Governing Standards for Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) Service

ASME B16.34NSF/ANSI 61 (water treatment)NFPA 430 (oxidisers storage)WHO guidelines

What to Avoid in Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) Service

  • All carbon steel valves
  • SS 316 valves for concentrated ClO₂
  • NBR or EPDM-seated valves

Service Considerations

  • ClO₂ is explosive above 10% v/v in air - on-site generation only, no bulk storage
  • PVDF or titanium construction mandatory for all ClO₂ contact surfaces
  • Emergency dilution water system required adjacent to ClO₂ generators
  • NSF/ANSI 61 certification mandatory for drinking water ClO₂ dosing systems
