Non-Oxidising Biocides vs Bio-Dispersants: Which Is Better for Cooling Tower Water Treatment?

Maintaining clean, safe water in cooling towers is crucial for preventing the growth of harmful bacteria, including Legionella. Biocides and bio-dispersants both play important roles in this process, but there is growing interest in whether the application of non-oxidising biocides might offer a more effective solution than traditional bio-dispersants alone. By combining oxidising and non-oxidising biocides, many experts suggest that water systems can be treated more thoroughly, targeting both bacterial load and the biofilms that protect microorganisms.

How Important Are Biocides in Water Treatment?

In this article the industrial water experts at WTS consider the importance of biocides when developing effective water treatment programmes. We look at the different types of biocides, explain how they work, and conclude by reviewing how they are used to maintain clean, efficient and safe water systems.

What is Silver Stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide?

Silver stabilised hydrogen peroxide has become an increasingly important tool in modern hygiene and water treatment, offering a powerful yet environmentally responsible alternative to more traditional disinfectants. By combining the natural antimicrobial qualities of silver with the oxidising strength of hydrogen peroxide, this versatile biocide delivers exceptional performance across a wide range of applications. From disinfecting surfaces and equipment to treating water, wastewater and effluent streams, its ability to control bacteria, viruses, moulds and fungi makes it highly effective in both commercial and industrial settings. At the same time, its eco-friendly nature, breaking down safely into water and oxygen, means it can achieve outstanding results without leaving behind harmful residues.
