Chemical Sterilizer
Chlorine dioxide generator is a commonly used chemical sterilizer
Chlorine dioxide is less corrosive than chlorine and superior for the control of legionella bacteria. Chlorine
dioxide is superior to some other secondary water disinfection methods in that chlorine dioxide: 1) is an EPA
registered biocide, 2) is not negatively impacted by pH, 3) does not lose efficacy over time (the bacteria will
not grow resistant to it) and 4) is not negatively impacted by silica and phosphate, which are commonly used
potable water corrosion inhibitors.
It is more effective as a disinfectant than chlorine in most circumstances against waterborne pathogenic
microbes such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa – including the cysts of Giardia and the oocysts of
Cryptosporidium.
The use of chlorine dioxide in water treatment leads to the formation of the by-product chlorite, which is
currently limited to a maximum of 1 ppm in drinking water in the USA.[12]:4–33 This EPA standard limits the use
of chlorine dioxide in the USA to relatively high-quality water, or water that is to be treated with iron-based
coagulants (iron can reduce chlorite to chloride)
Chlorine dioxide sterilization is a not expensive method of sterilization which can be used in municipal water supply and other purpose.
