Intermittent Feeding of Aseptrol~R Tablets Redefines the Role of Chlorine Dioxide in Small and Mid-sized Cooling Water Systems

摘要

Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizing biocide. Additionally, it is a gas and is water-soluble, which enables it to penetrate entire sections of a water treatment system. Chlorine dioxide provides several advantages over traditional chlorine. For example, the efficacy of chlorine dioxide is independent of pH (up to 10). Chlorine dioxide also does not chlorinate organics and does not produce trihalomethanes (THMs). As a biocide, chlorine dioxide exhibits broad-spectrum kill, showing efficacy, for example, against Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax) and Legionella pneumophelia. Furthermore, it is effective against microorganisms not controlled effectively by chlorine, such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
