PureLine <br />1.0 C102 Introduction <br />Chlorine dioxide (C102) is a powerful oxidizing, bleaching and disinfecting agent. Originally discovered in <br />1811 by Sir Humphrey Davis, chlorine dioxide did not really come into commercial use until the mid- <br />1940's, mainly to supplement chlorine in wood pulp bleaching, water disinfection, and some specialty <br />bleaching processes. <br />The sudden increase in C102 use in the mid-1980's prompted investigation into other applications and <br />uses. It was discovered (or reconfirmed) that: <br />• C102 is a powerful oxidizer with 2.5 times the oxidizing power of chlorine, hydrogen peroxide and <br />sodium hypochlorite. <br />• C102 is very effective at breaking down inorganic sulfur and nitrogen -based compounds, in <br />particular hydrogen sulfide (H2S), iron sulfide (FeS), nitrates (NO2-), nitrites (NO3-), and nitrogen <br />oxides (NOX). <br />• C102 is specific in its action with the ability to break down unsaturated hydrocarbons, aldehydes, <br />mercaptans, disulfides, and certain polymer gels without destroying saturated hydrocarbons or <br />carboxyl acids. <br />• C102 acts as a free radical (like hydrogen peroxide) making it both very reactive and very fast <br />reacting. <br />• C102 is a very powerful biocide that attacks and kills microorganisms on a cellular level. <br />What Is Chlorine Dioxide Used For <br />Chlorine dioxide is environmentally friendly. In fact, chlorine dioxide technology protects the <br />environment and human health from bacteria and by-products formed by other disinfection methods. <br />For example, in the pulp and paper industry, the use of C102 has virtually eliminated dioxin in mill <br />wastewater and has led to significant improvements in surrounding ecosystems. As a result, the Federal <br />government is phasing out the use of chlorine in pulp mills over the next few years. <br />Advantages <br />PureLine exclusive patented C102 technology offers many benefits: <br />• Environmentally Friendly <br />• EPA/RMP & OSHA PSM Compliance <br />• Efficacy Over Broad pH Range <br />• Requires a shorter contact time (approx. 7-10 min.) <br />• Iron & Manganese Reduction <br />• Taste & Odor Control <br />• Turbidity and Color removal <br />• TOC Reduction <br />• CT Credit (EPA gives CT of 0.25 ppm@ 20 secs= 99.99% pathogens kill) <br />• Low Capital & Operating Costs <br />• Dependable operation <br />• Low maintenance <br />PureLine Treatment Systems • 1241 N.
