BCP® Chemistry – Products Overview
AMSA, Inc. chemistry brings many benefits to cooling water treatment programs.
All AMSA BCP® products are designed to improve water treatment programs so these programs sustain clean surfaces and maintain biological control. When AMSA BCP® chemistry is used in conjunction with a biocide, the resulting treatment program is a superior biofilm/algae/legionella control program.
Key Features of the BCP® 1000 series – a truly multipurpose chemistry
Penetrates, disperses & cleans organic deposits

Clean up fouled fill that holds scale & dirt deposits
- Cleans fouled systems and keeps them clean
- Results in clean equipment & piping surfaces
Benefits of deposit-free surfaces:
- Less susceptible to microbially induced corrosion
- More efficient heat transfer on exchanger surfaces
- More efficient evaporation in the cooling tower fill
- Less likely to harbor pathogens such as Legionella
- More accessible to corrosion and scale inhibitors
- Outward appearance of cooling tower is more attractive to facilities management

Keep heat exchangers clean with BCP 1000 products
Inhibits yellow metal corrosion
- Enhance standard azole programs
Reduces use of biocides
- Helps biocides (oxidizing and non-oxidizing) work more efficiently
Enables operation at higher cycles of concentration
- Effectively disperses solids to maintain clean surfaces under high TDS and TSS condition
Effective in the presence of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide
- Allows use in refinery cooling systems and systems using wastewater as make-up
Readily biodegradable
- Rapidly degraded by native microbial populations when released at typical discharge concentrations into open natural environments
Stable in closed systems
- Stable for many months at concentrations typically used in closed loop systems
- Rapidly degraded by native microbial populations when released at typical discharge concentrations into open natural environments
