What about biocides?
A widely accepted modality of cooling tower water treatment is running a dual (or alternating) biocide program. This means that the chemical program being administered calls for an oxidizing biocide and a non-oxidizing biocide. Oxidizing biocides kill microorganisms by destroying their cell walls and oxidizing protein within the organism. Typical examples of oxidizing biocides are chlorine and bromine. Non-oxidizing biocides are chemicals that kill by ways other than oxidation, including interference with cell metabolism and structure. DBNPA and isothiazoline are examples of non-oxidizing biocides. EcoSafe allows for a dual biocide program; and biocide canisters are available in various forms and sizes depending on the application.
EcoSafe biocides are delivered in much the same way as the corrosion inhibitors; however they are not pressed into tablet form. They are delivered in granular form via a specially designed canister or feeder. Since they are also shipped dry, they are highly concentrated and are a very effective method to reduce biological organisms in cooling water. In fact, if you have been trying to figure out how to kill legionella in a cooling tower or wondering what a long term strategy is for keeping bio-organisms like legionella at bay in your cooling tower might be, look no further than EcoSafe.
One last point ? While EcoSafe is a potential no brainer for many (if not most) cooling tower water treatment solutions, it is definitely not solution for everyone. Most of the limitations regarding EcoSafe have to do with the overall size of the operation; however, we have seen success with smart release water treatment on many very large cooling tower systems.
