Cooling Water Biocide — Cooling tower protection

Description

1. Product Overview
The Cooling Water Biocide is a advanced, broad-spectrum microbiological control agent engineered specifically for recirculating cooling water systems. Its primary industrial application is the elimination of biofilm, Legionella, algae, and sulfate-reducing bacteria in cooling towers, heat exchangers, and process water loops. The key value proposition is a measurable reduction in system corrosion, fouling, and energy loss — delivering up to 15% improvement in thermal efficiency while extending asset life. Strategically, this product is critical for industries facing tightening water discharge regulations and the rising cost of unplanned downtime.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Stabilized blend of Isothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT 1.5–2.5%) and Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate (THPS 15–20%) — non-oxidizing, synergistic formulation

• Purity level: Active matter ≥ 98% technical grade; heavy metals < 5 ppm

• Physical characteristics: Clear, pale-yellow liquid; pH (neat) 3.5–5.0; density 1.12–1.18 g/cm³ at 20°C; viscosity < 50 cP

• Packaging options: 25 L HDPE jerrycans, 200 L plastic drums, 1,000 L IBC totes, and bulk tanker delivery

• Shelf life: 24 months in original unopened container, stored between 5–35°C (no freezing)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Power generation (cooling towers), petrochemicals & refineries, HVAC for data centers, steel mills, pulp & paper, and food processing plants

• Operational use cases: Continuous low-dose treatment (50–150 ppm) for biofilm prevention; shock dosing (300–500 ppm) for system remediation after downtime; Legionella risk management per ACoP L8 standards

• Performance advantage over alternatives: Unlike chlorine or bromine, this biocide remains active under high pH (7.5–9.0) and high organic load; no VOC off-gassing; non-corrosive to stainless steel, copper, and seals at use concentrations; 4-log reduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa within 2 hours (ASTM E645/ISO 10718 validated)

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2025 certified production; each batch tested for microbial efficacy, heavy metals, and residual free monomer — COA provided within 24 hours

• Supply reliability: Dual-sourced raw materials + 180-day rolling inventory buffer; three manufacturing sites (Americas, EMEA, APAC) to mitigate geopolitical disruption

• Logistics capability: Dangerous goods classified (UN 3082, Packing Group III) — global DG-certified logistics partners with door-to-door tracking

• Price competitiveness: Tiered pricing for contract volumes ≥ 50 MT annually; 12–18% below regional specialty chemical distributors on a normalized active-ingredient basis

• Environmental & safety: Biodegradable > 60% within 28 days (OECD 301B); no bioaccumulation potential; REACH and TSCA compliant; SDS available in 14 languages

• Technical support: Free Legionella risk assessment model + quarterly performance audits by in-house water treatment engineers

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): 4 MT (equivalent to 4 x 1,000 L IBCs or 20 x 200 L drums)

• BULK 20 MT loading capacity: One flexitank (20 MT net) in a standard 20-foot dry container — no bag limitation, direct pump-to-tank transfer at destination

• MT per container (standard): 20 MT per 20’ DV; 26 MT per 40’ HC (palletized drums or totes)
