Industry applications
By using “Intelligent Deposit Protection®” the use of biocides and chemicals in cooling and product processes can be enormously reduced or even dropped to zero. In all cases the operating time can be considerably extended. Cooling towers can be operated with a minimum to zero biocide dosage even following legal requirements
like the German 42nd German Emission Regulation. Process operations become more resource saving, more environmentally friendly, more sustainable and more reliable. At the same time operational safety is increased due to no longer deposit caused interruptions. Finally, the life spam is increased due to prevented biocorrosion.
IDP®
The Challenge
Biofilms are formed by the random settlement of microorganisms on surfaces that convey liquids. These multiply and form a kind of protective film, which ensures even better adhesion and at the same time increases resistance to external influences. Further germs establish themselves and promote the growth of the film, which now also begins to spread. By absorbing nutrients (e.g. metals), the gel film can also harden, which further increases its mechanical resistance. In industrial plants, biofilm favors the deposition of organic and inorganic residues, which decompose materials.
This phenomenon is called biofouling or biocorrosion in technical terms. In industrial cooling systems, biofilm forms the habitat for bacteria such as Legionella or Pseudomonas.
The Solution
Intelligent Deposit Protection
IDP® is the next generation of Dynamic Biofilm Protection® of HASYTEC, the German ultrasound technology which has won multiple awards and is developed especially for industrial demand. The technology prevents organic and inorganic deposits as well as biocorrosion on all liquid carrying surfaces and follows especially the demand of the industry and its regulations.
Each single transducer measures the impact of its own vicinity of the installation spot in terms of temperature of its direct environment, kind of material, thickness of material, viscosity and temperature of the medium in the application and some more parameters. The optimal combination of frequency and power is then generated on the basis of the evaluated measures.
