ECT’s Fresh Water treatment and legionella control services
Biofilm removal and sanitization of fresh water systems are essential for maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of these systems. Biofilms are slimy, complex microbial communities that can form on surfaces in water systems, such as pipes, tanks, and filters. They consist of bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microorganisms that adhere to the surface and form a protective matrix, making them resistant to conventional cleaning methods and disinfectants.
To effectively remove and sanitize biofilms in fresh water systems, ECT, uses a comprehensive approach combining mechanical and chemical methods. Here are some steps:

explanation
Assess the extent of biofilm contamination and develop a plan for its removal and sanitization. This may involve inspecting the system, identifying problem areas, and determining the appropriate techniques and products to use.
Begin by physically removing as much of the biofilm as possible. This can be done through techniques such as scrubbing, brushing, or high-pressure water jetting. The goal is to dislodge and break apart the biofilm matrix.
After mechanical cleaning, apply appropriate chemical agents to further eliminate the remaining biofilm and disinfect the system. Different chemicals may be used depending on the type of microorganisms present and the materials used in the system. Commonly used disinfectants include chlorine-based compounds, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds, or specialized biofilm-removing agents. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommended concentrations for proper application.
After the chemical treatment, thoroughly flush the system with clean water to remove any residual chemicals, debris, or loosened biofilm fragments. This helps ensure that the water system is free from contaminants.
Regularly monitor the freshwater system for any signs of biofilm reformation or microbial growth. Implement appropriate preventive measures, such as regular cleaning and disinfection schedules, maintenance of proper water flow and temperature, and periodic water quality testing.
It is important to note that the specific procedures and chemicals are used may vary depending on the type and size of the fresh water system, local regulations, and the desired level of sanitization.
