c) Chlorine Dioxide. Chlorine dioxide can be
generated using a solution of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) and a
solution feed-type gas chlorinator.
(1) Solutions are fed through packed media reactor
for generation of chlorine dioxide in solution.
(2) Optimum operating conditions are pH ≤ 4;
chlorine solution ≥ 500 milligram per liter (mg/L); 1:1 weight
ratio of pure chlorite to chlorine; and reaction time ≥ 1.0
