The goal of any microbiological growth control program, whether it is a single target organism or a multitude of threats, requires the control of the total population. For example, the application of biocides such as chlorine or ozone or the use of thermal shock results in an impact on the total population. In many . . . → Read More: Microbiological Control in Real-time for any Industrial Process Fluid

By providing easily and rapidly measured bioburden test results, the Quench-Gone Organic-Modified (QGO-M) and Deposit and Surface Analysis (DSA) tests for Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) in metalworking fluid (MWF) and MWF system surfaces can reduce annual fluid management costs by 5 to 10%.

As illustrated in the model case study provided below, for a single . . . → Read More: Economic Case for Microbiology in Metalworking Fluids

Control of microbial growth in process water applications for manufacturing operations is of the utmost importance.  Uncontrolled microbial growth is frequently implicated as the primary culprit in instances of poor process performance, off-specification product quality, and worker health and safety risks.  As a consequence, operators make routine use of anti-microbial treatments such as biocides . . . → Read More: Improve Manufacturing Process Bottom Line

In knowing the size and health of the active biomass population in a wastewater treatment process, cause-and-effect relationships can then be established with process variables. If a change in the process is beneficial or detrimental to the population, ATP results will indicate to what degree the population is helped or harmed by the change. . . . → Read More: Application Focus: Biological Wastewater Treatment

The chemical products manufacturing industry is understandably diverse.  However, a common theme in many of these goods is that they contain organic material that can serve as a food source to microorganisms.  Products such as paints, coatings, latex, adhesives, and concrete admixtures are all prone to significant biodegradation issues if microbial growth is not . . . → Read More: Application Focus: Chemical Production and Preservation
