Is Your Water Treatment Outdated? Modern Ways to Prevent Biofilm & Bacteria

Biofilm is a community of bacteria and fungi embedded in a glue-like structure that adheres to the surfaces of pipes, forming a protective layer. Bacteria like Legionella and Staphylococcus, among others, grow in a slimy mould and are difficult to kill and remove. Biofilms can develop easily in water pipes, industrial cooling systems, and even rivers and streams. Any efficient water treatment system must address the problem of biofilm and bacteria and eliminate them.

If you still use traditional biofilm control methods, such as chlorine or natural anti-biofilm agents, and experience repeated bacterial contamination or water with an unpleasant odour or taste, it may indicate that your water treatment system is outdated. It can lead to poor water quality, health risks, pipe clogging, and expensive biofilm treatment afterwards. The best approach is to utilise our advanced water treatment system, including a UV-C LED water purifier and Puroxi Oxygen Booster, which will safeguard your crops against infestation and boost oxygen levels in the water, thereby promoting healthier crop growth and resilience.

Modern Water Treatment Methods

Modern Water Treatment Methods to Prevent Biofilm & Bacteria

Modern water treatment doesn’t rely on one single approach—it combines chemical, physical, and biological strategies to keep systems clean, safe, and efficient.

1. Advanced Antimicrobial Agents

Puroxi Oxygen Booster, with its unique design and features, is your solution for clean plumbing and protected metal water pipes. Our proprietary corrosion inhibitor ensures that your pipes are safeguarded against the oxidation process. Puroxi Oxygen Booster envelopes minerals, disallowing crystallization, a feature that sets it apart. This keeps hydration levels intact, increasing water retention and water intake. Water intake and retention are key to proper hydration.

2. Optimized Disinfection Techniques

UV Irradiation- Ultraviolet light inactivates bacteria, viruses, and protozoa by damaging their DNA, preventing them from reproducing. Modern UV-C LED systems, accompanied by Puroxi’s Oxygen Booster, provide chemical-free disinfection with no toxic byproducts and extremely low maintenance needs.

3. Hybrid Disinfection

Combining methods- such as UV with Puroxi Oxygen Booster—can significantly improve results. UV neutralizes microorganisms instantly, while residual Puroxi Oxygen Booster keeps biofilm from reforming in the network. Optimizing our booster dosages and contact times ensures higher efficiency without excessive chemical use.

4. Modifications to the Surface and Antifouling Coatings

Rough and untreated surfaces make it easy for biofilms to form and flourish. Recent advances in technology enable surfaces that come in contact with water to resist the adherence of microbes. Antifouling Coatings

Special configurations obstruct biofilm formation on pipelines and reservoirs. These are perfect for sensitive areas such as cooling towers, food processing units, and aquaculture systems.

5. Micro & Nano Surface Modifications

Changing the microscopic surface texture makes it more difficult for bacteria to cling to the surface. These are more in demand in high-purity water treatment systems.

6. Enzymatic Breakdown of Biofilms

The sticky biofilms made by bacteria are made of complex polysaccharides that can be broken down using specific enzymes. After biofilm is removed, bacteria can be exposed to disinfectants. Cleaning the system becomes easier and ensures thorough treatment for hidden microbes.

7. Quorum-sensing inhibitors (QSI)

Bacteria use chemical signals to communicate with each other and thus coordinate biofilm formation. These harmful bacteria can be prevented from forming biofilm by disrupting the chemical signals that facilitate it. This is similar to cutting off a group chat from where a mischievous plot can be hatched.

8. Nanoparticles for Biofilm Control

The antimicrobial properties of specific nanoparticles, for instance, silver or copper, can inhibit bacterial proliferation and prevent biofilm. These materials can be added to coatings, filters, or treatment solutions for protective biofilm control.

9. Biological Filtration

Biological filtration utilizes beneficial microorganisms to outcompete harmful bacteria. This strategy can be found in aquaculture and some municipal systems. It helps maintain balanced microbial populations, which in turn control pathogens.
