GeoBlue
What is GeoBlue Water Medicine?
GeoBlue Water Medicine is a Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) based water disinfectant and has a higher oxidation capacity than most other species of Chlorine, making it five times more powerful than Chlorine. GeoBlue Water Medicine is highly effective against complex organisms, which chlorine is not, and it disinfects all forms of bacteria, virus, fungus and even streptococci.
Chlorine Dioxide is accepted world wide as an alternative disinfectant for potable water. Chlorine Dioxide is a small, volatile (gaseous) and very strong molecule consisting of one Chlorine atom and two Oxygen atoms (Abbreviated to ClO2). It exists as a free radical in dilute solutions. The behaviour of Chlorine Dioxide as an oxidizing agent is significantly different than that of Chlorine.
Environmental friendly
GeoBlue Water Medicine is an eco-friendly product since it uses green chemicals recommended by World Health Organization (WHO).
Greater Biocidal Efficiency
It is highly effective against all types of bacteria (especially choliform and fecal e.coli), viruses, fungi and algae. Even complex pathogens like streptococci will be eliminated from water by the use of GeoBlue water medicine, ensuring safe water.
Higher Yield & Easy to Handle with
Using a 20g sachet, 500ml stock solution @10000ppm can be prepared and it can be used to disinfect 20k to 30k litres of water which is considerably a higher conversion in terms of the quantity used. Also, in simple 4 steps it can be used without any complexities. GeoBlue Water Medicine is available from 20g sachet packing to 10Kg bucket packing for convenience of handling and usage.

Easy Process with Best Features
More effective, less cost and kind to the environment
Higher yield & greater cost efficiencies
Chlorine Dioxide has a higher oxidation capacity, and a lower oxidation strength than most species of chlorine.
No carcinogenic by-products & no bad taste occurrences in water
Chlorine Dioxide acts only by oxidation and does not combine with organic compounds to form environmentally hazardous by-products such as Trihalomethane
Less corrosive
Chlorine Dioxide has a lower oxidation potential and does not hydrolyse to form an acid, and therefore is less corrosive..
Works over a wide pH
The effectiveness of chlorine is very pH dependent, and is almost ineffective above pH8. Chlorine Dioxide is effective at all pH’s below 12.
Effective against complex organisms
Chlorine Dioxide has been found to be effective against complex organisms such as cysts and protozoa including Cryptosporidium, Giardia and amoeba. Chlorine is not.
Destroys biofilm completely at source
by penetrating polysaccharide layers to destroy pseudomonas and other base bacteria within the biofilm. Chlorine does not.
More About Chlorine Dioxide
What is Chlorine Dioxide?
Chlorine Dioxide is a small, volatile and very strong molecule consisting of 1 Chlorine atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Abbreviated to ClO2, Chlorine Dioxide exists as a free radical in dilute solutions.
ClO2 Advantages Over Other Oxidising Biocides
When compared with other oxidising biocides, Chlorine Dioxide has a significantly lower oxidation strength – this means that it reacts with fewer compounds, such as organic compounds and ammonia, yet is strong enough to attack the disulphide bonds found in the membranes of bacteria and other biological material.
Chemical Reactivity of ClO2
The electrophilic nature of chlorine or hypochlorous acid can lead, through reaction of addition or substitution, to the formation of organic species while the radical reactivity of chlorine dioxide mainly results in oxycarbonyls.
ClO2 Advantages Over Chlorine
Higher yield & greater cost efficiencies - Chlorine Dioxide has a higher oxidation capacity, and a lower oxidation strength than most species of chlorine, making it at least 2.6 times more powerful per ppm according to WHO CT values.
Why is ClO2 Different to Chlorine?
Chlorine dioxide's behaviour as an oxidising agent is quite dissimilar. Like ozone, the predominant oxidation reaction mechanism for chlorine dioxide proceeds through a process known as free radical electrophilic (i.e. electron-attracting) abstraction rather than by oxidative substitution or addition (as in chlorinating agents such as chlorine or hypochlorite).
Is ClO2 Safe for the Environment?
Unlike chlorine, ClO2 will react to form mainly inorganic disinfection by products, the predominant species being chlorite. Chlorite will subsequently reduce to form harmless chloride. The speed of this reaction depends upon a number of factors, however within saltwater conditions this can be as low as 5 minutes.
