Feedwater’s patented Activ-Ox system has been leading the market in the safe and efficient generation of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) for several years. They have now launched the Activ-Ox 2000 Compact dosing system which they claim is the most cost effective chlorine dioxide generator on the market and an important tool in the fight against deadly Legionnaires’ Disease.
Chlorine dioxide has been described as “the perfect biocide” having a unique combination of powerful oxidising capability and remarkable selectivity. This has meant that ClO2 is no longer a niche biocide and disinfectant but is increasingly being used to tackle bacteriological and microbial problems associated with the use of water in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Uses range from the disinfection of drinking water, to sanitisation in food and beverage applications such as breweries and dairies, and in more recent times, to the control of legionella bacteria in the domestic water in hospitals, hotels and other building services applications.
So what makes Activ-Ox different to chlorine dioxide systems? Managing Director, Tim Parkinson explains: “Chlorine Dioxide is a great biocide, disinfectant and sanitiser but you can’t buy a drum of it. It is in fact an unstable gas which has to be generated at point of use and dissolved in water to be able to work. This means that you need what is called a “chlorine dioxide generator”, which are complex dosing systems which have traditionally been expensive to buy and operate, unreliable and used hazardous chemicals.
A traditional chlorine dioxide generator often takes several hours to produce its full yield of chlorine dioxide which means that the generator reactor vessel has to hold a significant volume of extremely hazardous chlorine dioxide gas whilst the chemical reaction completes. A traditional chlorine dioxide generator is in essence a mini chemical production plant which should only really be used by a competent operator, but what we were seeing was that these specialist pieces of kit were finding their way into all kinds of applications for which they were not suited.
When we saw the potential for chlorine dioxide to control legionella in buildings to help prevent Legionnaires’ Disease, we recognised the need for a safe, efficient process for generating ClO2 that could be used by the non-specialist.
So we developed the patented Activ-Ox process which enables us to produce an incredible 95% chlorine dioxide yield instantly, dissolved directly in the water to be treated, using low hazard chemicals. Being able to produce chlorine dioxide instantly, on demand like that has enabled us to produce a much simpler and safer chlorine dioxide generator, indeed we actually dislike using the term “generator” because that suggests complexity and prefer to refer to it simply as a chlorine dioxide (ClO2) dosing system, because simplicity and safety go hand in hand.
We’ve been supplying Activ-Ox chlorine dioxide dosing systems for well over a decade now and with the new Activ-Ox 2000 Compact dosing system we aim bring the unique biocidal properties of chlorine dioxide to the smaller user such as nursing homes, office blocks and smaller hotels who have traditionally been put off by cost or safety concerns. We believe it is the simplest, safest and most cost effective chlorine dioxide dosing system on the market. So whether you want to treat a few litres of water or thousands of cubic metres per day we now have an Activ-Ox chlorine dioxide solution for you”
Feedwater Ltd is a leading UK based, Water Treatment Company established in 1976. Winner of 2 SMART Awards for innovation and with over 30 years of experience in industrial and commercial water treatment, Feedwater was helping prevent Legionnaires’ disease before most organisations had even heard of it. As well as their patented Activ-Ox chlorine dioxide technology they also provide a wide range of other water treatment products and services for the treatment of steam boilers, cooling water, and building services and process water applications.
