CLORIOUS2 - optimum water disinfection
CLORIOUS2 is Chlorine Dioxide – made safe, simple, pure and easy to apply

Chlorine Dioxide ClO2 is widely accepted as the most effective and efficient water disinfection for use in food production and processing. Water is a controllable ingredient and processing aid that can slow the microbial degradation on shelf life and product quality.
Chlorine Dioxide is generally viewed as the premier solution in improving water hygiene as it provides the following benefits/advantages:
- Effective control of biofilm in process water systems – that harbours bacteria, toxins and pathogens
- Improves overall process water hygiene
- Leaves no taint, odour or residue on end products
- Operates effectively across a wide range of the pH spectrum – acid to alkali
- Effective as a sporicide, biocide, viruscide and fungicide
- Low corrosion properties
- Does not produce chlorinated products (chlorine) that can leave taint and residual odours on product
What is unique about CLORIOUS2?
Chlorine Dioxide normally requires either on-site generation, risky and unsafe hazardous manual mixing on-site and/or expensive, complicated dosing systems; all of which are drawbacks to using Chlorine Dioxide.
CLORIOUS2 is Chlorine Dioxide – made safe, simple, pure and easy to apply – delivered ready-to-use, with no decanting or additional handling.
CLORIOUS2 is dosed directly from the drum, which has incorporated an exposure free dry-coupling and via a dosing pump into the water system (N.B: Information on dosing systems are available on request). Approved for drinking water and for use in the production of organic products.
Several applications in the food (and beverage) industry have taken advantages of CLORIOUS2's unique benefits and they include:
- Vegetable production: vegetable washing
- Processed meat and poultry production: process water, recycled water
- Smokehouses: process wash water
- Breweries and Distilleries: incoming water - borehole water
- Food production: process water - ingredient
Brenntag Animal Nutrition provides the best ingredients for all your pig and poultry needs, including acidifiers, preservatives, trace elements, anti-oxidants, MPG and solutions for optimum drinking water.
Water treatment is a particular area of expertise within Brenntag. Clorious2 – Chlorine Dioxide is widely accepted as the most effective and efficient drinking water disinfection for pig and poultry practice.
Water is a controllable contributor to animal health, disease and animal well- being. The vast majority of diseases that are detrimental to animal health and performance are either waterborne or require water for transportation or growth. Improving water hygiene sagely and cost effectively helps produce a healthier, more resilient, higher performing animal.
