Managing Risk at the Water System Interface

Using system hot water (❯60 °C), Horne’s patented ILTDU delivers targeted thermal disinfection at the water system periphery, where potable water meets a non-sterile (ward) environment. Combined with elevated velocity flushing, which mechanically shears and removes excess bulk biofilm, it addresses both established pipework biofilm, and contamination driven by retrograde ingress. This approach avoids selective pressures associated with chemical dosing, supporting control of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, NTM and other waterborne organisms while protecting system integrity, water quality and lowering environmental impact.

Result of using Erythorbate

To scavenge or to passivate has long been the question when controlling oxygen-induced corrosion in feed lines and steam raining equipment.
Here’s a short introduction to a product that allows you to do both: Sodium Erythorbate. It’s an oxygen scavenger and passivator utilising residual dissolved oxygen in the metal passivation reactions. Erythorbate and its degradation products continue to remove oxygen with an eventual residual of water and carbon dioxide hence not adding to the boiler water solids reducing Blowdown.
