go2 International provides the state-of-the-art in chlorine dioxide generation. It’s safe to use, easy on the environment (it’s a “green” chemistry) and offers maximum disinfection power yet with minimal costs. Whether it’s disinfecting make-up water, chiller water, irrigation water or process water, whether it’s food or non-food surface sanitization…the list goes on and on. GO2 delivers world-class environmentally-friendly control of pathogens. Chlorine dioxide has been used in drinking water since 1944. Its major advantage was considered to be in taste-and-odor control, although its disinfection capabilities were also recognized. Later on, it became more and more common as a disinfectant and is now used in many industries, including potable water, waste water, effluent water, the oil & gas industry, paper & pulp industry, cooling towers, pipeline and tank cleaning, poultry and livestock raising, post-harvest fruit and produce washing, horticulture, carcass washing, brewing and beverage production. During the 1960s and 1970s, many facilities abandoned the use of ClO2 because of equipment or installation design problems or high chemical costs. GO2 is 10 x more powerful than chlorine (and chlorine type disinfectants), works at a broad pH-range from 4-10 and does not generate any by-products or side effects when formed.
