PATENTED REACTION CHAMBER
NanoWater Manufacturers two main types of Chlorine Dioxide Generator:
Reaction Column Type Generator: Here the generation is done in a towering column where the two precursors are injected in a reaction column along with water and the produced ClO2 is dosed to the application point
Underwater Type Generator: Here the generation is done underwater at the point of application. The precursors are injected into a specially designed mixing chamber, made out of non-corrosive material. Proprietary mixing reactor (NanoFlow™ Reactor ) has been developed by NanoWater engineers ,hence The chemicals are mixed perfectly in a reactor for maximum output with the lowest possible consumption of chemicals and maximum operating safety ,the reactor is made of food-safe PVDF.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The chlorine dioxide generation system shall be an all-liquid type with various production capacities . The units are designed to produce and consistently maintain a product yield greater than 95%. The system shall be a two or three chemical reagents type, utilizing diluted hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite and other chemicals , fed at a 1:1 ratio, in the production of chlorine dioxide gas. The reagents are to be metered into the generator by dosing pumps. The chlorine dioxide gas produced by the generator shall be mixed with the integral ejector motive water and applied as a solution. The generator shall be equipped with a check valve on the ejector motive water line and a check valve on the chlorine dioxide solution line. A relief valve shall be included to protect the dosing pumps from over pressure. NanoWater supplies , manual and Automatic generation systems 1- Manual Systems Reagent flow into the system, or reagent pump flowrate, shall be manually controlled via the operator interface keypad on the controller, thereby controlling the rate of chlorine dioxide gas production. 2- Automatic Systems The chlorine dioxide generating system shall be flow paced. Reagent flow into the system shall be controlled by the controller, that will receive a 4-20 madc signal from the process (flowmeter or control source) and adjust the rate of reagent flow accordingly in order to ultimately control the rate of chlorine dioxide production. The chlorine dioxide generator frame shall be constructed of epoxy resin painted steel. The patented reaction chamber, mounting plates, ejector and mixing chamber shall be constructed of PVC.
Safety interlocks shall be provided to automatically shut down the system in the event of a loss of vacuum, pump failure or low reagent flow.

RiteDos-Ultra™ Series``
The two-part ClO2 generator reacts 25% sodium chlorite and chlorine gas to generate chlorine dioxide. This is the most cost-effective generator reaction if chlorine gas is available. The reaction is shown below:
2NaClO2 + Cl2 → 2ClO2 + 2NaCl
Both chemical reactions listed above can theoretically yields 100% conversion of sodium chlorite to chlorine dioxide and a generator efficiency of greater than 95% of the theoretical yield is achievable.
Cl2o Purity :Excellent, excess of Cl2
Advantage: Lowest Cost, Less by-products than chlorate reaction
Theoretically, 1 lb of chlorine gas is required for each 2.6 lb of sodium chlorite. However, an excess of chlorine is often used to lower the pH to the required minimum of 3.5 and to drive the reaction to completion. Sodium hypochlorite can be used in place of the gaseous chlorine to generate chlorine dioxide. This process requires the addition of sulfuric or hydrochloric acid for pH control.
Cost of the Chlorine Dioxide Generator
The cost of a chlorine dioxide generator depends on several variables, including:
Generator type
Tank options
Flow pacing
Plant flow range
Capacity range
Power available
Site constraints
Advantage
No chlorinated by-products are produced.
Chlorine dioxide is much more stable than chlorine and therefore has a higher disinfecting capacity.
The disinfecting effect is not diminished in water with a pH of 4-10.
Chlorine dioxide reliably kills legionella in water and the biofilm is sustainably impaired.
Chlorine dioxide has very good bactericidal, sporicidal, virucidal and algicidal properties.
The disinfecting effect is, for example, more powerful than with chlorine.
