Mexel Industries S.A. is a medium-sized company based in Verberie (Oise), France. Founded in 1990 to develop solutions to treating the water used for cooling in industrial processes, the company is known for its patented biodegradable organic emulsions, environmentally safe, that act at the interfaces level, between the molecules. Mexel industries S.A. was awarded the Picardie DRIRE 2005 trophy for sustainable development. Mexel 432, cited by the IPPC (European Union) as one of the “Best Available Technology to Industrial Cooling”, in accordance with European regulations is registered by the US EPA, the APVMA (Australia) and the OSPAR (Oslo-Paris Convention, Denmark). == Biofilm removal system == Industrial processes experience problems with fouling from a variety of biological and chemical sources that significantly increase their operating and maintenance costs and decrease their efficiency. Mexel 432 is injected in microdose (+ / -5 ppm) for a 30 minute duration once per day. It migrates to the surface and deposits a molecular film (10−8mm). The mixture of aliphatic amine surfactants is a micro and macro anti-fouling material that acts as a corrosion inhibitor and scale dispersant as well as having activity against freshwater and saltwater mussels and barnacles. It adsorbs to exposed surfaces and forms a protective anti-fouling biofilm on internal components when present is circulating water. Once the material is absorbed to a surface, biofouling organisms cannot form an attachment and it remains in place until it degrades, and this minimizes its presence in outfall. By removing the biofilm from system surfaces, Mexel 432 is effective in inhibiting toxic algae (Naegleria fowleri) blooms and growth of bacteria colonies by species including SRB, TRB and legionella. Mexel 432 is not sufficiently toxic to kill these organisms in the water column, but it retards population growth by eliminating their habitat. The emulsion is non-oxidant and tensioactive. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mexel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
