Reduce costs and improve lab results by leveraging the efficacy and quick rinse of ultra-pure chlorine dioxide.
Your laboratories, manufacturing and general process water applications will benefit from the power of Selective Micro products. With Selective Micro products, you can remove all variability in water quality caused by biomass and organic contamination.
- Decontaminate water systems, membranes, fluid lines and reservoirs. Strip and remove biomass so lines remain clean longer; reduce recontamination.
- Decontaminate RO systems (including both sides of RO) as well as clean un-wetted surfaces and headspaces in water lines, tanks and distribution loops.
- Reduce service time and volume of water required.
Unlike bleach, peracetic acid or peroxide, which are commodity liquid chemicals, Selective Micro chlorine dioxide products rinse rapidly, leaving no residue, and are much less corrosive to system components because of greater selectivity and efficacy at lower concentration. For high purity water applications, use the Selective Micro 12G or the 750A depending on size of the application.
Usage Example
Selective Micro products come in the form of self-contained pouches or sachets. Simply add water to the pouch to generate a specific volume and concentration or add a sachet directly to your volume of water in a tank or container. Circulate at a concentration of about 25 ppm. This is dependent upon the organic debris in the lines and tanks as well as the size of the system you wish to sanitize. Cleaning effectiveness is based on solution concentration and contact time. With circulation times ranging from a few hours to overnight (depending on the organic material in the system) Selective Micro products will fully clean any high purity water system. Because Selective Micro products generate high purity chlorine dioxide, it will rapidly rinse from tanks, reservoirs, lines and surfaces therefore permitting the ability to be producing results again in less than one hour. Flush Selective Micro product from system after appropriate circulation and contact time.
FAQ’s
Chlorine dioxide use continues to grow due to its anti-microbial properties and neutral pH. Still there are many questions regarding its use and properties. Here are a few of the most commonly asked questions and the answers.
What does Selective Micro make?
- Selective Micro products are nearly pure (>99.9%) solutions of chlorine dioxide in water. Selective Micro products are generated via patented micro-reactor technology, designed to produce a specific amount of chlorine dioxide simply by adding water.
What are Selective Micro products used for?
- Selective Micro products are used for regular maintenance, cleaning and decontamination of water systems to remove organic matter from fluid lines and reservoirs.
Why use Selective Micro products over alternative treatments?
- Selective Micro products are fast-working, effective, highly compatible and extremely quick-rinsing alternative to other cleaning agents on the market. Chlorine dioxide has more capacity to remove organic matter due to its inherent chemical characteristics. Since it offers much greater selectivity towards key organics, it presents superior material compatibility over other commonly used products, like chlorine. Because Selective Micro products are a pure gas in water, they will rapidly rinse from any surface or system (1-2 volumetric flushes).
Has chlorine dioxide been used before?
- Chlorine dioxide has been recognized as an effective cleaning agent for decades. It is used in a wide range of hygiene-related applications worldwide. Municipal water systems have used chlorine dioxide to treat drinking water for over 50 years.
Why couldn’t I use chlorine dioxide before?
- Selective Micro offers a patented technology that makes generating pure chlorine dioxide on-site very simple. Until recently, chlorine dioxide could only be produced by complicated, expensive chemical generators or poor quality “stabilized” solutions that present material compatibility hazards. Selective Micro offers a point-of-use (just add water) way to generate ultra-pure chlorine dioxide, and without the capital outlay necessary for an on-site chemical generator.
What is the shelf life of Selective Micro products?
- In the manufacturer’s original unopened package, our products offer a shelf life of 18 months. Check the liquid with a test strip for potency if the generated product is more than 2 weeks old.
Will these products damage my equipment?
- No. Compatibility testing at 5 ppm and 100 ppm has demonstrated that Selective Micro products are compatible with most metals and plastics and should not damage pumps, valves, reservoirs, or water lines.
Are Selective Micro products hazardous?
- No. Selective Micro products require no certifications for storage, handling, or use. There is no hazardous waste disposal. Plus, it is okay to pour excess activated solution down a drain.
Is there a test for concentration and flush up of Selective Micro Clean?
- Chlorine dioxide is easily detectable. For quick on-site verification, Selective Micro offers test strips that quickly and accurately detect concentration and flush up.
