Abstract:
A method generating chlorine dioxide is provided. The method uses sodium chlorite solution and diluted sulfuric acid to generate chlorine dioxide with a significantly higher rate of conversion of chlorite to chorine dioxide than has been previously reported with sulfuric acid/chlorite chlorine dioxide generation.

Abstract:
A method utilizing chlorine dioxide and nitrous acid or other non-charged chemical species for the treatment of biosolids to destroy pathogens is provided. The method uses chlorine dioxide to modulate the ORP of the matrix, acidification of the sludge (biosolids) to a pH of less than 4.0, and provides for the addition of nitrous acid for enhanced disinfection in a closed system to prevent volitalization.

Abstract:
A method utilizing bacterial strains to degrade fats, oils, and greases in grease interceptors is provided. The method uses bacteria commonly known in the art, and is combined with a mechanism to restock or reseed the trap at intervals, and to inactivate or remove bacteria that have mutated and are no longer effective at metabolizing fats, oils, and greases.

Abstract:
A method utilizing chlorine dioxide and, optionally, and acid or other non-charged chemical species for the treatment of biosolids to destroy pathogens is provided. The method uses chlorine dioxide to modulate the ORP of the matrix. In one embodiment, the invention employs acidification of the sludge (biosolids) to a pH of less than 4.0, and provides for the addition of nitrous acid for enhanced disinfection in a closed system to prevent volitalization.
Disclosed herein is an improved method for generating chlorine dioxide that involves reacting a diluted, chilled aqueous solution of sulfuric acid with an aqueous solution of sodium chlorite.
System And Methods For Generating Chlorine Dioxide
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a chlorine dioxide generating system. The system typically includes a reactor having a reactor volume into which sulfuric acid and sodium chlorite are delivered according to Formula I: (C)(F)=C, wherein F=flow rate of delivery of sodium chlorite to the at least one reactor, volume/time, C=amount of CIOproduced per amount of sodium chlorite delivered to reactor; and C=CIOoutput amount/time; and wherein said reactor volume and Fare such so as to provide a contact time between acidifying agent and sodium chlorite in the range of about 0.5 to about 30 minutes.
A method enhancing biological digestion of wastewater sludge is provided. The method uses chlorine dioxide to accelerate and improve the efficiency of aerobic or anaerobic digestion.
