Chlorine dioxide solutions in the beverage industry

Use of chlorine dioxide for disinfection of drinking, process and industrial water, for bottle disinfection and for disinfection of plants and plant components has been common practice in beverage production for decades. However, the oxidising disinfectant causes corrosion on metal surfaces. The corrosion behaviour of austenitic chromium-nickel steel 1.4301 (304SS, V2 A) at different concentrations of chlorine dioxide has been investigated in the Dr. Küke GmbH laboratory, Wedemark. A chlorine dioxide solution containing hydrochloric acid and a pH neutral one was used.
