Why Biofilm Management Matters
Biofilms in water systems can lead to significant operational inefficiencies, increasing energy consumption, maintenance costs, and even causing unplanned downtime. They promote microbial corrosion, compromise heat transfer, and harbor dangerous pathogens like Legionella, which can pose health risks. Effective biofilm management not only protects your system’s performance and reliability but also safeguards your bottom line, ensuring smoother operations, lower costs, and regulatory compliance.
Innovating the Future of Biofilm Control
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.
bioDART®: Advanced Biofilm Monitoring Technology
Recognized with the R&D 100 Award, Chem-Aqua’s bioDART® Biofilm Monitor is a leading-edge technology designed to track biofilm formation in real-time. Its customizable alerts and predictive insights help optimize water treatment and reduce operational costs.
How bioDART® Works
The bioDART® uses optical sensors to monitor biofilm deposits, translating the data into Biofouling Index (BFI) readings for predictive control. This technology not only tracks biofilm formation in real-time but also offers proactive insights to help you stay ahead of potential issues. Here are the three key aspects that set bioDART® apart:
Online Monitoring
Continuously provides feedback on system cleanliness and microbial activity.
Predictive Insights
Delivers advanced BFI readings, enabling proactive biofilm control before problems arise.
Flexible Integration
Easily adapts to your system, whether as a stand-alone monitor or connected to web-enabled controllers.
