Microbiological Problems
in Cooling Water
Algae, fungi, and bacteria cause microbial problems associated with industrial
cooling water systems. They cause plugging, fouling, corrosion, and destruction
of wooden cooling tower components. Many different bacteria species may exist in
cooling water systems. Some of the problems caused include severe bacterial
slimes and fouling, sulfuric acid, under deposit corrosion and health hazards.
They are adhering to heat transfer surfaces and reduce heat transfer and water
flow.
Warm water in the cooling system is a natural habitat and breeding grounds for
microorganisms. Chemical treatment is required to eliminate this biological
growth. Cooling towers must be thoroughly cleaned on a periodic basis to
minimize bacterial growth. Unclean cooling towers promote growth of potentially
infectious bacteria

Microbial Influenced Corrosion ( MIC)
Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a corrosion in which microorganisms
contribute to the corrosion process. The most serious cases are when their
action generates conditions that start corrosion, which would otherwise not have
happened.
Slime-former bacteria, which form slimy coverings over surfaces, reducing oxygen
transport and trapping particles of debris
Sulphate–reducing bacteria, produce hydrogen sulphide from dissolved sulphate in
anaerobic conditions
Sulphur oxidizing bacteria, produce sulphur or sulphuric acid
Iron oxidizing bacteria, oxidize soluble ferrous iron to insoluble ferric |

BIOFILM
A biofilm is a layer of microorganisms contained in a matrix (slime layer),
which forms on surfaces in contact with water. Incorporation of pathogens in biofilms can protect the pathogens from concentrations of biocides that would
otherwise kill or inhibit those organisms freely suspended in water. |
Our Products
ARC-1023 –I - They are very effective against aerobic bacteria, fungi and
algae. These are non-oxidizing microbiocide in liquid form, highly effective
against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. It effectively combats the menace of
algae, fungi and bacteria.
ARC-1023 –II - Is a broad-spectrum anti-microbial product designed for
use in industrial re-circulating cooling water system. These are non-oxidizing
microbiocide in powder as well as liquid form, highly effective against a broad
spectrum of microorganisms
ARC-1023 III -. is an non-oxidizing liquid non-metallic, non- phenolic
formulated for use in industrial cooling system and air washers system. It
prevents growth of Micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria, sulphate reducing
bacteria and algae in industrial cooling system.
ARC-1023 IV - Is a non-metallic, non phenolic, broad spectrum biocide
effective against bacteria, fungi and algae keeps the cooling re-circulating
water clean.
