AQL BROMACTTM- Oxidising-Biocide

Benefits:

  • Effective at high pH
  • Easy to handle, apply and control
  • Cost effective
  • Much faster kill rates than chlorine
  • Lower corrosion rates than chlorine.
  • Not affected by ammonia.

DESCRIPTION:  AQL BROMACT is a liquid, oxidizing biocide specially formulated to control bacteria, algae, fungi and slime in recirculating and once-through cooling water systems, breweries, pasteurizing systems, waste water systems and pulp and paper mills.  The EPA registration number is 3377-25-64488.  A bromine based biocide, AQL BROMACT was developed to overcome the deficiencies of chlorine and chlorine derivatives.  It must be used in conjunction with an oxidizing catalyst such as AQUALINE AQL CHLORACT.

DOSAGE RATES:  Initial Dose: When the system is noticeably fouled, apply sufficient AQL BROMACT and AQL CHLORACT to achieve a residual bromine level of 0.5-1.0 ppm or as needed to maintain control.  Typically, the recommended rate is 1.3-5.2 gallon AQL CHLORACT for each gallon of AQL BROMACT.

.METHOD OF FEED: AQL BROMACT may be added to the system either continuously or intermittently or as needed, but should be added to the circulation water just before the AQL CHLORACT. The frequency of feeding and duration of the treatment will depend upon the severity of the problem.  It is recommended that the product be used in a manner such that the effluent discharges meet the NPDES guidelines.
