Membrane Biological Control

Microbiological activity can result in microbiological fouling. Fouling from these species impedes the flow of water through the membrane. This can result in unacceptably low production, high operating pressure, or an excessive pressure drop in the system, which may lead to irreversible membrane damage.

The objective of a treatment program is to expose the attached microbial population to an antimicrobial dosage sufficient to penetrate and disrupt the biofilm. The nonoxidizing biocides exert their effects on microorganisms by reaction with specific cell components. Some of them are surface active molecules consequently, able to penetrate the organic barrier and reach intracellular components. Growth is hindered and the cells die. ANCI bio growth control program combines these properties in a judicious way, providing a real solution against biological fouling.
