Heat exchangers allow excess heat to be removed from a system by using large amounts of cool water. However, the water used is commonly taken from a natural source and thus contains a wide variety of minerals and living microorganisms—all of which can cause blockage...
Biofouling is the buildup of organic materials, typically small plants, microorganisms, or algae on submerged mechanical equipment. Biofilm, more specifically, is a thin slimy layer of bacteria that adheres to any surface but can appear in the same situations prone to...
Biofouling refers to the unwanted build-up of biological materials, such as bacteria, algae, or other microorganisms on surfaces submerged in water. It occurs commonly in industrial settings, where water is pumped through a system, typically as a cooling mechanism....
If you’ve ever swam in a natural body of water, you may be familiar with the slimy greenish-brown scum that accumulates on most submerged objects. Water is full of bacteria, viruses, algae, and other microorganisms. Just like pond scum, the inside of industrial...
Industrial systems utilize the cooling mechanism of water evaporation to remove heat from high-powered mechanical processes. Often, the water used is from a natural source, and not filtered before it is circulated through the cooling tower. Due to this, the water...
Water is used often as a cheap, plentiful, and effective coolant in industrial settings. However, pumping large quantities through commercial equipment can often lead to the build-up of bacteria, fungi, and other organisms, particularly if the water comes from a...
Bacteria and other small organisms can cause serious issues for the water used in industrial settings. Whether the accumulation of biomass clogs the pipes of a system or makes water hazardous to humans, it is important to control the organisms living in the water you...
Cooling towers are used industrially to release heat generated during a mechanical process. Often the water used in cooling comes from a natural source and is not highly filtered. This means it can contain natural sediments, minerals, and biological content. All...
Fouling refers to the buildup of solid matter in a water system, like scum on the surface of a pond, or rust on the hull of a boat. This buildup can take on many forms, both living and non-living, and in industrial settings, it can be a real headache to alleviate. ...
Epoxy resins are extremely versatile epoxide polymers used in several industries. But while these resins are frequently applied for various reasons, they also need to be removed for various reasons. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at epoxy resins and what...
