Chlorine Dioxide Applications and Benefits
When properly used, chlorine dioxide can provide absolute microbial control during your process while actually cutting operational costs. Biofilms and slime build-ups reduce operational profits. Pump and valve failures; restricted heat transfer; corrosion and pitting; plugging and flow resistance; all cost maintenance dollars.
