in the tubing system, which means it disinfects even without re-dosing. The big advantage of chlorine dioxide over other disinfectants is its effectiveness against biofilms. It destroys the existing biofilm, thus removing the breeding ground for microorganisms, and prevents it from building up again.
Ideal application areas for Oxiperm Pro include combating germs and pathogens, such as legionella in building installations, disinfect - ing cooling water systems, and disinfecting drinking water in water plants or industrial processes.
Chlorine dioxide is often used in the food and beverage industry for disinfection of process water or for CIP and bottle washing because it doesn’t change the taste or smell of the treated water.
Chlorine Dioxide Product Benefits
Compact System
Oxiperm Pro can also be installed in confined spaces, as operation and maintenance are performed exclusively from the front.
Low Operating Costs
This intelligent method for producing chlorine dioxide functions with minimal need for chemicals and thus saves up to 40% of chemical costs over other systems on the market. In comparison with thermal disinfection, up to 90% of the operating costs can be saved.
Stable Product Solution
With a chlorine dioxide concentration of 2 g/l (2000 ppm), the product solution can be stored for several days. The low concentration makes the solution safe to handle.
Integrated measurement value logging device
A chlorine dioxide control unit can be easily retrofitted as the connection for a measuring device for chlorine dioxide as well as pH or Redox (measuring cell) is already in place in the system control.
Little Installtaion Work
Optional accessories simplify assembly and start-up. In fact, the system can be connected and taken into operation without even interrupting the building’s water supply. This represents a decisive cost factor when it comes to decontaminating hospitals or nursing homes.
Robust Design
Oxiperm Pro’s robust design ensures high operational reliability and lower maintenance costs. Furthermore, the newly designed control system makes for straightforward and user-friendly operation and opens up a number of application areas for discrete disinfection of drinking water installations.
Wide Field of Applications
Besides continuous operation, the optional external batch tank allows the use of Oxiperm Pro for shock disinfection or in cleaning applications, such as CIP
Chlorine Dioxide And Pathogens
Legionella are rod-shaped bacteria that enter drinking water systems and start to reproduce. Especially in temperatures between 30 and 40 °C Legionella reproduce quickly. The bacteria can enter the lungs when a person inhales aerosols containing Legionella when showering. They can cause a life-threatening form of pneumonia known as legionellosis. The ideal breeding ground for legionella in drinking water systems can be found in biofilm, a slimy layer on the inside of water pipes, where other pathogens also build up and repro duce. Legionella also establish themselves in amoebae, which offer them protection against conventional disinfection methods.
Using Oxiperm Pro ensures reliable removal of the biofilm with all pathogens and Legionella present in piping and prevents re-infestation. For decontamination, disinfection represents only a part of the accompanying measures, e.g. constructional modifications. Oxiperm Pro OCD-162-5 and -10 systems are designed for small or medium-sized buildings with water flows up to 25m3/h. Oxiperm Pro OCD-162-30 and -60 systems are suited for disinfection tasks in waterworks or applications in the food and beverage industry.
