BIOBROM-Q

Description - Applications

A liquid, single-feed bromine biocide, used in combination to the chlorination, as to give to chlorine the power of chlorobromination.

By this procedure, common chlorine becomes an extremely strong disinfectant, fungicide, algicide and/or slimicide for wastewater, commercial and industrial recirculating cooling water systems and industrial once-through cooling water systems , without any harmful environmental side effect.

It is also used to control biofilm deposits in pumps, pipes, heat exchangers and filters associated with industrial water treatment systems.

 Features

This powerful broad spectrum biocide effectively and quickly controls bacteria, algae and fungi through NaOBr action.

NaOBr is a powerful broad spectrum biocide recommended for desinfection of recirculating and once-through cooling systems, food processing equipment (pasteurisers, sterilisers or retorts), air washers and other industrial water systems.

BDS BIOBROM Q is recommended for alkaline (7,5<pH<9,5) and contaminated waters (NH3 and nitrogen), where chlorine is not giving efficient microbial control.

NaOBr remains active in alkaline waters (pH = 7,5-9,5) resulting in more efficient desinfections than when using chlorine based biocides.

BDS BIOBROM Q suffer less from flash-off losses (compared to chlorine based biocides).

BDS BIOBROM Q offer all advantages of bromine chemistry combined with the ease of dosing: there is no need for labour intensive and complex feed equipment, simple dosing pumps are sufficient.

Feeding

The product dosage rate will depend on system design, water characteristics and operational parameters. In most of the application a residual in 0.2 – 0.5 ppm of residual free available halogen is sufficient to keep the control of the system.

For additional information, please contact your local Water Services Ltd representative.

Handling precautions

Wear suitable protective gloves and safety goggles. In case of contact immediately flush with plenty of water. After eye contact seek medical advice.

In case of spillage, absorb with sand or other absorbent material and sweep up. Then flush the area with water.

Before use review the Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information.

Solubility

Freely soluble in water.

End-Use Compatibility

BDS BIOBROM Q is compatible with HDPE, PP, PTFE, PVC, VITON, iron, aluminum, carbon steel and copper when used per label directions.

Safety and Handling Information

For specific safety, handling and toxicity information, please refer to the current Material Safety Data Sheet.
