Biofilm in Pulp and Paper Mills: The Hidden Threat to Production Quality and Equipment Uptime
Biofilm in paper mill water circuits causes sheet breaks, odour problems, corrosion, and unplanned downtime. Learn how the Alvim Biofilm Sensor detects biofilm early and verifies biocide effectiveness.
Inline Medicator vs Batch Preparation: Why Your Header Tank Is Undermining Your Livestock Medication Programme
Batch dosing in header tanks causes sedimentation, uneven medication concentration, contamination risk, and cleaning headaches. Here is why inline proportional dosing with Dosatron solves all of these at once.
Non-Chemical Water Treatment for Cooling Towers: A Practical Guide
A technical comparison of non-chemical cooling tower water treatment methods — magnetic conditioning, ozone, pulsed power, electrochemical, and more — and where the SKW System fits.
Magnetic Water Treatment Explained: How the SKW System Uses Lorentz Force to Stop Scale, Corrosion, and Biofilm
Scale builds up in your pipework, corrosion eats through your heat exchangers, and biofilm clogs your filters — and none of it needs a single milligram of chemical to start. It’s a physical problem caused by dissolved minerals and bacteria finding a comfortable surface to settle on. Chemical dosing treats the symptom. Magnetic water treatment, […]
Bare Gold Electrode vs Membrane-Type Sensors for Oxidizer and Reducing Agent Measurement
Most inline chlorine and oxidizer sensors on the market share the same weak point: a membrane. It sits between the electrode and the water, and it’s also the part that dries out, fouls, tears, and needs replacing every few months — usually right when a plant can least afford the downtime. Pyxis built its ST-765SS […]
Dipslide vs Petrifilm vs Laboratory Analysis: Which Microbial Test Should You Use?
A cooling tower, a metalworking fluid sump, and a boiler feedwater line all have the same underlying question: how many bacteria are in there right now, and does someone need to act today? Three tools answer that question at very different speeds, costs, and levels of precision — the dipslide, Petrifilm, and full laboratory analysis. […]
