Criteria

Chlorine

XzioX 0.35% Cl02

Bio film eradication in water circuits

Limited eradication due to lack of penetration of the bio film

Penetrates the Bio film completely and eradicates it very well.

Deodorization

Production of smell and taste influenced by reaction with Phenols, Amines and Algae.

Deodorization characteristics are good, therefore smell and taste causers in water like Phenols, Amines and Algae are avoided/not produced!

PH-Value during disinfection.

Disinfection only at pH-Values < 7,5. Limited disinfection of concrete based pipeline circuits.

Disinfection is pH-Value independent within a bandwidth of pH 4 < x < 10. Effective disinfection of concrete based pipeline circuits.

Building of cancer causing THM’s and AOX.

Strong building due to reaction with organic material in water.

No THM building in drinking water. Only very limited AOX Building.

Building of mucous glands or mucous membranes irritating chloramines.

All Amines are transformed to chloramines when reacting with chlorine.

No reaction with primary or secondary amines and therefore NO chloramines are built. Typical water odour is disturbed by oxidation.

Biocide and anti-virus efficacy

Good biocide characteristics. Bad anti-virus characteristics decrease strong when the pH-Value exceeds > 7,5.

Excellent biocide and anti-virus characteristics.
When pH-values exceed > 7,5 ca. 20 – 30 mal strong disinfectant working compared to chlorine.

Algicidal working.

Only when using high concentrated dosages of Chlorine.

Excellent algicidal working by permanent disinfection (0,2 – 0,5mg/L) dosage.

Oxidizing working.

Strong oxidation that only oxidizes by AOX-building

Up to 2,6 times stronger oxidation compared to chlorine. Oxidation takes place by oxygen.

Net Stability.

Temperatures > 30°C disturb chlorine very fast.
Less selective reaction then chlorine dioxide.

Still stabile in closed systems at temperatures 30°C < x < 45°C reacts more selective than chlorine.

Level of corrosion.

High corrosion level.

Contains hardly any chlorine and therefore the level of corrosion is very limited.

Rising capacity.

Water containing chlorine has a strong adhesion characteristic and therefore a lot of rinsing water is required for the desired effect.

Excellent rinsing capacities and therefore less rinsing water required for the desired effect.
