Biocides for Membrane Systems

Reverse Osmosis systems are favorable environments for microorganisms to thrive. The Biomate™ products from GE Water & Process Technologies 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 MBC781 is an EPA registered, non-oxidizing biocide for sanitizing reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) systems and membranes.

Biomate MBC881 and 2881 are used to reduce slime build-up in RO and UF membranes. Most effective as a bactericide, 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.
