Municipal Water Treatment
Sodium chlorite and chlorine dioxide play important roles in water treatment by helping to disinfect and purify water. Sodium chlorite is often used as a precursor to chlorine dioxide due to its stability and ease of handling. In water treatment, sodium chlorite can be used to generate chlorine dioxide, which is a powerful disinfectant.
| – Potable water disinfection | – Taste & odour control |
| – Waste water disinfection | – THM control |
| – Iron & manganese removal |
Industrial Water Treatment
Sodium chlorite as a precursor for generating chlorine dioxide that has several applications in power industrial settings, particularly in water treatment processes, including recirculating cooling towers, cooling water treatment, odor control, and wastewater treatment.
| – Reverse osmosis membrane fouling control | – Process water microbiological control |
| – Waste water disinfection | – Cooling water treatment |
| – Odour control | – Iron & manganese removal |
| – Phenol oxidation | – Cyanide destruction |
| – THM control |
Agriculture & Livestock
| – Disinfection of irrigation water | – Cleaning drinking water distribution systems |
| – Algae control | – Mildew & fungus control |
| – Nematode eradication | – Root growth propagation |
| – Drinking water disinfection |
Solid sodium chlorite products are sometimes used in agriculture for soil treatment, seed disinfection, and as a preservative for agricultural products.
Oil & Gas
| – Microbiological control of oil wells & bores | – Removal of H2S & phenolic compounds |
| – Pipeline & tank cleaning | – THM control |
| – Iron & manganese removal | – Wastewater disinfection |
| – Sulphide destruction |
Sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is sometimes used in the oil and gas industry for various purposes, including as a biocide and a source of chlorine dioxide.Chlorine dioxide generated from sodium chlorite can help in mitigating corrosion issues in oil and gas wells by controlling microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by bacteria.
