Is Biofilm Damage slowing your plant down?

The Problem
Biofilm Is Bad for Business

Biofilm is more than a cleanliness issue; it’s an operational disaster waiting to happen. Here’s what it’s doing to your business:

  • Clogging Systems: Water flow is disrupted over surfaces reducing CIP efficiencies as biofilms builds up in pipes and on equipment surfaces.
  • Damaging Equipment: Mineral deposits from hard water give biofilm the perfect foothold, accelerating corrosion and wear.
  • Risking Contamination: In industries like food processing, biofilm can compromise quality and lead to expensive recalls.

Contaminant or Not? Know Your Biofilm
Not all biofilm is a contaminant, but when it is, the stakes are high. ChemServe can help you determine whether biofilm in your system poses a threat and provide immediate solutions if it does.

A Cause to Consider: Hard Water—The Hidden Culprit

Hard water isn’t just annoying; it’s a biofilm enabler. Here’s how it’s making your problems worse:

  • Leaves Mineral Deposits: These deposits become a launching pad for biofilm
  • Weakens Cleaning Agents: Hard water reduces the effectiveness of standard cleaners.
  • Accelerates Grime Buildup: Your equipment works harder, and you pay the price in efficiency on heat exchange surfaces.

Ignoring hard water means letting biofilm win. Don’t give it the upper hand.

The Solution
ChemServe Has Your Back

ChemServe has the tools and expertise to tackle biofilms and protect your operations. Here’s how:

  1. Install Water Softeners

    Reduce mineral deposits with a water softening system. Fewer deposits mean fewer biofilm-friendly surfaces.

  2. Use Targeted Cleaning Agents

    Generic cleaners aren’t cutting it. ChemServe provides cleaning solutions designed to destroy biofilms while preserving your equipment.

  3. Schedule Routine Cleaning

    Consistent, thorough cleaning prevents biofilms from taking hold. Focus on high-risk areas like joints and crevices.

  4. Test and Verify

    Certify your cleaning processes with routine inspections and validation tests. Stop wasting time on guesswork.
