Preventing the growth of microorganisms has key importance to cooling system exploitation. Biofilm has excellent isolational parameters (biofilm has a thermal conductivity twice lower than that of carbonate stone), and therefore its growth on heat-exchange surfaces heavily reduces efficiency in the system. Microorganisms consume organic substances, which in conjunction with the creation of slime, supports the spread of corrosion effects. Additionally, the presence of slime obstructs the flow of water and increasing the costs of pumping. Lastly, the present pathogens and the possibility of human contact with water leaking from coolers and condensers pose the risk of legionella disease infection.

All these aspects make it so apropriate microbiological control is necessary for correct exploitaion of a water cooling system, regardless of whether the object of cooling is an industrial process, a capacitor at a power plant or an in-office AC system. Both oxidizing biocides (such as chlorine in the form of hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide), and non-oxidizing biocides (such as derivatives of isothiazolinone or DBNPA) are used. The choice of biocide, its dose size, the dosing strategy and its frequency.
MCC offers the selection and supply of apropriate preparations and dosage systems. We also offer technological services, providing an economical and safe exploitation of cooling systems.
