NT Technology

Biofouling is a major problem for the efficient operation of an open cooling water system. Slime produced by bacteria can very quickly form strong stable biofilm on heat exchanger, pipework and tower fill surfaces with really undesired consequences;

• Extremely fast development, can be within days.
• Low Heat Transfer Coefficient, 3 – 5 times lower than Calcium Carbonate scale.
• High volume – blocks pipes, tower fill, heat exchangers and instrumentation.
• Promotes under deposit (MIC) corrosion.
• Creates environment for Legionella growth.

To remove biofouling and biofilms, traditionally combinations of biocides and bio-dispersants are used

An innovative alternative  is Kurita´s NT Technology; a highly stabilized oxidant biocide based in high lock oxidizing power that results in a molecule which has almost no oxidizing characteristics.
