Power, O&G, Chemical and Desalinations plants use large quantities of surface water to cool their generation processes or to make potable water. However, besides water, mussels, oysters, and bacteria can enter the intake water system, which offers favorable conditions for settlement and growth of these organisms. Biofouling can have a significant impact on the hydraulics and can result in major operational problems, including unplanned plant shutdowns due to head loss.
H2O’s Ecodosing principle provides the plants with a cost-efficient biofouling control method with a guaranteed effectiveness that complies with stringent regulatory discharge limits.
