Keeping it Clean

AMSA BCP® Chemistry keeps cooling water systems clean

AMSA AMSA BCP® chemistry along with a biocide will help you control biofouling. BCP® products, based on well-known DTEA II® and DTEA II® Plus, are effective dispersants, penetrating aids and cleaners for controlling organic deposits. chemistry along with a biocide will help you control biofouling. BCP® products, based on well-known DTEA II® and DTEA II® Plus, are effective dispersants, penetrating aids and cleaners for controlling organic deposits.

Using AMSA BCP® products in regularly dosed maintenance programs:

• Keeps system surfaces clean
• Inhibits/Prevents biofilm deposits from adhering to surfaces
• Allows maximum heat exchange and cooling efficiency
• Lowers the risk for pathogens, such as Legionella, to grow in biofilm deposits
• Minimizes microbially influenced corrosion
• Allows biocides and inhibitor chemicals to work more effectively

• Slug dose
• Continuous dose

Watch this video to learn more about the benfits of keeping systems clean with AMSA BCP® products.

Cooling systems with inadequate biofouling control generally have problems with poor heat transfer efficiency, under-deposit corrosion, and Legionella bacteria control. Generally water treatment programs rely on oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides to control biofouling.

Biocides alone do not get the job done.

Effective cooling water systems require a Biofilm Control Program.

Treatment Methods and Dosages for BCP® 1015 series chemistry (DTEA II®)

Clean-up and Maintenance

Clean it Up!

Slug Dose: 50 – 100 ppm BCP® 1015

• Dose each day or until system performance measurements and visual inspection show satisfactory removal of organic deposits and system clean-up.

Super Slug Dose – Clean-up of heavily fouled systems: 100 ppm BCP® 1015

• Dose at high concentration dose (100 ppm) of BCP® 1015 at 1 – 4 hour intervals (depending on system size) to penetrate and disperse organic deposits from the surfaces
• At appropriate intervals, initiate an enhanced/manual blow down to remove released organic deposits & non-organic deposits from the system
• Repeat dose and enhanced/manual blow down cycle as needed

Keep it Clean!

Maintenance – Slug Dose: 25 – 65 ppm BCP® 1015

• Dose 1 to 3 times per week
• Optimize the amount (ppm) and frequency of dosing by monitoring your system water quality measurements and setting the dosage to keep the system clean.

Regular use of BCP® 1015 along with a traditional scale/corrosion/biocide treatment program will keep your system clean, and help you achieve an effective Biofilm Control Program.
