Enhancing Cooling Tower Performance and Efficiency with BioFilmPro™
| Challenge: | Recurring biofouling issues and microbial growth diminished an industrial facility's cooling tower efficiency. As microbes grew chemical-resistance, traditional biocides failed, requiring excessive maintenance to achieve optimal operations. |
| Solution: | Aquatech recommended BioFilmPro™, a proactive biofilm management technology that deactivates bacteria and utilizes real-time monitoring in conjunction with data-driven analytics to refine biocide dosing applications. |
| Results: | BioFilmPro reduced blowdown saving 80,000 gallons/month, improved plant efficiency through a 3-5% reduction in power consumption, decreased biocide consumption and chemical cost by over 50%, and reduced human intervention hours by 20 hours/month. |
The introduction of BioFilmPro™ has proven to be a pivotal solution for the industrial facility, addressing not only the immediate challenges of biofouling and microbial growth but also contributing to water and energy conservation efforts, reducing chemical usage, and enhancing labor efficiency.
This holistic approach to cooling tower management underscores the potential of innovative technologies like BioFilmPro™ to revolutionize industrial operations. Learn more about BioFilmPro.
BioFilmPro Proactive Biofilm Control Technology
Commercial and industrial utility plants require mission-critical processes to run efficiently and reliably. If not addressed, biological fouling can lead to significant challenges that require extensive use of resources, making it an important part of a comprehensive water treatment program.
Aquatech takes biofilm control to the next level with BioFilmPro, a proactive biofilm measurement and control technology that treats biofouling before problems occur. BioFilmPro combines bacteria deactivation, real-time sensing, and data-driven analytics to predict, prevent, and control biofilm. This reduces chemical use and promotes sustainable plant operations.
How Does BioFilmPro Work?
BioFilmPro uses bacteria deactivation, real-time sensing, and data-driven analytics to help plant operators make informed decisions that prevent biofilm-related challenges in their operations.
- Bacteria Deactivation - BioFilmPro treatment uses a continuous mild electric current to damage and deactivate bacteria cells, rendering them unable to reproduce and form biofilm.
- Real-Time Sensing - BioFilmPro’s sensor continuously measures the potential for biofilm formation in real-time. It’s easy to install on existing systems, and the collected data is fed directly to the predictive analytics software.
- Data-Driven Analytics - Our predictive analytics software aggregates and analyzes data, employing machine learning and artificial intelligence to optimize the system in real-time. Our software tracks biolm trends against past events, anticipating future occurrences and issuing automatic corrective actions to avoid system disruptions.
