Advanced BioCatalytics Receives NSF Certification.Water Additive Eliminates Biofilm Biofilm An adhesive substance, the glycocalyx, and the bacterial community which it envelops at the interface of a liquid and a surface. When a liquid is in contact with an inert surface, any bacteria within the liquid are attracted to the surface and adhere in Water Purification and Desalinization Treatment IRVINE, Calif. -- Advanced BioCatalytics Corporation (ABC ABC in full American Broadcasting Co. Major U.S. television network. It began when the expanding national radio network NBC split into the separate Red and Blue networks in 1928. ) has received NSF International Certification for the use of its product, Accell([R]), as a Drinking Water drinking water supply of water available to animals for drinking supplied via nipples, in troughs, dams, ponds and larger natural water sources; an insufficient supply leads to dehydration; it can be the source of infection, e.g. leptospirosis, salmonellosis, or of poisoning, e.g. Treatment Chemical. Accell([R]) has been tested and Certified by NSF NSF - National Science Foundation as meeting NSF/ANSI Standard 60. NSF Standard 60 Certification addresses the health effects of products in the water industry. ABC has patents issued covering the use of Accell([R]) to reduce and prevent biofilm fouling of cross flow membranes such as ultra, micro, and reverse osmosis reverse osmosis n. The movement of a solvent in the opposite direction from osmosis in such a manner that the solvent moves from a solution of greater concentration through a membrane to a solution of lesser concentration. filtration systems and membrane bio-reactors. These membranes are used in process water treatment, purification of drinking water and desalinization of salt water. Accell([R])'s benefits to the potable potable /pot·a·ble/ (po´tah-b'l) fit to drink. po·ta·ble adj. Fit to drink; drinkable. potable fit to drink. water treatment industry are: * Increases flux or flow-through and optimizes performance of membranes. * Extends the life of existing or new membranes by increasing time intervals between chemical cleaning, thereby reducing exposure to aggressive chemical cleaners. * Most importantly, Accell([R]) reduces high energy costs by minimizing back pressure caused by R.O. membrane biofouling bi·o·foul·ing n. The impairment or degradation of something, such as a ship's hull or mechanical equipment, as a result of the growth or activity of living organisms. . Energy to pump water through membranes is a major cost factor that must be dealt with in order for desalinization to become a significant source of freshwater supply in the U.S. and elsewhere.
