Why Biofilm Management Matters
Biofilms are more than just slimy layers forming on surfaces in contact with water; they are complex bacterial communities that thrive in man-made water systems, causing significant operational inefficiencies and health risks. They reduce heat transfer, block critical equipment, and accelerate corrosion, leading to increased energy use, higher maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime.
Biofilms also play a critical role in harboring pathogens like Legionella, amplifying health risks.
Managing biofilms is essential to maintaining system reliability, efficiency, and compliance, as their insulating and corrosive effects can multiply operational costs and damage key infrastructure.
Pioneering Biofilm Control in Water Systems
Traditional solutions have limited effectiveness against biofilm, and despite efforts, biofilm often reappears, leading to recurring operational challenges. Recognizing the need for a new approach, Chem-Aqua’s New Science and Technology R&D group (NSTG) developed innovative technologies for biofilm monitoring, removal, and control. Endorsed by the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University, our solutions are rooted in cutting-edge research designed to address biofouling challenges head-on, ensuring long-term system performance and reliability.
bioeXile®: Our Patented Biofilm Cleaner
Chem-Aqua’s patented biodispersant is designed to effectively remove stubborn biofilm deposits from industrial water systems. By disrupting the protective matrix around bacteria, bioeXile® enhances biocide performance, improving system efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. When used in combination with a biocide, bioeXile® delivers superior results in biofilm control.
Setting a New Standard in Biofilm Control
bioeXile® sets new benchmarks for biofilm removal, surpassing traditional methods. By breaking down the protective layer around biofilms, bioeXile® works in synergy with biocides to deliver unparalleled cleaning efficiency:
- 1,250 times more effective than biocides alone
- 278 times more effective than biocides combined with conventional biodispersants
