Consistent micro-compliance
Kills bacteria and viruses over a ph range, leaving no taste or odour.
Safe, reliable and automated
Turnkey solutions that are fully integrated.
Less corrosive chemicals
Wastewater reacts with 50% less HCC producing lower chlorides.
Chlorine dioxide is the ideal disinfection solution, killing effectively at a low dosage, while maintaining residual and eliminating all odours and taste.
Everything You Need To Know To Make An Informed Decision
Reinventing Disinfection Technology
Nanotech has reinvented chlorine dioxide as the preferred killing agent and mechanism, outperforming its fellow competitors by multiple log reductions, both safely and effectively. Chlorine Dioxide – The Nanotech way! Your ultimate solution to the invisible world of microbiological challenges has arrived.
Nanotech has re-engineered chlorine dioxide generation methods to adapt to changing customer requirements and sensitivity to dangerous byproducts and contaminants. Nanotech designed chlorine dioxide generators to produce PURE ClO2 gas dissolved in water with stoichiometric efficiencies.
Question – How do you choose between the vast array of chlorine dioxide technologies available on the market? You could choose from two-powder formulation, RTU or ready-to- use liquid, 2 chemicals, 3 chemicals, chlorine gas technology, chlorite or chlorate chemistries. How do you know which one is best for you?
Battle of the Biocides
A Focus on Chlorine Dioxide: The “Ideal” Biocide
The use of gaseous chlorine as a micro biocide for industrial cooling systems is declining because of safety, environmental and community impact considerations. Various alternatives have been explored, including bleach, bleach with bromide, bromo-chlorodimethyl hydantoin (BCDMH), non-oxidizing biocides, ozone, and chlorine dioxide, among others. Chlorine dioxide offers some unique advantages, due to its selectivity, effectiveness over a wide pH range, and speed of kill.
Chlorine Dioxide Technology
What makes OUR technology so uniquely different is our patent for under water reactors for concentrated chemicals, and SAFE vacuum systems for the municipal chlorine gas systems.
The true cost of hypo: it is NOT a cheap solution and you don’t get accompliance.
The use of Sodium hypochlorite has been the standard in most applications, BUT why then does it not work and why do you still fail most audits and don’t meet compliance goals?
Why?!
Let’s for the moment exclude all mechanical, maintenance and logistic challenges on the disinfection application side. Even if you look after the installation, which is cheap and easy, there is one fundamental principle you can’t do ANYTHING about.
That principle is the dissociation of sodium hypochlorite in water at various pH value. Unless you control this in a predetermined range you otherwise rely on the quality and pH supplied from the source, whether this is municipality or borehole.
If you Google dissociation of chlorine you will see all the facts backing up the information below.
So, let’s do the sums:
- Let’s use R7.50 per kg of product delivered
- Concentration is typically around 12 %
Sodium hypochlorite is 12 % active, let’s convert to 100 %, then hypo cost will be R 62.50/kg at full activity.
Fact:
- @ pH 6.5 HOCl available for disinfection is 95 %
- @ pH 7.5 HOCl available for disinfection is 48 %
- @ pH 8.0 HOCl available for disinfection is 22 %
- @ pH 8.5 HOCl available for disinfection is 10 %
- @ pH 9.0 HOCl available for disinfection is 3 %
Then, if hypo cost R 62.50/kg delivered, at 100 % activity, if the water source pH varies, this is what the costs are:
- @ pH 6.5 cost will be R 65.78/kg
- @ pH 7.5 cost will be R 130.21/kg
- @ pH 8.0 cost will be R 284.10/kg
- @ pH 8.5 cost will be R 625.00/kg
- @ pH 9.0 cost will be R 2083.33/kg
So, don’t be fooled by low and cheap cost per kg, this is one of the industry’s trade secrets.
BE INFORMED. YOU ARE PAYING MORE THAN YOU THINK – 40 times MORE !!
