Product Description
Biocide & Algaecide is a specialized water treatment chemical designed to control bacteria, algae and other microorganisms in industrial circulating cooling water systems.
Microbial growth in cooling water systems can contribute to biofilm formation, fouling, reduced heat-transfer efficiency and operational problems. A properly selected biocide program helps control microbial activity and maintain cleaner system conditions.
Hanhai Chemical supplies different Biocide & Algaecide formulations according to microbial conditions, water chemistry, system characteristics and treatment requirements.
The product can be used in cooling towers, industrial circulating water systems, heat exchangers and other suitable industrial water systems.
For product selection, customers can provide information about their water system, microbial problem, current treatment chemicals and operating conditions.

Applications
Cooling Tower Systems
Cooling towers provide conditions where microorganisms may grow if the water treatment program is not properly controlled.
Biocide & Algaecide can be incorporated into a cooling-water treatment program to help control bacteria, algae and biological fouling.
Product selection and dosing strategy should be based on the actual cooling tower conditions.
Industrial Circulating Water
The product can be used in industrial circulating water systems where microbial growth may affect system cleanliness and operating performance.
Typical industries include:
- Petrochemical
- Chemical processing
- Power generation
- Steel and metallurgy
- Manufacturing
- Other industrial facilities
Heat Exchanger Systems
Biofilm and biological deposits on heat-transfer surfaces can interfere with efficient heat exchange.
Microbial control, together with an appropriate scale and corrosion treatment program, can help maintain cleaner system surfaces and more stable operation.
Petrochemical & Refinery Water Systems
Industrial cooling-water systems in petrochemical and refinery operations may operate continuously under demanding conditions.
A suitable biocide program can be incorporated into the overall water treatment strategy according to microbial conditions and system requirements.
Power & Metallurgical Industries
Cooling-water systems in power plants, steel plants and metallurgical facilities may also require microbial control.
The appropriate product and dosing program should be selected according to the actual system conditions.
Microbial Problems in Cooling Water Systems
Microorganisms can create several operational problems in circulating water systems.
Common concerns include:
Bacterial Growth
Bacteria can multiply in suitable cooling-water environments and contribute to slime and biological deposits.
Algae Growth
Algae are particularly common in areas exposed to sunlight, including certain cooling tower surfaces and open-water sections.
Biofilm Formation
Microbial communities can form biofilms on pipelines, heat exchangers and other system surfaces.
Biofilm can interfere with heat transfer and may contribute to under-deposit operational problems.
Biological Fouling
Accumulation of microorganisms and biological deposits can affect water distribution, heat transfer and general system cleanliness.
How Biocide & Algaecide Works
Different biocide formulations control microorganisms through different mechanisms.
For this reason, the appropriate product should be selected according to the type of microbial problem, water chemistry and system operating conditions.
Depending on the treatment program, the product may be applied continuously or through controlled periodic dosing.
A typical cooling-water treatment concept may include:
Make-up Water → Cooling Tower → Biocide Dosing → Circulating Water → Heat Exchanger → Return to Cooling Tower
Microbial control is normally only one part of the overall cooling-water treatment program.
Other chemicals may also be required for scale, corrosion and deposit control.
Product Advantages
Effective Microbial Control
Designed to help control bacteria, algae and other microbial growth in suitable industrial water systems.
Biofilm Control
Helps reduce biological fouling and the formation of unwanted microbial deposits under appropriate treatment conditions.
Suitable for Cooling Water Systems
Can be selected for cooling towers, heat exchangers and industrial circulating water systems.
Multiple Formulations Available
Different formulations can be supplied according to the microbial problem and operating environment.
Compatible Treatment Programs
Can be incorporated into an overall cooling-water program together with appropriate scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors and dispersants.
Customized Product Selection
Product selection and dosing approach can be discussed according to the customer’s water quality, microbial conditions and system operation.
Customized Microbial Control Solution
Microbial conditions can vary significantly between different cooling-water systems.
For product selection, customers can provide:
- System Type
- Cooling Water Volume
- Make-up Water Analysis
- Circulating Water Analysis
- pH
- Operating Temperature
- Microbial Problem
- Algae / Slime Condition
- Current Biocide
- Current Dosage
- Dosing Frequency
- Other Water Treatment Chemicals
- Existing Treatment Problem
If available, microbial test results can also help with product evaluation.
Based on the system conditions, a suitable Biocide & Algaecide formulation and dosing approach can be discussed.
Biocide Treatment Program
There is no single biocide program suitable for every cooling-water system.
The appropriate treatment depends on:
Microbial Load + Water Chemistry + Temperature + System Design + Water Retention + Existing Treatment Chemicals
In some systems, different types of biocide may be used as part of a planned microbial-control strategy.
The final product and dosing program should therefore be determined according to the actual operating conditions.
Packaging & Storage
Biocide & Algaecide is supplied in suitable industrial packaging according to the selected formulation.
Packaging can be arranged according to order quantity, transportation requirements and customer needs.
Store in accordance with the product-specific SDS, in suitable conditions and away from incompatible materials.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
Because different biocide formulations may have different handling and storage requirements, customers should follow the SDS for the actual supplied product.

FAQ
What is Biocide & Algaecide used for?
Biocide & Algaecide is used to help control bacteria, algae and other microbial growth in suitable industrial water systems.
Can it be used in cooling towers?
Yes. Industrial cooling towers are an important application for microbial-control chemicals.
Can it control biofilm?
An appropriate microbial-control program can help reduce microbial growth associated with biofilm and biological fouling.
Existing heavy biofilm may require additional cleaning or treatment measures.
Is Biocide & Algaecide the same as Scale & Corrosion Inhibitor?
No.
Biocide & Algaecide primarily targets microbial growth.
Scale & Corrosion Inhibitor primarily helps control mineral scaling and corrosion.
They may both form part of a complete cooling-water treatment program.
Can they be used together?
They may be used within the same overall cooling-water treatment program, but chemical compatibility and dosing procedures should be evaluated for the specific formulations.
They should not automatically be mixed together in concentrated form.
What dosage should I use?
There is no universal dosage.
Dosage depends on the selected formulation, microbial load, system water volume, water chemistry and operating conditions.
Do you supply oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides?
Different microbial-control formulations can be discussed according to the customer’s application and system requirements.
The specific product should be confirmed before technical parameters and dosing recommendations are provided.
Can you provide COA, TDS and SDS?
Yes. Relevant documentation can be provided according to the actual supplied formulation.
