Chlorine Dioxide Water Flow Detection

		The global drinking and wastewater treatment chemicals market is forecast to reach $23.9 billion by 2015. One wastewater treatment chemical that has become a darling of the industry since its introduction in the 1940's is chlorine dioxide. Although primarily used for bleaching of wood pulp, chlorine dioxide is heavily used in the disinfection of municipal drinking water. Approximately 700 to 900 public water systems use chlorine dioxide to treat potable water. It is more effective as a disinfectant than chlorine in most circumstances against water borne pathogenic microbes such as viruses and bacteria. At a water treatment plant, a Thermo-Flo™ FT10 flow switch is applied inline to detect the infusion of chlorine dioxide for a water purification application. Should the flow switch sensor detect a velocity change due to the increase or decrease of liquid flow as sensed by a thermal change (ΔT). Then the switch would open (NO) or close (NC) predicated upon the application installation requirements. Thus, informing the water plant operator that chlorine dioxide is no longer being pumped into the water purification application. It's water safety made simple as "We Do Your Level Best".
