CD-MAX™ represents a next-generation advancement in chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) generation technology. This NSF 60–certified and EPA-registered aqueous solution combines sodium chlorate and hydrogen peroxide into a stable, high-performance precursor designed for on-site chlorine dioxide production.

When activated with sulfuric acid inside the CD-MAX auto self-tuning generator, the system produces a high-purity chlorine dioxide solution under controlled vacuum conditions. The process ensures precise stoichiometric blending of reactants within a temperature-regulated chamber, resulting in consistent output, enhanced safety, and optimized performance. The generated ClO₂ is then safely diluted, monitored in real time, and accurately injected into the water stream. Flow-paced dosing ensures that treatment levels adjust dynamically to system demand, improving efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Features & Benefits

CD-MAX™ delivers a powerful combination of performance, safety, and operational efficiency:

• Broad-spectrum oxidant and disinfectant effective against bacteria, viruses, and biofilm
• EPA-registered for a wide range of municipal and industrial water treatment applications
• No microbial resistance, ensuring long-term treatment effectiveness
