SAVCOR PM BIO-GROWTH PREVENTION

Microbial problems - slime, smell and microbial influenced corrosion - have significantly increased after closing up white water systems in the paper machines to reduce the use of fresh water. Also increased recycling of raw materials increases the amount of nutrients in the circulation and results in severe problems. As a result, quality, productivity and the production rates are affected.

Savcor PM Bio-Growth Prevention is a non chemical method to keep paper processes clean. Bio-Growth Prevention system keeps metal surfaces clean by applying electrochemical polarization of the surfaces. The preventive current is conducted into the metal surface through the electrolyte. Oxidation or reduction reactions are generated by varying the direction and amount of the current. The pH level in the thin molecular layer directly on the surface is changed, creating conditions that prevent scale and slime formation.
