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…
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.
