Applied Oxidation LLC products

AppOx L™ is actually a new series of EPA registered liquid chlorine dioxide precursors. The AppOx L liquids are used for the production of chlorine dioxide and are available in various concentrations and pack sizes, tailor made for your specific use.

AppOx D is our newest EPA registered dry chlorine dioxide precursor. Combined with a new generation component B and water, it produces a 0.4% (4,000ppm) chlorine dioxide (ClO2) solution. Its ease of use enables a wider public to benefit from the pros of chlorine dioxide, without the cons of a generator. With AppOx D, the “generator” is embedded in the simple dry powder kits. The dry components of AppOx D are easy to transport and stock and safe to use. Dosing of the chlorine dioxide stock solution is done by conventional,  plug and play chemical metering equipment. Due to its unique reaction chemistry and high chemical yield, AppOx D delivers a far more effective disinfection and oxidation power than other chlorine dioxide based products available in the market.

This liquid concentrate is an FDA, USDA and EPA registered pure chlorine dioxide. It obviates on-site production equipment; it requires no mixing or “activation”, which gives small users access to chlorine dioxide applications. CDG Solution 3000, the world’s first stable, ready-to-use liquid chlorine dioxide solution, was invented to control microorganisms in drinking water, process waters, piping systems, cooling towers, condensers and heat exchangers. It is easier to apply, safer to handle, and more effective than chlorine or bromine-based products.

AppOx D-3000™ comes in a two-component powder mixture that, when added to a set volume of water, produces a 0.3% (3,000ppm) solution of chlorine dioxide. AppOx D-3000™ enables a wider public to reap the benefits from chlorine dioxide, without the hassle of a generator. With AppOx D-3000™, the generator is embedded in the powders. The powder components of AppOx D-3000™ are easy to transport and stock and safe to use. Dosing is done by conventional plug and play metering equipment. As a made-up concentrate AppOx D-3000™ delivers a far more effective disinfection power than any other traditional disinfectants and a more rapid disinfection can be made through its self-dispersal action.

AO2™ is a two-component system that comes as a dry mix. Combination of the separate powders in a designated volume of tap water produces a chlorine dioxide solution at a concentration of 4,000 ppm. This concentrate is then simply dosed into the target water to produce safe, disinfected water. No capital investment in equipment or infrastructure, except for a simple metering pump, is required to start using AO2.

Although chlorine dioxide and chlorine bear the word “chlorine” in their names, their chemistries and behaviors significantly differ. Unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide does not need chlorination to perform its disinfection job. It works through oxidation (inactivation by electron exchange rather than chlorine atom exchange), penetrates bacteria cell walls and reacts with vital amino acids in the cytoplasm of the cell thereby killing the microorganism. Chlorine dioxide delivers the positive biocidal benefits of chlorine without any of the detriments and drawbacks known from chlorine. With chlorine dioxide there are no harmful disinfection by-products, fumes, odors, irritants, corrosion, explosions, hazardous handling, transportation and storage problems. Health and environmental issues caused by chlorine, like irritation of mucous membranes, eye and skin, and mutagenic problems, are eliminated.

Besides chlorine, certain industries have been using conventional oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides for disinfection and sanitation such as quats and peracetic acid. The disadvantages of these products are many and their disinfectant properties are limited by many factors.  Peracitic acid and quats are only effective only in high doses, adding more chemicals to the water and the environment. Peracetic acid produces acetic acid, which is very useful nourishment for microorganisms. Therefore bacteria may even grow more after using peracetic acid. Unlike chlorine dioxide, there is a risk of immunity building when using these biocides. Consequently, their uses are often rotated involving high costs. This is no longer needed when switching to chlorine dioxide.
