Water disinfection: Safely generating up to 5000 grams of chlorine dioxide per hour
• New Diox-A product line for the preparation of chlorine • For removal of odours and taste causing compounds in industrial applications • For the disinfection of process or cooling water Diox-A 5000 is an especially powerful but also safe chlorine dioxide generator developed by Siemens Water Technologies. Depending on its version, the Diox-A 5000 can generate up to 2,500 or 5,000 grams of chlorine dioxide per hour for the disinfection of process or cooling water. The infeed is via a double injector, which increases system safety because the required basic chemicals – sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid – are not mixed in their undiluted states.
