• Enhanced worker safety
Chlorine dioxide — providing superior disinfection
Solenis has decades of experience using chlorine dioxide There are a number of chemistries available for producing ClO2
(ClO2) as a disinfectant and oxidant in both water and process at customer sites offering various advantages depending on the
treatment applications across a variety of industries. When application. For microbiological control in larger applications,
used as part of a complete treatment program, ClO2 has proven such as cooling towers and once-through systems, Solenis has
to be highly effective in controlling aerobic and anaerobic launched its Generox CSR (concentrated submersible reactor)

listeria and spore-forming organisms.
Due to its fast action and lower redox potential, ClO2 can achieve
microbiological control while also providing reduced corrosion
rates. Additionally, the selective oxidizing properties of ClO2 can
lead to a much lower consumption rate compared to traditional
oxidizing disinfectants.
Because ClO2 is active over a broad pH range, it can be used in

a variety of applications including cooling towers, once-through
systems, potable water, process water and wastewater plants.
Many different industries benefit from ClO2 including chemicals
and general manufacturing, food and beverage, commercial
and institutional, pulp and paper, municipal, oil refining, and
power generation.

Generox CSR System — a proven system for safe and economical disinfection
Solenis’ Generox CSR system utilizes a generator together with completely under water (e.g., in the cooling tower basin, water
activator and oxidizer chemistries to provide a complete, safe tank, etc.). This helps to alleviate virtually any risk of gas leaks
and economical solution for producing ClO2. or explosions, and can minimize costs associated with related
monitoring equipment.
Compared to competitive technologies, the unique reactor
design of the Generox CSR generator delivers significant Additionally, the open reactor design provides for consistent
performance advantages in the areas of safety and monitoring, precursor conversion of more than 98%, which can lead to lower
conversion rates, as well as versatility for use with a variety of chemical consumption (15 to 20% compared to commercial
acids and concentrations. standard) providing customers with improved cost efficiencies.
The Generox CSR generator provides customers with a The Generox CSR generator can utilize sulfuric acid as
safe, effective and economical way to produce up to 50 kg of an alternative precursor which further improves the
ClO2 per hour. potential cost efficiencies by reducing chemical costs, as
well as eliminating the need for additional storage and
