BG5 Biofilm Growth Detector

Know your system is clean

SI developed the industry leading biofilm growth detection system, BG5™, to monitor the effectiveness of biocide treatment in water chemistry programs and ensure sufficient application of biocide for system health.

The controller ensures sufficient biocide is added to prevent micro-biological growth and provides real-time monitoring. Optimizing the biocide treatment approach will save on operating costs while also reducing the environmental impact.

MONITOR GROWTH

Monitor Biofilm Activity to Reduce, Prevent, or Eliminate Growth.

MAXIMIZE TREATMENT

Optimize Biocide Chemical Treatments by Tracking Biofilm Growth Instead of the Concentration of Biocide Chemicals.

MONETIZE ASSETS

Lower Biocide Chemical Dosing Costs, Reduce Repair and Replacement Costs for System Components and Operate Water Systems More Efficiently.

Monitor Biofilm Growth on Surfaces

The BG5 Biofilm Growth Detector system monitors growth online, in real-time, allowing optimization of biocide chemical treatment. Maximize the effectiveness of biocide treatments and treatment schedules, ensuring prevention of microbiological growth buildup and avoiding excess biocide. BG5 helps users reduce cost, avoid unnecessary environmental burdens, and decrease microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC).

BG5 Enables Asset Risk Management

Assets’ face risk when colonies of bacterial growth on wetted surfaces form into biofilms overtime. Unchecked biofilm growth inhibits thermal efficiency and allows for the development of microbiologically influence corrosion (MIC). MIC is localized corrosion that develops on surfaces where biofilms grow.

Biofilm Growth Online, Real-Time Reporting

BG5 includes an analyzing software, BG Connect, and a phone/tablet App, BGMobile, providing data sets, customizable graphs, and shareable reports to make understanding the chemical treatment program effectiveness easy!
