Slime control in paper machine shower water systems with unique chemical-free electro-technology - It is a viable alternative to current chemical methods
K. Wiltshire et al., Slime control in paper machine shower water systems with unique chemical-free electro-technology - It is a viable alternative to current chemical methods, PULP PAPER, 101(12), 2000, pp. 103-106
A unique capacitance based technology has been demonstrated effective for p
reventing the plugging of paper machine shower water nozzles by microbial s
lime, A major cost reduction was accomplished by replacing chemical biocide
treatment with an installation of the Zeta Rod(TM) deposit control system.
The new technology functions by causing rapid super-hydration of existing
biological slime deposits and by presenting thr attachment of free-floating
bacteria onto surfaces where they would colonize causing flow obstructions
and corrosive deposits.
