bio-detergents?

Answer 1

Biodetergents:
(Also called Biodispersants or Biopenetrants or Organic Dispersants)
Chemicals that can penetrate and loosen the complex matrix of biofilms allow biocides to reach the organisms for more effective kill and control.
These chemicals are typically shot fed at dosages that break down polysaccharides, emulsify oils, release minerals and foulants, or disperse the biopolymers. Sometimes they are fed continuously.

The biofilms are often the glue that allows suspended solids found in recirculating water to be bound to the surface of the cooling system components including heat exchangers, piping, and the cooling tower structure. Mineral deposits are also commonly found within this matrix. Calcium and magnesium offer bridging mechanisms to strengthen the polysaccharide polymer chains. Corrosion occurs underneath the biofilms, releasing corrosion byproducts that become part of the matrix also.

Because accumulations of dirt and the formation of biofilms can lead to corrosion and scaling, their prevention through the use of filtration, biocides, and biodetergents can be extremely important for a successful water management program.

Biodetergents help keep cooling systems clean or help clean up fouled systems by dispersing the extracellular material created by bacteria, algae, and fungus. They help biocides to penetrate and kill the biological growth. By keeping the surfaces clean, they allow scale and corrosion inhibitors to perform better.

Some biodetergents can create foaming conditions especially at high dosages, so care must be taken in product selection and applying the product. Also, the compatibility with other treatment chemistry, especially oxidizing biocides, should be considered.

Some biodetergents include:
DTEA II (2-Decylthio ethanamine)
DMAD (Fatty acid amide)
Dodecylamine acetate
Polyquaternary amines
DOSS (Dioctylsulfosuccinate)
Polyoxyalkylenes
Enzymes

Applications
A. Routine Treatment: Apply biodetergents regularly as a part of any cooling water treatment chemistry to enhance the other chemicals and minimize scale, corrosion, fouling, and biofouling.
B. Cleanup After Contamination: Some cooling systems may experience unusual process contamination, loss of control, temporary poor quality makeup water, or other short-term contamination where the application of a biodetergent can help with recovery and cleanup.
C. Wastewater Recycle: Where treated wastewater is used as a cooling makeup source that provides consistent stress on the system or contaminants such as fats, oil, or greases, or other organics, incorporating a biodetergent as part of the ongoing treatment strategy may be advisable.
D. Cooling Efficiency Optimization: Where the load on heat exchangers or cooling towers are at their peak, the use of biodetergents can aid in achieving the maximum available cooling.
E. Biocide Sensitive Discharges: It is often necessary or desirable to limit as much as possible the application of oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides because of their toxicities. In these cases, biodetergents can be a great aid in allowing minimal biocide dosages while still maintaining effective control of bacteria, fungus, and algae.....

Answer 2

Bio Detergents

Answer 3

Here are some environmentally freindly bio detergents I use. They work great. Cheaper with no filler means you use a smaller scoop per load and it's healthier on you mahcine as well. http://eanderson10.qhealthbeauty.com/search/default.aspx?Ntt=detergent
