GoalImprove cooling system microbiological control and reduce corrosion.
<h6>Customer Challenge</h6> <p>A fuel ethanol plant located in the Midwestern United States was experiencing biofilm-related problems and mild steel corrosion issues in its 125,000-gallon cooling water system. The plant manager was interested in replacing the plant’s existing microbiological control program and reached out to Solenis for assistance.</p> <h6>Recommended Solution</h6> <p>In an effort to improve biofilm control and reduce corrosion rates, the plant manager agreed to evaluate Solenis’ Biosperse™ XD3899 microbiocide against its existing microbiological control program, which relied on hypobromous acid and isothiazoline.</p> <h6>Results Achieved</h6> <p>Shortly after the trial startup, microbial counts were reduced by more than 99.9%, biofilm was eliminated, and mild steel corrosion rates were reduced by 50%. Since permanently converting to the Biosperse XD3899 program, the plant has reduced its annual cost for microbiological control by 25% and eliminated the safety risks associated with its prior program.</p> <p><img style="max-width: 100%; width: auto; height: auto;" src="/link/c01d606de4fb4278a3aa37bd67bbb97f.aspx" alt="" width="1001" height="635" /></p>
