Disinfection By-Products (DBPs)

Home Knowledge base Disinfection By-Products (DBPs)

DisinfectionBy-Products are chemical compounds formed when disinfectants like chlorine,bromine, or ozone react with natural organic matter in water. These includeTrihalomethanes (THMs), Haloacetic Acids (HAAs), and Mutagen X (MX), many ofwhich are toxic or carcinogenic. They can form in drinking water, industrialeffluents, and swimming pools. Alternative oxidants such as chlorine dioxideavoid forming THMs and HAAs, making them a safer and more responsible choice.

TwinOxide for Disinfection of Cooling Systems

Cooling systems risk corrosion, deposition, MIC, and Legionella. TwinOxide generates a stable 0.3% chlorine dioxide solution - safe, effective, and free from harmful by-products.

Public buildings

Legionella control in public buildings. Chlorine dioxide protects hospitals, hotels, and public buildings by controlling Legionella, eliminating biofilm, and ensuring safe, residue-free water systems.

Beverage industry

Chlorine dioxide ensures clean water and hygienic systems in beverage production - removing biofilm, odours, and microorganisms without affecting taste or quality.

Food industry

Chlorine dioxide delivers safe, effective disinfection in food processing - removing pathogens, biofilm, and odours while protecting food quality and compliance.

Livestock

Chlorine dioxide improves water quality, removes biofilm, and disinfects surfaces in livestock systems - supporting healthier animals, better growth, and safer farming practices.

Agriculture

Chlorine dioxide improves irrigation water quality, removes biofilm, and controls pathogens supporting healthier crops, stronger roots, and more efficient farming systems.

Industrial Water Treatment

Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidant for industrial water treatment. It provides reliable disinfection, biofilm and odour control, and chemical oxidation - improving efficiency, safety, and environmental performance.

Municipal Water Treatment

Chlorine dioxide is widely used in municipal water treatment for potable water and wastewater. It controls taste and odour, prevents harmful by-products, and ensures safe, reliable disinfection across the entire network.

TwinOxide Compared to Chlorine

TwinOxide creates a 0.3% chlorine dioxide solution without THMs or HAAs, works across all pH levels, controls biofilm, and is safer to handle than chlorine.
