Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) is a powerful oxidizing agent, primarily known for its disinfecting properties. It is widely used in water treatment and various industrial processes. Even at low concentrations, chlorine dioxide is highly effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi—without forming undesirable chlorine-based byproducts such as trihalomethanes (THMs).

This makes chlorine dioxide particularly valuable for targeted biological contamination control while maintaining a low risk of harmful residues. Additionally, it remains effective across a broad pH range, making it a flexible and reliable disinfectant.

JUMO chlorine dioxide sensors are used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Water and wastewater treatment: Monitoring and controlling chlorine dioxide concentrations to ensure microbiological water quality.

• Food and beverage industry: Hygienic disinfection of equipment, pipelines, and process water to ensure product safety.

• Chemical industry: Monitoring disinfection and process water treatment.

• Pharmaceutical industry: Ensuring hygienic conditions in water treatment and production systems.

• Cooling tower systems: Preventing biofilm formation and Legionella through precise chlorine dioxide dosing.

Chlorine dioxide is also widely used in other fields, such as:

• Environmental protection: Disinfection of contaminated water and reduction of organic pollutants.

• Hospitals and public facilities: Surface disinfection and water treatment to reduce infection risks.

• Pulp and paper industry: As a bleaching agent for environmentally friendly pulp processing.

• Agriculture: Disinfection of irrigation systems and drinking water for livestock.

• Beverage bottling: Hygienic safety in CIP (Cleaning in Place) processes using chlorine dioxide.
