Markets & Applications

Markets
CDG Environmental’s chlorine dioxide products are used in a variety of markets. They are particularly well suited for municipal drinking water treatment, removal of bio fouling, such as Legionella, from cooling towers, various disinfection applications, animal drinking water purification, food processing, prevention of membrane fouling, destruction of bacteria in building drinking water systems, waste system odor control, paper processing, industrial cleaning, and paper manufacturing. These markets are served by professional water treating companies who have partnered with CDG to provide the proper hardware and dosing to provide efficient and safe solutions to customer problems.

CDG SOLUTION 3000™ liquid concentrate and GAS:SOLID™system both enjoy many approvals, certifications, listings & registrations across a number of state & federal agencies. View our approvals page to learn more.

MARKETS

The GAS:SOLID™system is used in municipalities across the U.S. to supply chlorine dioxide for drinking water purification to remove manganese and other hard to remove constituents. Over 50 systems have been installed nation-wide.
 
CDG SOLUTION 3000™ liquid concentrate is being used as an effective biocide in comfort cooling towers to eliminate bio fouling which can reduce cooling efficiency.   »Cooling Towers
 
Chlorine dioxide has been shown to be an effective agent in killing a number of harmful organisms; CDG SOLUTION 3000™ liquid concentrate can be used for food and non-food contact hard surface disinfection in food processing plants, research laboratories, and other settings.
 
CDG SOLUTION 3000™ liquid concentrate is being used to purify animal drinking water and can be used in a number of other agricultural applications to remove bio contamination in farm water, including the treatment of agricultural storage facilities, animal transport vehicles & confinement facilities.
 
Chlorine dioxide can be used for process plant disinfection and the removal of bacteria from water used in food processing. CDG SOLUTION 3000™ liquid concentrate has proven effective in the disinfection & treatment of poultry facilities.
 
Chlorine dioxide can be an effective agent to prevent bio contamination of reverse osmosis membranes thereby increasing the efficiency of the membrane and reducing the number of shutdowns and downtime associated with the cleanup of fouled membranes.
 
CDG SOLUTION 3000™ liquid concentrate is being used in hospitals and hotels to treat their internal water systems. The chlorine dioxide is effective against the legionella bacteria and a number of other harmful organisms.
 
Chlorine dioxide is effective in destroying odor causing chemicals that can be emitted from waste disposal sites.
 
Chlorine dioxide is an effective, inexpensive and environmentally friendly way to clean industrial equipment such as tanks and piping systems to eliminate bio contaminants.
 
Bacteria cause numerous problems in alkaline white water systems, including corrosion, production of explosive gases (e.g., methane) and the formation of bacterial bio film. Biofilm, which forms readily in white water systems, can become quite thick on walls; it can dislodge under a variety of conditions and result in defects in the finished paper or lost production due to tears in the paper.   »Paper Manufacturing
 

APPLICATIONS

Chlorine dioxide is used for a number of important purposes:

Chlorine dioxide, both in solution and in the gas phase, kills a broad range of pathogens, from viruses and bacteria to bacterial spores and encysted parasites to yeasts and fungi.
 
Chlorine dioxide, both in solution and in the gas phase, kills mold, including toxic molds such as Stachybotrus and Aspergillus.
 
Chlorine dioxide effectively penetrates biofilm, and kills the resident bacteria.
 
Chlorine dioxide effectively oxidizes many odor-causing compounds, especially mercaptans and sulfur compounds.
 
Chlorine dioxide oxidizes undesirable metals found in water—e.g., manganese, iron—and converts them from a soluble state to an insoluble state, which enables their removal by precipitation or filtering.
 
Chlorine dioxide effectively removes the color from many compounds, such as may be found in drinking water or wastewater.
 
Chlorine dioxide is used to pre-treat raw water, in order to destroy compounds that would react with chlorine in downstream processes; this reduces production of trihalomethanes (THM), haloacetic acids (HAA) and other chlorinated organic compounds.
