Purate® technology is sodium chlorate based, as compared to sodium chlorite, like competing processes. Why does that matter? Sodium chlorite producers make sodium chlorite form sodium chlorate. It involves an expensive process of producing chlorine dioxide and then converting to sodium chlorite so that it can be reconverted to chlorine dioxide at the users site. Eka simply produces the chlorine dioxide on site for sodium chlorate, a sizable economic advantage.

 

 

 

How Does Purate® Do It?

 

Easy - 1 Step vs. 3 Steps

 

Purate® Process

 

Step 1.

Purate® (containing sodium chlorate) produces chlorine dioxide on site.

 

Chlorite Process

 

Step 1.

Sodium chlorate is reacted with chemicals at the producers site to make chlorine dioxide.

Step 2.

The chlorine dioxide is reacted with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide at the producers site to make sodium chlorite.

Step 3.

The sodium chlorite is converted back to chlorine dioxide on site by reacting with more chemicals.
