BCP® 6010 With Oxidizing Biocides
Jul 15, 2022 in Blog
Improve Oxidizing Biocide Effectiveness Against Biofilm Bacteria WITHOUT High Corrosion Rates. Bleach and similar inexpensive oxidizing biocides are effective against planktonic bacteria, but are much less effective against biofilm bacteria due to their inability to reach bacteria below the outer surface biofilm layers. Increasing oxidizing biocide treatment rates helps drive oxidizer penetration into the biofilm, but higher oxidizer concentrations throughout the system can significantly increase general corrosion rates for many metals. Continuous low-level treatment with AMSA’s ... Read more >

Data Center Process Water Clean Up
Jul 01, 2019 in Blog
The Problem: Super Computer Data Processing CPU Performance Loss Today's Big Data reality depends on real world cooling efficiency. Even a super thin biofilm and/or deposits of any kind, cause real world cooling computer efficiency issues which cost real world dollars. AMSA, Inc. has set the standard for the last 23 years for the "smart", or designed molecule approach for new products in industrial cooling water. A smart molecule is simply a molecule that is made up various "functional groups". The traditional products used in industrial cooling water are blends, mixtures or "formulas" of ... Read more >

Maintaining Microbiological Control in Cooling Towers
Go Beyond the Clean-up Power of AMSA BCP™ Chemistry - Witnessing the clean-up of a heavily fouled cooling tower or cooling water system can be a dramatic experience. Many customers are sold on the strengths of AMSA BCP™ products to penetrate/disperse/clean biofilm in cooling water systems after seeing clean-up applications similar to the one pictured here. In fact, many customers have won accounts by performing chemical cleanings in cooling towers, chillers, and closed loop systems with AMSA chemistry. However, a good cooling tower maintenance program prevents the need for cleaning a ... Read more >
Biofouling Control in Small Cooling Towers
Why is biofouling control overlooked in small cooling towers? Biofouling control in small to medium cooling towers is overlooked. AMSA, Inc. has developed a simple technology that is easier to dose than more common liquid chemical equivalents. DTEA II™ Slow Release tablets give personnel at schools, hospitals, and office buildings a safer treatment option that can last up to 30 days. Most importantly, when used in conjunction with a solid form of DBNPA, such as, AQUCAR™ SUMP BUDDY™ DB 40 TL Water Treatment Microbiocide you have an effective Biofilm Control Program™.

Why is There Foam in My Cooling Tower?
Foam in Cooling Towers Treated with BCP™ 1000 and BCP™ 2000 Series Cleaner/Dispersant Products - Foam happens - Foam generation is a common natural aquatic phenomenon, occurring in lakes, rivers and throughout the world’s oceans. Natural foams formed at a waterfall (left), and at the seashore. Foam formation requires the presence of a surface active agent (surfactant) to reduce surface tension at the air-water interface. It also requires the input of mechanical energy to mix air into the water. In natural environments this mechanical mixing energy might result from wave action, wind ... Read more >
