BCP™ 2430 is a multi-purpose product with several key uses. Its primary use is as a powerful organic deposit cleaner, deposit penetrant, and deposit dispersant in industrial water systems. BCP™ 2430 and biocide provides a cost effective Biofilm Control Program (BCP™). In particular, BCP™ 2430 can be used in Legionella cleanup and maintenance programs. When used as a cleaner/dispersant, BCP™ 2430 also provides copper corrosion inhibition comparable to azoles. When used with citric acid, in formulated form or co-fed, it provides excellent mild steel corrosion inhibition.

Ready-to-Use Product Features
Features
  • Exceptional for low ventilation space environments sensitive to odor.
  • Exceptional as dispersant, penetrant aid, and surfactant in algaecide control programs.
  • Exceptional azole-like properties.
  • Penetrates, disperses, cleans, removes organic deposits from cooling water system surfaces.
  • Low persistence (NPDES discharge permit benefit).
  • Biodegradable (NPDES permit discharge benefit).
  • Fast acting.
  • Highly effective in high demand systems such as high COC and high solids systems (high TDS).
  • 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).
  • 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
  • Low persistence in the environment (NPDES discharge permit benefit).
  • Biodegradable (NPDES permit discharge benefit).

Applications & Uses

Markets
Usage & Dosage

BCP™ 2430 may be used in 2 modes:

  • Cleanup of a fouled system.
  • Maintenance to keep systems clean (Clean it Up & Keep it Clean™)

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™ 2430 may be directly added to a water system at a point of good agitation to insure proper dispersal in the system. Typical slug dosage is 25 – 65 ppm based on system volume. (Other use patterns depend on system parameters, etc. Call us for guidance. When using oxidizing biocide call us for best practices.)

BCP™ (Biofilm/Algae/Legionella Control Program) method : Using BCP™ 2430 with your biocide/algaecide of choice provides an effective biofilm/algae control program.

Regulatory Considerations

BCP™ 2430 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™ 2430 is 6X to 60X safer* as an aquatic toxicant than the chemical called ADBAC (a quat biocide)). Note: BCP™ 2430 is not a quat, completely different. 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.
