Biofilm Monitoring
The prevention of biofouling and the associated cleaning processes in pipes and units is playing an increasingly important role in the shipping industry. Since biofouling in pipes carrying water is often linked to the formation of legionella, preventing biofouling is a top priority.
Monitoring biofouling helps to detect it in good time and initiate cleaning steps. Early detection of biofilm allows for targeted cleaning intervals, thus saving costs.
Amollo Water Technology is a distribution partner of the sensor manufacturer ALVIM whose probes can be used to detect biofilm at an early stage.
ALVIM biofilm sensors
Biological growth in the form of colonizing bacteria can quickly lead to the formation of deposits in pipes, tanks, machinery, etc. within a short time, if no countermeasures are taken. The ALVIM real-time online biofilm monitoring system can detect bacterial colonization at an early stage (up to 1% of the surface covered by microorganisms) and, based on this data, adjust and optimize cleaning / biocide treatments either manually or automatically. At the same time, the system allows for the verification of cleaning efficiency.
ALVIM biofilm sensors are already being used with highly satisfactory results in various industrial sectors, including large international companies (cooling water systems, industrial water treatment, desalination, food production, paper mills, etc.).

Your Benefits with ALVIM Technology
- Early Warning Detection of bacterial biofilm growth inside pipes, tanks, heat exchangers, RO membranes, etc.
- While general fouling sensors detect "generic deposits," the ALVIM probe specifically detects bacterial biofilm.
- Optimization of Cleaning Treatments (biocides, disinfectants, etc.)
- Easy Installation and Use
- Virtually Maintenance-Free Operation
- Continuous Biofilm Monitoring in Real Time
- High Sensitivity
- Modular, Scalable System
Why biofilm formation is a problem
2
Increase in Inorganic Deposits (Fouling) as bacteria produce sticky substances that promote the adhesion of other particles.
