Devices for in situ generation of biocides - Chlorine dioxide generated from sodium chlorite by acidification or oxidation

This document contains requirements for dosing systems for chlorine dioxide generation according to the chlorite-chlorine gas process, the chlorite-acid process and the chlorite-sodium peroxodisulphate process, which are used for the disinfection and oxidation of substances in water.
The chlorine dioxide (ClO2) solution is produced on site (in situ) by automated mixing of chemical precursors. This document applies to the treatment of water for human consumption, rinsing water for filters for swimming and bathing pools as well as for other uses (e.g. cooling water, process water, etc.

Anlagen zur In-Situ-Erzeugung von Bioziden - Chlordioxid, hergestellt aus Natriumchlorit durch Ansäuren oder Oxidation

Dieses Dokument enthält Anforderungen an Dosiersysteme zur Chlordioxid-Erzeugung nach dem Chlorit-Chlorgas-Verfahren, dem Chlorit-Säure-Verfahren und dem Chlorit-Natriumperoxodisulfat-Verfahren, die für die Desinfektion und die Oxidation von Substanzen in Wasser verwendet werden.
Die Chlordioxid-(ClO2-)Lösung wird vor Ort (in situ) durch automatisiertes Mischen von chemischen Ausgangsstoffen (Präkursoren) hergestellt. Dieses Dokument gilt für die Aufbereitung von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch, von Spülwasser für Filter von Schwimm- und Badebecken sowie für andere Nutzungen (z. B. Kühlwasser, Prozesswasser usw.

Équipements pour la production in situ de biocides - Dioxyde de chlore produit par acidification ou oxydation de chlorite de sodium

Le présent document contient des exigences relatives aux systèmes de dosage permettant la production de dioxyde de chlore selon le procédé chlorite-chlore gazeux, le procédé chlorite-acide et le procédé chlorite-peroxodisulfate de sodium, qui sont utilisés pour la désinfection et l’oxydation des substances présentes dans l’eau.
La solution de dioxyde de chlore (ClO2) est produite sur place (in situ) par mélange automatisé de précurseurs chimiques. Le présent document s’applique au traitement de l’eau destinée à la consommation humaine, à l’eau de rinçage des filtres des piscines et des bassins de baignade, ainsi qu’à d’autres usages (par exemple, eau de refroidissement, eau de traitement, etc.).
