Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) — Why Fixed Gas Detectors Are Essential
Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is used as a powerful disinfectant and oxidizer in water treatment, pulp and paper, food processing, and pharmaceutical production. The Korean TWA limit is just 0.1 ppm and IDLH is 5 ppm. Facilities with continuously operating ClO₂ generation equipment cannot rely solely on portable detectors for round-the-clock monitoring — a fixed gas detection system is essential for 24/7 surveillance.
💡 Key Point
Any space housing active ClO₂ generation equipment requires the WANDI FIX800 fixed 5-gas detector for continuous real-time monitoring — including nights and weekends when no personnel are present.
Health Effects of Chlorine Dioxide
| Concentration (ppm) | Duration | Health Effects |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1 | 8 h TWA | Legal limit — onset of mucous membrane irritation |
| 0.5–1 | Short-term | Coughing, tearing, headache, nausea |
| 1–5 | Short-term | Severe cough, chest pain, dyspnea |
| 5 (IDLH) | Immediately | Pulmonary edema, loss of consciousness, life-threatening |
| ≥10 | Immediately | Acute lung injury, potential fatality |

Prevention Scenario with WANDI FIX800
- 124/7 surveillance: FIX800 mounted near piping and equipment detects ClO₂ leaks even at night
- 2Display board integration: FIX-DS board at the entry shows real-time gas levels before workers enter
- 3Strobe and siren output: Alarm output terminals trigger external warning devices automatically
- 4Data logging: Continuous concentration records for legal compliance and inspection reports
WANDI FIX800 — Fixed 5-Gas Detector
WANDI FIX800 is a fixed multi-gas detector capable of simultaneously measuring up to 5 gases. Sensors can be combined as needed — ClO₂, O₂, CO, H₂S, LEL — for site-specific configurations. Paired with the FIX-DS display board and external alarm outputs, it forms a complete 24/7 gas safety system.
