Find out how USAF can help fight this effectively.
Why industrial water systems become contaminated
Cooling and process water systems are vulnerable to:
This contamination arises from stagnant or slow-flowing water within the system, or from water intake from rivers or the sea.
The consequences for your installation
Why traditional methods fall short
Many installations still rely on chlorine injection or other chemical treatments to control biological growth. However, these are not always fully effective because:
Pitting corrosion
✔ Less biofilm → reduced local corrosion
Fouling in cooling water
✔ Larvae cannot develop → no fouling
Legionella
✔ Biofilm is broken down → bacteria lose their habitat
USAF can be applied alongside traditional water treatment methods such as chlorine, biocides, or filtration. It does not replace these systems but enhances their effectiveness and drastically reduces the amount of chemicals needed, because:
In short, USAF acts as a catalyst, drastically reducing chemical use. This saves costs and helps comply with environmental and safety regulations.
