What Exactly Is Biocide?
Biocide is a treatment chemical that is designed to stop the growth of microbial. Uncontrolled growth in microbial populations can cause a range of issues, such as health risks, biofilm formation, chemical breakdown and heat transfer losses. the restriction of flow, and even under deposit corrosion. It is essential that the right biocidal treatment process is in place and regular checks are carried out in order to make sure that the microbial populace in a range of systems including drinking water and down water services, closed circuits, process waters as well as recreational water systems and open cooling systems are in check. The control of microbial growth is usually achieved by ensuring systems are cleaned upon starting up and as often as needed to avoid contamination of the system and by dosing with a biocide either on a continuous basis or through a program of shock doses. Biocide types There are two kinds of biocides: oxidising and non-oxidising. Bromine, chlo...
