MAKS 4141 MICROORGANISM CONTROL AGENT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MAKS 4141 is a nonionic biodetergent for removing and dispersing microbiological-based slime and silt deposits within cooling tower fill. As a detergent, MAKS 4141 disrupts biofilm integrity removing surface deposits and facilitating biocide penetration into the slime. As a dispersant, MAKS 4141 disperses dislodged biofilm aggregates into the bulk water preventing redeposition. MAKS 4141 removes surface deposits through a combination of chemical solubilization and physical scrubbing by entrained air bubbles.
PRINCIPAL USES
MAKS 4141 is a dispersant which helps remove microbiological deposits from cooling system surfaces and inhibits their reattachment. It increases the effectiveness of both oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides by improving penetration of the microbiological slime. It also improves heat transfer efficiency, reduces under-deposit corrosion and increases the time between turn-arounds by controlling slime build-up.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
➢ Dispersing microbiological-based slime and silt deposits within cooling tower fill
➢ Disperses and prevents slime deposits
➢ Maintains/increases heat transfer efficiency – supports corrosion protection programs
➢ Improves effectiveness of chlorination and biocides
➢ Helps reduce maintenance costs and prolong equipment life
➢ Minimal environmental impact
DOSAGE
The specific dosage of MAKS 4141 is system dependent. In general, higher dosages are required for systems that are heavily fouled with microbiological growth. The most effective dosage for fastest cleaning is that at which a stable foam is first observed in the cooling tower basin. Continuos feed will provide the fastest cleaning. Generally the product dosage should be fed at the high end of the range for the first 1-3 months until cooling tower performance is restored and then reduced to a lower maintenance level.
Your BIMAKS representative will recommend the optimum dosage necessary to ensure maximum program performance according to your specific system parameters.
