Prominent Fluid Controls can now offer new systems for the generation of chlorine dioxide, based on Eka Chemicals's patented Purate technology
This follows on from the recent announcement from Prominent Dosiertechnik and Eka whereby Eka have granted Prominent a manufacturing and marketing licence for Purate technology.
Prominent says it is already well established in the supply of chlorine dioxide generators with the manufacture of the renowned Bello Zon systems.
The addition of the Purate range extends the capability to the treatment of very large water quantities.
Depending on the model, up to 200kg/h ClO2 can be produced.
Prominent now claims the widest range of chlorine dioxide generators on the market and can now cover the complete needs of the global industrial and municipal water markets for chlorine dioxide applications.
Since chlorine dioxide cannot easily be transported, chlorine dioxide generators are used to produce the chemical on demand.
Chlorine dioxide is widely used as an oxidant and biocide in markets such as drinking water, cooling towers, pulp and paper, phenol destruction, seawater cooling, odour control, waste water, and others.
The patented Purate procedure produces chlorine dioxide by the reaction of sodium chlorate with hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid.
The chlorine dioxide is generated with a yield above 95% and is of high purity and free of chlorine and chlorite.
The procedure is certified according to NSF 60 and 61 and FDA-approved.
