Cooling Water Treatment
Novachem Algae Control
NOVACHEM ALGAE CONTROL is a liquid blend of organic polymers which prevents algae and fouling in open, re-circulating, fresh water cooling systems. It is formulated to efficiently metabolize certain forms of Nitrogen and Phosphorous in water, essentially robbing these major nutrients from algae life without affecting other characteristics of the water. This in effect weakens and ruptures algae cell walls, which eventually die and turn brown and cane be removed during blowdown thus leaving clear water.
Nova Algae control is non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-flammable.
SPECIFICATIONS
Appearance : Dark Brown liquid
Sp. Gravity : 1.04 to 1.06
pH : 10.00 to 11.00
Solubility in water : Completely soluble in water
Application :
NOVACHEM ALGAE CONTROL is ideal for use in cooling towers or any other open cooling water system for the prevention of all types of Algae.
Dosage :
NOVACHEM ALGAE CONTROL fed to the cooling water either at full strength or diluted with water by means of a dosage pump or any other convenient method. The dosage required is determined by visual inspection of the cooling water for algae contamination and also varies with seasons. However a general dose of 0.5 Liters per 10000 Liters of cooling water suffices in most cases.
Caution :
Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. Goggles and gloves should be worn when handling. In case of direct contact with skin, wash with plenty of fresh water. For eyes, flush with fresh water immediately and get medical attention.
