What Are the Functions and Working Principles of Chlorine Dioxide Generators?
Chlorine dioxide generators are professional disinfection equipment widely adopted in tap water treatment, sewage purification, public space disinfection, as well as food and medical industries. Shandong Huashi Pharmaceutical has specialized in the chlorine dioxide field for over 40 years. Drawing on our extensive experience in production, installation and on-site commissioning, we hereby give a clear explanation of the practical functions and working mechanisms of chlorine dioxide generators.

Main Functions of Chlorine Dioxide Generators
The core function of a chlorine dioxide generator is to produce chlorine dioxide disinfectant on-site to meet disinfection and purification demands of various water bodies and environments. Its primary functions are listed as follows:
It can thoroughly eliminate harmful microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, spores and fungi. It delivers reliable disinfection against common pathogenic bacteria in drinking water and sewage, and is safer to use compared with traditional chlorine-containing disinfectants.
It oxidizes and decomposes pollutants in water such as organic matter, algae, ammonia nitrogen and sulfides, effectively eliminating foul odors and discoloration, so that tap water, sewage and aquaculture water can meet discharge or usage standards.
It is extensively applied in waterworks, hospital sewage treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, food factories, breeding farms and public areas. It can not only safeguard drinking water safety, but also complete disinfection of environments and equipment surfaces.
When properly operated, it does not generate harmful by-products like chloroform, complying with environmental protection and sanitary safety standards. It is also a commonly used disinfection device in national emergency epidemic prevention.

Working Principles of Chlorine Dioxide Generators
Chemical-process chlorine dioxide generators are the mainstream type currently in use and the mature technology promoted by Shandong Huashi Pharmaceutical, with straightforward working principles:
The equipment mainly adopts sodium chlorite / sodium chlorate and hydrochloric acid as raw materials. The raw materials are mixed at preset ratios inside the reactor and undergo chemical reactions under appropriate temperature and pressure to produce high-purity chlorine dioxide gas on-site.
The generated chlorine dioxide gas is sucked into water via a water ejector and fully dissolved to form disinfectant solution. The equipment then automatically doses the disinfectant into target water bodies or spaces to achieve continuous and stable disinfection.
The whole process is automatically controlled by the equipment. The reaction rate and dosing volume can be adjusted according to water flow and water quality, featuring simple operation and stable operation.
