TECHNICAL FIELD
[002] This invention relates to the production of a stable oxidizing biocide and the apparatus used in the said production. The invention has several embodiments of the apparatus but there are two main embodiments of the invention, in situ production and remote production. The fact that the oxidizing biocide is in a more stable form allows for its production, storage and transportation. The invention demonstrates the apparatus used to produce a stable and functional chloramine as one example of a stable oxidizing biocide, which allows for the use of chloramines in water treatment systems, and a wide variety of other treatment systems, as biocidal composition without its rapid degradation.
BACKGROUND
[003] The invention described here pertains to the apparatus for production of a biofouling control agent. The basis for the invention is an apparatus that provides for the composition of the reactants and the conditions for production using concentrated reactants, to convert two liquid solutions from their native chemical form to another, with altered biocidal properties.
[004] Throughout the world, there are many different types of industrial water systems. Industrial water systems exist so that necessary chemical, mechanical and biological processes can be conducted to reach the desired outcome. Fouling can occur even in industrial water systems treated with the best water treatment programs currently available. For purposes of this patent application "fouling" is defined as "the deposition of any organic or inorganic material on a surface".
[005] If these industrial water systems are not treated for microbial fouling control, then they will become heavily fouled. Fouling has a negative impact on the industrial water system. For example, severe mineral scale (inorganic material) will buildup on the water contact surfaces and anywhere there is scale, there is an ideal environment for the growth of microorganisms,
[006] Fouling occurs by a variety of mechanisms including deposition of air-borne and water-borne and water-formed contaminants, water stagnation, process leaks, and other factors. If allowed to progress, the system can suffer from decreased operational efficiency, premature equipment failure, loss in productivity, loss in product quality, and increased health-related risks associated with microbial fouling.
[007] Fouling can also occur due to microbiological contamination. Sources of microbial contamination in industrial water systems are numerous and may include, but are not limited to, air-borne contamination, water make-up, process leaks and improperly cleaned equipment. These microorganisms can establish microbial communities on any wetted or semi-wetted surface of the water system. Once these microbial populations are present in the bulk water more than 99% of the microbes present in the water will be present on all surfaces, in the form of biofilms.
[008] Exopolymeric substance secreted from the microorganisms aid in the formation of biofilms as the microbial communities develop on the surface. These biofilms are complex ecosystems that establish a means for concentrating nutrients and offer protection for growth. Biofilms can accelerate scale, corrosion, and other fouling processes. Not only do biofilms contribute to reduction of system efficiencies, but they also provide an excellent environment for microbial proliferation that can include pathogenic bacteria. It is therefore important that biofilms and other fouling processes be reduced to the greatest extent possible to maximize process efficiency and minimize the health-related risks from water-borne pathogens.
[009] Several factors contribute to the problem of biological fouling and govern its extent. Water temperature; water pH; organic and inorganic nutrients, growth conditions such as aerobic or anaerobic conditions, and in some cases the presence or absence of sunlight, etc. can play an important role. These factors also help in deciding what types of microorganisms might be present in the water system.
[0010] As described earlier, biological fouling can cause unwanted process interferences and therefore must be controlled. Many different approaches are utilized for the control of biological fouling in industrial processes. The most commonly used method is the application of biocidal compounds to the process waters. The biocides applied may be oxidizing or non-oxidizing in nature. Due to several different factors such as economics and environmental concerns, the oxidizing biocides are preferred. Oxidizing biocides such as chlorine gas, hypochlorous acid, bromine derived biocides, and other oxidizing biocides are widely used in the treatment of industrial water systems.
[0011] One factor in establishing the efficacy of oxidizing biocides is the presence of components within the water matrix that would constitute a "chlorine demand" or oxidizing biocide demand. "Chlorine demand" is defined as the quantity of chlorine that is reduced or otherwise transformed to inert forms of chlorine by substances in the water. Chlorine-consuming substances include, but are not limited to, microorganisms, organic molecules, ammonia and amino derivatives; sulfides, cyanides, oxidizable cations, pulp lignins, starch, sugars, oil, water treatment additives like scale and corrosion inhibitors, etc. Microbial growth in the water and in biofilms contributes to the chlorine demand of the water and to the chlorine demand of the system to be treated. Conventional oxidizing biocides were found to be ineffective in waters containing a high chlorine demand, including heavy slimes. Non-oxidizing biocides are usually recommended for such waters.
Chloramines are effective and are typically used in conditions where a high demand for oxidizing biocides such as chlorine exists or under conditions that benefit from the persistence of an Oxidizing' biocide. Domestic water systems are increasingly being treated with chloramines. Chloramines are generally formed when free chlorine reacts with ammonia present or added to the waters. Many different methods for production of chloramines have been documented. Certain key parameters of the reaction between the chlorine and the nitrogen source determine the stability, and efficacy of the produced biocidal compound. The previously described methods have relied on either the pre-formation of dilute solutions of the reactants followed by their combination to produce a solution of chloramines. The reactants are an amine source in the form of an ammonium salt (sulfate, bromide, or chloride) and a Cl-donor (chlorine donor) in the form of gas or combined with alkali earth metal (Na or Ca). Also, the described methods have relied on controlling the pH of the reaction mix by addition of a reactant at a high pH or by the separate addition of a caustic solution. The disinfectant thus produced must be immediately fed into the system being treated since the disinfectant degrades rapidly. The disinfectant solution is generated outside the system being treated and then fed into the aqueous system for treatment. In previously described methods of production for treatment of liquids to control biological fouling, a significant problem occurred in that the active biocidal ingredient was unstable chemically and rapidly decomposed with a resulting fast drop in pH. This rapid deterioration of the biocidal ingredient resulted in a loss in efficacy. It was also observed that the pH of the active biocidal ingredient was never >8.0 due to the rapid decomposition of the biocidal component (referenced in US5976386).
SUMMARY
[0013] The current invention describes the following key aspects:
1. An apparatus to properly prepare a stable oxidizing biocide.
2. An apparatus, which is able to produce an oxidizing biocide either as remote production or in situ production.
3. A method for producing a stable oxidizing biocide without the need to dilute the reaction components prior to combination.
4. The stable oxidizing biocide produced is chloramine.
