Case Study

Dutrion Proves #1
in ClO₂

A partner lab put our 525-gram kit and 100-gram tablet in a fumigation chamber. Here is what the gas curves actually show.

4 min read

One of our loyal partners, Ecosense, recently tested our top-selling product, Dutrion, and shared their incredible results.

Last week, we had the opportunity to test your 525-gram product before we use it in the field for odor remediation projects. I thought you might be interested in the results. We've performed similar tests on various ClO₂ products in the past to ensure they perform as intended and to maximize our odor removal success rate.

The Method

Testing Description of Dutrion 525-gram Kit

Ecosense tested our product in their fumigation chamber, which can accurately measure ClO₂ gas concentrations from 0.01 to 20 mg/L using a ClorDiSys environmental monitoring system. The results below show how the Dutrion 525-gram kit provides effective odor remediation solutions in graph form.

Results

525-gram kit results

1. Peak output in about 4 hours

Gas output builds quickly, reaching its peak in about 4 hours. This is 1 to 3 hours later than most competitive products, which is very impressive.

2. A flat, high plateau — not a spike

Measured in mg/L, the same run holds a steady concentration near the top of the chamber's measurement range for the full window, rather than spiking early and fading.

3. Dwell that could stretch to 12 hours

Gas output levels are maintained at a very high level over an 8-hour period. We estimate that the dwell period could easily be extended to 12 hours — our standard — with minimal gas degradation.

Follow-Up Test

100-gram tablet results

Following up the test of the 525-gram kits, Ecosense tested our 100-gram tablet, adding:

Enclosed is a summary of the test results for your 100 gram product that we tested last week. As noted in the summary, the results were excellent. I'm confident that we can achieve satisfactory odor removal results and exceed our customer's expectations using this product.

1. 4.4× the exposure target for bacterial endospores

A single 100-gram tablet accumulated 3,170 PPM-hours over the 8-hour run — well past the 720 PPM-hour target (the orange line) required for 99.9999% efficacy against bacterial endospores.

2. 468 PPM peak, then a long steady hold

The tablet reaches a 468 PPM peak early and then holds a slow, controlled release across the full 8-hour period — the release curve that makes a single tablet practical for smaller enclosed spaces.
