Ecodosing - Biofouling control

To prevent biofouling issues, H2O developed the Ecodosing™ methodology. The Ecodosing method results in a dosing procedure which is tailored to the specific local requirements to prevent biofouling settlement and growth. This will reduce the overall chemical dosing up to 50% which results in significant O&M cost benefits. In addition, since Ecodosing requires less biocide and guarantees effective control of biofouling, its use can result in a significant (up to 50%) reduction in environmental impact. This allows a company to contribute to environmental sustainability by helping preserve the local natural environment. Ecodosing works with all type of biocides and is capable to control all type of biofouling species, it will also prevent settlement of biofouling larvae.

Ecodosing benefits include:

- Complete biofouling control in intake and (cooling) water systems.
- Ecodosing can be applied with all biocides; it’s not restricted to chlorine.
- Maintain a clean intake and water system from commissioning onwards!
- Reduced biocide requirement to an absolute minimum.
- Reduced environmental impact, up to 50% reductions in e.g.
FRC/Bromoform discharges.
- Accepted method by most water authorities.
- Reduced CAPEX investment (10-30%).
- Reduced Operational and Maintenance costs (30-60%).
- Optimal dosing system design.
- Direct insight in efficacy using biomonitoring systems.
