PURATE is a unique stabilized solution of sodium chlorate and hydrogen peroxide, leveraging over 40 years of biocide experience. This biocide program offers turnkey technologies and services designed to enhance efficiencies, reduce operational costs, and maximize results, particularly in challenging water conditions. It specifically addresses microbial fouling in cooling water systems, a common issue that can lead to high corrosion rates on metal alloys and damage to wooden components. Unlike industry-standard oxidizing biocides, PURATE, through its generated chlorine dioxide, effectively targets bacteria, algae, and bacterial spores that are resistant to other treatments. The system uses a safe, two-component generator to produce low-concentration chlorine dioxide on-site, ensuring it maintains effectiveness at elevated pH levels and does not react with common cooling water contaminants. Furthermore, it avoids the production of chlorinated organics, which is beneficial for wastewater discharge regulations. PURATE is presented as the solution for systems experiencing significant fouling and poor heat transfer performance.
