INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT MADE BETTER WITH CHLORINE DIOXIDE
Clean water is becoming more important than ever. For industries that use a lot of water, treating wastewater is not just about following the law — it’s about protecting our environment and saving resources. One powerful chemical that is helping industries do this better is chlorine dioxide.
In this blog, we’ll explain industrial wastewater treatment, how chlorine dioxide helps, and why SVS Aqua is a reliable choice for this solution.
WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT?
The water gets dirty when factories and industries use water in their processes — like washing, cooling, or making products. This water is called industrial wastewater.
It often contains:
- Oils, grease, and chemicals
- Dirt, heavy metals (like lead or mercury)
- Harmful bacteria or viruses
- Color and dyes
If this water is released into rivers or the ground without treatment, it can pollute the environment, harm both animals and humans, and lead to legal issues for companies.
That’s why it must be treated before being reused or released.
WHY WASTEWATER TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT?
Here are a few key reasons industries treat their wastewater:
- To protect the environment
- To follow government rules and avoid fines
- To recycle and reuse water
- To improve company image as eco-friendly
But not all treatment methods are equal. Some are outdated, slow, or create more waste. That’s why many industries are now using chlorine dioxide.
WHAT IS CHLORINE DIOXIDE?
Chlorine Dioxide (ClOâ‚‚) is a gas that works as a strong disinfectant. It is different from regular chlorine, even though their names sound similar. Chlorine dioxide is:
- Safer
- More powerful
- And doesn’t create harmful byproducts
When added to wastewater, chlorine dioxide quickly kills bacteria, viruses, and removes color and smell — without leaving behind dangerous chemicals.
- Kills Germs Fast– Chlorine dioxide destroys harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It even removes biofilm (a slimy layer that bacteria form in pipes), which regular chlorine cannot do.
- Works at All pH Levels– Many disinfectants stop working if the water is too acidic or too basic. But chlorine dioxide works well in a wide pH range (between 4 and 10), which makes it flexible and reliable.
- Doesn’t Make Harmful Byproducts– Unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide does not react with organic matter to form toxic chemicals like trihalomethanes (THMs). That makes it safe for the environment.
- Less Corrosion– Chlorine dioxide is less corrosive to machines and pipes. This helps industries reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment life.
