Applications
Water present in cooling system, cooling towers etc …, form a favorable environment for the development of micro-organisms (bacteria, algae and fungus).
In fact, all the necessary factors for rapid development of micro-organisms are pre-sent (at different degrees) :
– Natural light,
– Oxygen (mixing),
– Nutrients (air-scrubbers), – Water temperature
(often between 20°C and 30°C),
– Etc …
The extremely rapid proliferation of living organic matter results in the appearance of sludge, deposit which disturbs the good working order of the installations (motor overheating, decreasing of thermal performance).
Moreover, the presence of micro-organisms is often responsible for localized corrosion under deposit (production by their metabolism of corrosive products., …).
Among bacteria, the most virulent and the most supervised is the legionella pneumophila. In fact, the inhalation of micro-droplets of water contaminated by these bacteria can cause legionellosis to mankind.
We know that biofilm provides good protection for bacteria against any form of aggression, and excessive biocide injections have not always been successful.
If we want to totally eliminate the legionella pneumophila, it is necessary to completely remove the biofilm.
It is also a simple and effective solution for fighting the growth of mollusks in your makeup water systems, source of common problem in direct refrigeration equipment that uses seawater and/or freshwater as makeup.
To help respect these objectives we recommend the usage our solution.
