Industrial Cooling Tower Biofilm Monitor
A continuous, non-intrusive sensor system to monitor and quantify the growth of biofilm and scale inside industrial cooling towers.
🎯The Problem
Biofilm and scale buildup drastically reduce cooling efficiency, waste water, and risk Legionella outbreaks, but detection is currently manual/periodic.
💡The Solution
A sensor that uses ultrasound or localized conductivity change to estimate buildup in real-time, alerting facility managers to required chemical dosing or cleaning.
