Description
BC-RO / AT-2591 is a broad spectrum non-oxidising biocide solution based on DBNPA for use in a range of applications such as cooling water, pulp and paper processing, metalworking fluids and the treatment of RO membranes. It is particularly rapid in its action and has an excellent environmental profile because it degrades quickly and naturally.
BC-RO / AT-2591 will rapidly kill a wide range of bacteria including Legionella bacteria. At 100 ppm Legionella is killed in 2 hours.
BC-RO / AT-2591 delivers a synergistic performance with halogen.
BC-RO / AT-2591 also exhibits rapid breakdown (hydrolysis) to low toxicity end products. The rate of breakdown increases with temperature and pH.
Product Benefits
- Fast acting, effective DBNPA based biocide.
- Breaks down to low toxicity end products.
- Suitable for a range of applications.
- Effective against legionella
- A good secondary biocide for systems treated with halogen.

Application & Dosage Information
BC-RO / AT-2591 can be dosed by hand or through automatic dosing equipment.
Dosage Rates
Cooling water treatment
BC-RO / AT-2591 should be dosed intermittently at a rate of 50 – 200ml/m3 of system volume. The required frequency and exact dosage will be dependent on the microbial fouling of the system.
BC-RO / AT-2591 would normally be used at part of a total cooling treatment package incorporating another non-oxidising biocides and inhibitor to control scale and corrosion.
RO Treatment
Off-line CIP Addition
A dosage to achieve of 50 – 200ml/m3 should be added based on the combined volume of the CIP tank and the membrane housings diluted with RO Permeate.
On-line Shock Treatment
Dose to the feedwater to the RO plant at a rate of 10 – 50ml/m3 for a period of at least 1 hour and repeated as required to restore performance and maintain the membranes.
NB Where bisulphite is used to remove chlorine upstream of the RO the dosage should be suspended for 15 minutes prior to starting the on-line treatment
Testing – A DBNPA test kit is available in various formats from Accepta.
It is always advisable to carry out a ‘Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health’ (COSHH) assessment before use
