It is crucial to take an all-encompassing approach when selecting IRO Biocide. The features of microbial communities are a distinct and direct reflection of the environment which they exist. The beginning of the process is a bacterium present in the feedwater used by a cooling facility. Temperature, sterilization methods and equipment components as well as the outside environment all influence the kinds of bacteria that flourish, and also the potential risk to equipment quality as well as human health and safety.

Biocides are employed to stop bacterial growth, break up biofilms, and clean makeup water to prevent accumulation of sediment and deposits. In order to choose the most efficient biocides for your system, you need to take into account all the aspects mentioned above while adhering to the regulations of industry on the use of chemical substances.

Food and beverage companies that operate as an extension of a dairy farm often use recovered condensate of whey (COW) water to create the makeup in their cooling systems, for both conservation and cost-saving practice.

Case Study on Dairy How IROBiocide's customer eliminated shut downs and increased revenue

IROBiocide worked with a dairy that used COW water in its cooling tower. The dairy was required to close their whey powder production line down for a period of one to two times a year to clear the bioaccumulation.

The slime buildup could be easily due to COW water because cow water is abundant in nutrients that stimulate bacteria growth. IROBiocide technicians examined the entire facility and determined that, while the COW water contained a part in the bioslime, the main issue was the lactose drying unit that is close to the cooling tower. The dryer blasts lactose sugars into the atmosphere, and these sugars combined with the COW water created an environment in which bacteria thrived.

IROBiocide implemented a water management program that utilizes chlorine dioxide to degrade make-up water and break through biofilm. The facility has had zero shutdowns over the course of a year. It was able to avoid downtime and this resulted in lower costs for maintenance and increased revenue.

Determine. Test. Ensure.

The IROBiocide ideal method of developing an effective biocide treatment program is to examine the surrounding environment through a visual inspection. examine for iron, sulfate and other nutrients if needed, and test the level of contamination in the bulk water. This process helps to identify the state of the system. It also helps determine which biocide to use and how much.

When the new treatment regimen has been implemented, it's necessary to give the system a few weeks to clean itself up. The new treatment program is then tested to make sure it works or to make any adjustments.

The best biocide company can save money by decreasing downtime and maintenance costs and improving the efficiency of production. Is your facility using the most effective Biocide? To get a no-cost assessment get in touch with an IROBiocide representative today.
