Reduce bacterial growth and slime with advanced biocides
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are favorable environments for microorganisms to thrive. GE’s Biomate* products are non-oxidizing biocides that are highly effective in reducing bacterial growth and the build-up of slime on a variety of membrane types.
Biomate MBC products are EPA registered non-oxidizing biocide for sanitizing RO and ultrafiltration (UF) systems and membranes. Most effective as bactericides, they will also control fungi and algae when used at higher dosages. A treatment program using products from both Biomate and Kleen™ will result in more effective membrane cleaning and decreased cleaning frequency.
