Chlorine dioxide in beverage water treatment

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.

How about the expensive cost?

The chlorite produced by reduction of chlorine dioxide as demand is exerted has been found to cause certain types of anemia and other physiological effects in animals.
