Chlorine dioxide in beverage water treatment
Chlorine dioxide in beverage water treatment
(OP)
I am looking at on-site generation of chlorine dioxide for the disinfection of process water to be used in beverage manufacturing.
The potential problems associated with chlorine dioxide that I am aware of are:
1. Disinfection-by-products (chlorite and chlorate)
2. Off-odor/off-taste in case of chlorine dioxide residual levels above 0.4ppm
3. Off-odor/off-taste in case of chlorite residual in treated water recombining with free chlorine
4. Safety
5. Impurities from the raw materials (sodium chlorite, HCl)
My question is:
What else can go wrong? Any practical experince from the beverage industry is welcome.
