Lotus Disinfection Systems

LOTUS chlorine dioxide generators are the most effective solution for water disinfection in a variety of applications and in particular for the prevention of legionellosis in domestic hot and cold water systems.

The bacterium that causes legionellosis, Legionella, is able to adapt even to conditions that would be fatal to other organisms. Thanks to its high Redox potential, chlorine dioxide exerts a more powerful disinfectant action than other biocides against Legionella and all kinds of germs and contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and algae. The oxidation potential is higher than that of chlorine, for example, so fewer chemicals can be used. Potentially dangerous disinfection by-products are absent and it is proven to penetrate and degrade the Legionella habitat. The action of the chlorine dioxide is independent of the pH value of the water, is not aggressive towards pipes and has a longer-lasting and wider-ranging effect from the injection point.

Scientific tests have shown the effectiveness of the disinfectant action, with almost 100% killing of Legionella in just 30 minutes and elimination of the proliferation habitat. Safety is ensured by the atmospheric pressure production process, in which chlorine dioxide is never treated in its gaseous form but is produced by reacting two liquid precursors in a reaction chamber in only the amount needed at the time.
