BCP™ 2175 is a multi-purpose product. Its primary use is as a powerful organic deposit cleaner, deposit penetrant, and deposit dispersant in industrial water systems. This is a “cross-over” product and thus, it provides the benefits of 2 active ingredients, a blend of the classic DTEA II™ (BCP™ 1000 chemistry) and BCP™ 2000. BCP™ 2175 and biocide provides a cost effective Biofilm Control Program (BCP™). In particular, using BCP™ 2175 in a Legionella cleanup and subsequent maintenance program can be effective. When used as a cleaner/dispersant, BCP™ 2175 provides copper corrosion inhibition comparable azoles. When used with citric acid, in formulated form or co-fed, it provides excellent mild steel corrosion inhibition.

Features
  • Designed for low ventilation space environments sensitive to odor.
  • Exceptional as dispersant, penetrant aid, and surfactant in algae control programs.
  • Enhanced azole-like copper corrosion inhibition properties.
  • Reduces corrosion by keeping metal surfaces free of organic deposition (indirect mode of action), as well as acting similar to a film forming amine (direct mode of action).
  • Penetrates, disperses, cleans, removes organic deposits from cooling water system surfaces.
  • Biodegradable (NPDES permit discharge benefit).
  • Fast acting.
  • Highly effective in high demand systems such as high COC and high solids systems (high TDS).
  • Increases biocide effectiveness and lowers their use levels and subsequent costs.
  • Excellent compatibility with cooling water treatment programs.
  • Reduces oxidizing biocide demand and increases biocide residuals.
  • Not affected by high pH; works very well at pH above 7.
  • Not affected by high organic load.
  • Not affected by high concentrations of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, or other strong nucleophiles.
  • Best used prior to the addition of oxidizing biocide or just after biocide has been added.
Environmental Benefits

As BCP™ 2000 series products provide quick degradation rates, and because they can be degraded prior to release with commonly used cooling tower treatments, they have environmental friendly profiles.

  • Low persistence in the the environment (NPDES discharge permit benefit).
  • Biodegradable (NPDES permit discharge benefit).

Applications & Uses

Markets
Usage & Dosage

BCP™ 2175 may be used in 2 modes:

  • Cleanup of a fouled system.
  • Maintenance of a relatively clean system, preferably used in conjunction with a scale & corrosion program.

For a heavily fouled system, use BCP™ 2430 series products a part of the physical and/or chemical program and then proceed to use BCP™ 2430 in maintenance mode.
Dosage methods: Slug, Continuous, or Semi-continuous.
BCP™ 2175 may be directly added to a water system at a point of good agitation to insure proper dispersal in the system. Typical dosage is 25 – 65 ppm based on system volume.

BCP ™ (Biofilm/Algae/Legionella Control Program) method: Using BCP™ 2175 with your biocide/algaecide of choice provides an effective biofilm/algae control program or as we have termed. Call us for specific information on which biocides/algaecides are preferred in our view, what specific biocides/algaecides have been used effectively, etc.

Regulatory Considerations

BCP™ 2175 is biodegradable (OECD guidelines and aquatic use profile is in keeping with modern day expectations of water treatment chemicals for ecological friendliness. For comparison purposes, BCP™ 2175 is 6X to 60X safer  in aquatic toxicity testing than the chemical called ADBAC (a quat biocide)). Note: BCP™ 2175 is not a quat.

BCP™ formulations are not sold, warranted, or implied to be used as a biocide by AMSA, Inc. in the USA. Such product use is allowed in the USA only under rules and regulations as specified under FIFRA and enforced by the USA EPA.
