Applications
Where to Use AMSA Products
Discover the Learning Center
Expert Resources from Industry Leaders.
AMSA’s learning center offers a wealth of information. With in-depth technical articles, insights on BCP® products and case studies you will better understand how biofilm impacts cooling water systems and how AMSA BCP® products are a key element of an effective biofilm control program. You can even run scenario treatment programs with AMSA BCP® products and your biocide program to estimate the costs for a variety of Biofilm Control Program options.
Problem & Solution
Biofilm Is Core To Many Heat Transfer And Corrosion Issues

Microbially influenced corrosion is a special, difficult to control, form of cooling water system fouling. Maintaining an effective Biofilm Control Program is key to industrial water treatment.
Surfaces Free of Biofilm
- Are less susceptible to microbially induced corrosion (MIC).
- Are more accessible to corrosion and scale inhibitors.
- Are less likely to harbor pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila.
- Provide more efficient heat transfer on exchanger surfaces.
