What is SNiPER™, Ideal Biocide?

SNiPER™ is made up of a 2,000 ppm concentration of stabilized chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing biocide and not a metabolic toxin. This means that chlorine dioxide kills micro-organisms by disruption of the transport nutrients across the cell wall, not by disruption of a metabolic process.

How does it work?

Of the oxidizing biocides, chlorine dioxide is the most selective oxidant. Both ozone and chlorine are much more reactive than chlorine dioxide, and they will be consumed by most organic compounds. Chlorine dioxide however, reacts only with reduced sulphur compounds, secondary and tertiary amines, and some other highly reduced and reactive organics. This allows much lower dosages of chlorine dioxide to achieve a more stable residual than either chlorine or ozone. Chlorine dioxide, generated properly (all chlorine dioxide is not created equal), can be effectively used in much higher organic loading than either ozone or chlorine because of its selectivity.

How effective is it?

The efficacy of chlorine dioxide is at least as high as chlorine's, though at lower concentrations. But there are more and important advantages:

• The bactericidal efficiency is relatively unaffected by pH values between 4 and 10;
• Chlorine dioxide is clearly superior to chlorine in the destruction of spores, bacteria, fungus, viruses and other pathogen organisms on an equal residual base;
• The required contact time for Chlorine dioxide is lower;
• Chlorine dioxide has better solubility;
• No corrosion associated with high chlorine concentrations. Reduces long term maintenance costs;
• Chlorine dioxide does not react with NH3 or NH4+;
• It destroys THM precursors and increases coagulation;
• Chlorine dioxide destroys phenols and has no distinct smell;
• It is better at removing iron and magnesia compounds than chlorine, especially complex bounds.

How is it applied?

Traditionally, Chlorine dioxide can be used in two ways. The first is the on-site generation through a special process. The second is the possibility to order Chlorine dioxide in its stabilized form (SCD). SCD is activated on-site whenever its usage is desirable. SNiPER technology is unique in that it comes in a stabilized ready to use form of Chlorine dioxide with a proven shelf life of at least two years while retaining 100% efficacy.
