- 2. Review: Large Scale Generators OLD Technology to Generate Chlorine Dioxide Requires a large fixed generating system using sodium chlorite and an acid activator in a mixing chamber Cumbersome and potentially dangerous, also require large capital outlay for purchase and setup Generally used for large water treatment systems Requires trained personnel and are not mobile Generate low percentages of actual chlorine dioxide
- 3. Review: Acidified Sodium Chlorite OLD Technology to Generate Chlorine Dioxide Utilizes sodium chlorite and usually, an acid activator Leaves behind high levels of chlorite ion Produces relatively low percentages of chlorine dioxide User must mix two chemicals to achieve activation Also known as stabilized chlorine dioxide
- 4. The SMT Patented Process A New Generation Method SMT has developed a patented micro-reactor or sachet delivery system, which creates pure aqueous chlorine dioxide, and is usable in a spray bottle. No Special training/handling is required. SMT products are patented, portable and environmentally-aware. Product generation requires very little time for the chemical reaction to create enough pure chlorine dioxide to disinfect a hospital room, classroom, lab equipment, etc. SMT offers various packaging constructs The sodium chlorite and activator are maintained in the micro-reactor until water is added. The addition of water triggers the chemical reaction, producing pure aqueous chlorine dioxide. It is simple to use, yet a highly effective biocide.
- 5. The SMT Patented Process After adding water, water molecules permeate the membrane starting the chemical reaction. As ClO₂ gas is generated, it traverses the membrane and enters in the surrounding water. The membrane traps the reaction’s leftovers, keeping it out of the solution thereby leaving only pure ClO₂ into solution.
- 6. Ultra-Pure Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) from SMT PURITY A revolutionary way for anyone to acquire ultra-pure chlorine dioxide. SMT’s patented micro reactor delivers greater than 99% pure chlorine dioxide into solution. POINT-OF-USE There is no need for capital equipment (just add water - anywhere, anytime). There exists no delivery of unwanted impurities or disinfection byproducts. PERFORMANCE Pure ClO2 offers superior efficacy and material compatibility. Pure ClO2 is highly compatible and a very effective disinfectant (even at low use concentrations).

- 11. Pure Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is NOT Chlorine, cont. Poor stability in water In a best case scenario, chlorine offers 1/20th decontamination capability in comparison to SMT’s ultra-pure chlorine dioxide In most cases, chlorine offers only 1/200th decontamination capability when compared to SMT’s ultra-pure chlorine dioxide

Chlorine Dioxide vs. Sodium Hypochlorite ClO2 has a disinfection advantage which is 2.3 times greater than that of “chlorine bleach” ClO2 is 10 times more soluble in water than chlorine bleach ClO2 is a true gas in solution and is very stable ClO2 does chlorinate ClO2 is safer, easier for employees
- 13. SMT’s Pure Chlorine Dioxide Products Offer Many Advantages Generate specific concentration of pure chlorine dioxide in a specific time frame Maintain superior material compatibility and broad range use profile Provide ultra-pure Chlorine Dioxide at point-of-use Convenient and simple to use; fast release aqueous and gas phase applications Generate at neutral pH, eliminate bio-slime No certifications to use, handle or store; no hazardous waster disposal

- 15. Pure ClO2 Offers Bio-Slime Eradication: What is Bio-Slime? Bacteria bind together in a sticky web of tangled polysaccharide fibers which anchor them to surfaces and to each other. This slimy secretion creates an impenetrable layer, known as bio- slime that allows the bacteria to live and proliferate. The older the buildup, the more resistant it becomes to eradication.
- 16. Advantages of ClO2 Against Bio-Slime: Chlorine and bromine cannot penetrate bioslime – pure chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is able to do so very effectively Biocides must oxidize effectively and at high capacity in order to penetrate and kill the organisms within the bio-slime; Pure ClO2 is a powerful oxidizer With a powerful oxidizer, oxidation bacteria have little chance of resistance to its method of attack
