What’s inside:
The following are guidelines for execution of biocide performance studies (or ‘kill studies’) on industrial process samples — such as oilfield process waters, pulp and paper process waters, metalworking samples, fuels and fuel-associated waters.
These guidelines have been generated to leverage the unique features of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) monitoring test kits from LuminUltra Technologies Ltd. which include provisions to minimize interferences from various sources including suspended particles, organic molecules, heavy metals, dissolved solids, residual biocides and extra-cellular ATP.
In addition to monitoring tools such as culture-based tests that are traditionally used to evaluate biocide performance, the information provided by ATP test kits offer potentially beneficial features such as a more encompassing estimation of microbial inhibition, information on the metabolic state of microorganisms, and most importantly a shorter timeframe to obtain results.
