Hyderabad, May 15, 2015 - Grundfos Pumps India Pvt Ltd, one of the leading pump manufacturers in India, and a subsidiary of the Danish pump giant Grundfos Holdings, launched its Chlorine Dioxide Disinfection System for water treatment applications. This efficient system can be used for treating cooling tower water, industrial raw water, process water and drinking water.

Based on underwater generation technology, the system generates chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) using concentrated solutions of sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid. With their high precision, integrated Grundfos dosing pumps the system assures a high performance level and yield. This innovative product from Grundfos is a customized system for the generation of 1 kg to 200 kg ClO₂/hour.

The Grundfos chlorine dioxide system can be tailor-made according to customer needs: titanium pumps for pressurized injection, a distribution panel for multiple injections, complete or partial redundancy, external communication for remote control, etc. It is designed with very effective underwater generation technology, which not only consumes lesser chemicals, but also generates lesser by-products.

The small volume of reaction chamber of the Grundfos chlorine dioxide system means lower ClO2 quantity, and therefore lower risk. There is no risk of concentrated ClO2 gas getting released into the atmosphere as the highly concentrated ClO₂ is generated underwater. If it is not possible to install the system indoors, or if ambient conditions are not suitable for an outdoor installation, the dosing section and the control system can be preinstalled in an air-conditioned container.

Commenting on the occasion, Shankar Rajaram, Head - Industry (North & South), Grundfos India, says, "We have launched this product with an objective to have the least impact on the environment and at the same time ensure maximum safety. We are confident that this product will be valued by the user industry and benefit the customers alike."

Grundfos Pumps India Pvt Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grundfos Holdings, and responsible for sales of Grundfos products in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Maldives.
