Welcome to Industrial Biofouling Science
Detecting and solving biological and chemical contamination issues in full-scale
solution-handling systems.
Our business provides problem solving, consulting, training and direct measurements of fouling
in product transfer lines and storage tanks, using the combined strengths of surface analytical
chemistry, engineering, and microbiology.
In large processes, biofouling or wall fouling problems can generate very costly waste, in excess
of $1M per incident. The problems can be random, coming and going with little warning. Wall fouling
leads to expensive process downtime and aggressive cleaning methods, and can lead to poor-quality
product in the hands of your customers.
Industrial Biofouling Science provides:
- Early detection of biofouling and wall fouling problems, before they become quality incidents
- Fundamental knowledge of how your product interacts with your transfer lines and tank walls
- Direct measurement of how well your current cleaning processes are working
- Direct measurement of biofilm in your process, and how well your cleaning process controls biofilm
- Process contamination consultation
- Technology transfer, teaching you how to find and fix process contamination issues in your facilities
- Water flush optimization, reducing water use while improving water flush effectiveness
- Chemical cleaning optimization, reducing the cost of chemical cleaning by dialing in choice of
chemicals, concentration, temperature, contact time
Industrial Biofouling Science can become a key partner in taking your process cleaning to the next
level, finding and eliminating problems before they become emergencies.
