Biofilms causes serious problems

Most Typical Issues Raised by Biofilm

• Corrosion damages – Because biofilms are frequently heterogeneous and vary in thickness at the microscale, they can lead to isolated areas of oxygen depletion that can cause localised corrosion by establishing differential aeration cells.
• Harmful microbes – Biofilm generates harmful microbes which has several dangerous effects.
• Rising prices for energy – It also increase the energy cost with the contaminant.

Colonies of surface-attached microorganisms developing within bacterial secretions are known as biofilms. Biofilms are extremely difficult to eradicate and manage once they’ve taken hold.

What if you get early warning of problems?

BFI readings are automatically tracked by the biofilm technology, which aids in microbial control assessment and issues early warning.

A sensitive indicator on the ingenious and creative bioDART Biofilm Monitor shows the effects of:

• Number of bacteria
• Additions of biocide
• System tidiness
• Conditions of operation
• Nutrient load and the development of biofilms

What Is Measured by BioDART?

BFI provides a system-specific indicator of the potential to form biofilm that reflects:

• Microbiological activity.
• Biocide programme.
• Nutrient load.
• System cleanliness.
• Design and operating conditions.
• Temperature.
• Early warning monitors for biofilm growth.
• Low readings support overall microbial control.
• High readings and/or sudden changes warrant a closer look.
