New Biodispersant and Biocide Enhancer Removes Biofilm More Effectively from Industrial Cooling Systems

25-Jan-2002
TREVOSE, PA, JANUARY 23, 2002--BetzDearborn's SpectrusTM BD1550 is a new biodispersant and biocide enhancer for use in removing microbiological films from industrial cooling system surfaces. A blend of active ingredients, it has a more effective performance profile than other currently available dispersants in removing biofilms to maintain heat transfer efficiency and minimize conditions favorable to the growth of Legionella bacteria. Spectrus BD1550 has no biocidal activity of its own, but acts synergistically with both oxidizing and nonoxidizing biocides to enhance their antimicrobial effect. It is especially useful when acceptable microbiological control cannot be achieved with biocides alone. Supplied as a liquid, the product is compatible with common cooling system scale and corrosion inhibitors, as well with most metals and plastics.
