CHLORINE DIOXIDE POWDER (CDD5000) FOR DRINKING WATER DISINFECTION
THE SMARTER ALTERNATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL CHLORINATION
CDD 5000 Chlorine Dioxide is one of the most effective and safest solutions for drinking water disinfection, eliminating harmful microorganisms more reliably than conventional chlorine. Unlike chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite, which create carcinogenic by-products and affect taste, CDD 5000 ensures clean, safe, and great-tasting water.
At SVS Aqua, we are India’s only established and Ministry-approved manufacturer of chlorine dioxide solutions for drinking water treatment. Our 20,000 sq. ft. CGMP-certified facility is ISO 9001:2015 compliant and NSF-ANSI 60 certified, ensuring the highest quality standards in every batch. Our chlorine dioxide solutions are trusted across 8 Indian states (Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Goa, Maharashtra) and exported to 23+ countries worldwide.
REASONS CONVENTIONAL CHLORINATION IS INADEQUATE
The most used technique for disinfecting water is chlorination; however, it has significant disadvantages.
- Generates hazardous byproducts, including trihalomethanes (THMs).
- Associated with serious health concerns such cancer and damage to the lungs, liver, bones, and eyes.
- Makes water smell and taste bad.
- Has a shorter residual protection duration and requires more contact time.
- Causes corrosion to shorten the lifespan of water treatment installations.
These concerns are confirmed by reports from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
WHAT IS CHLORINE DIOXIDE POWDER (CDD 5000)?
For disinfecting drinking water, the CDD 5000 is a sophisticated two-component powder system that produces a 0.50% (5000 PPM) pure chlorine dioxide solution. It doesn’t include free chlorine, in contrast to disinfectants based on chlorine.
- Chlorine dioxide is the active biocidal ingredient.
- Stronger than chlorine and chlorine-type disinfectants by at least ten times.
- Offers microbial control that lasts longer without producing hazardous byproducts.
NSF ANSI 60 and DIN EN 12671:2009-04 (for human drinking water treatment) have approved CDD 5000, guaranteeing that it satisfies strict international safety and performance requirements.
KEY BENEFITS OF CDD 5000 IN DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
Health & Safety Benefits
- Eliminates 99.9% of all waterborne microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, yeast)
- Produces no carcinogenic by-products (like THMs, HAAs, MX compounds)
- Maintains steady bactericidal efficacy across a wide pH range
- Recognized as a safe disinfectant by global standards
Operational Benefits
- Very short contact time: 1–5 minutes (vs. chlorine’s 30 minutes)
- Long residual disinfection capacity: up to 48 hours
- High efficiency in removing iron and manganese compounds
- Destroys algae-related taste and odor compounds
- Remains effective for 30 days after preparation
- Shelf life of powder: 2 years
Cost & Efficiency Benefits
- Non-corrosive → Extends plant life by 15–20% compared to chlorine
- Requires fewer chemicals for equal or better results
- Easy to transport, especially for rural and decentralized water supply systems
- Reduces operational costs by avoiding chemical obsolescence and system damage
POINTS OF CONSIDERATION
- Corrosion Control
Chlorine reduces plant life by up to 20%, while CDD 5000 is non-corrosive, protecting equipment and infrastructure.
- Easier Transportation
In rural and scattered water schemes, transporting conventional chemicals is costly and impractical. CDD 5000 is lightweight, easy to store, and simple to distribute.
- Longer Shelf Life
- Bleaching powder shelf life: 3 months
- Sodium hypochlorite shelf life: 1 month
- CDD 5000 shelf life: 2 years (powder) and 30 days (prepared solution)
This ensures minimal wastage and reduced costs.
- Residual Effect & Contact Time
- Chlorine: Needs 30 minutes contact time, lasts 3–4 hours
- CDD 5000: Works in 1–5 minutes, residual protection up to 24–48 hours
