In the field of water treatment for agricultural applications, the choice between Chlorine Dioxide and Hydrogen Peroxide can significantly impact the effectiveness, safety, and ease of use in maintaining water systems. Let’s look into the critical aspects of these two solutions to help you make an informed decision for your agricultural needs. Biofilm Removal: Chlorine…
In the world of agriculture and horticulture, the impact of water quality on output cannot be overstated. Poor quality water has the potential to wreak havoc, leading to increased morbidity and mortality in animals, low food conversion rates, and a surge in veterinary and antibiotic interventions. Similarly, in horticulture, the presence of viruses or moulds…
Cooling tower operators face a unique challenge: prioritising safety from bacterial infections while reducing operating costs. One of the most significant risks they face is biofilm build up on condenser plates and cooling tower packs, which can act as an insulating layer, slowing heat transfer, reducing water flow, and increasing pumping costs. Biofilm can harbour…
When we think of achieving Net Zero emissions, we often imagine large-scale projects like wind farms or solar power plants. However, the reality is that small changes made by individuals and businesses can have a significant impact on our journey to a sustainable future. These small changes are often overlooked, but they are the hidden…
Chlorine Dioxide can help minimise odour emissions and ensure environmental compliance. Industrial odour emissions can be a significant issue for companies regarding environmental responsibility and maintaining good relationships with nearby communities. To control these emissions effectively, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the upstream process and any potential variability that may occur.…
Chlorine Dioxide has emerged as a highly efficient microbiological biocide, cherished for its potent efficacy, superior biofilm penetration, low disinfection byproduct generation, and overall environmental responsibility. While widely adopted in smaller water systems, the application of Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) in high-volume seawater handling systems faced hurdles due to operational costs. Recent advancements, inspired by pulp…
Biofilm, an often overlooked concern, can cause problems in various areas of hatchery operations, affecting both the well-being of livestock and the efficiency of processes. In this article, we will look into the locations where biofilm tends to accumulate within hatcheries and explore effective strategies for its prevention. Drinking water, essential for the well-being of…
