Algae growth is a natural biological process wherever water, nutrients, warmth, and sunlight are present. In an uncontrolled industrial water system, however, algae can become far more than an unsightly green layer. It can obstruct water flow, encourage microbiological growth, reduce heat-transfer efficiency, accelerate corrosion, increase chemical consumption, and contribute to costly equipment downtime.

These risks make effective algae management an important part of industrial water treatment.

Algaecides are specialised chemical treatments developed to prevent, suppress, or eliminate algae in water systems. When selected and applied as part of a professionally managed treatment programme, they help maintain cleaner water, protect valuable equipment, and support safe, efficient operations.

Bonchem develops tailored industrial water treatment programmes based on the conditions within each system. Rather than treating visible algae as an isolated problem, we assess the wider operating environment, including water chemistry, nutrient levels, system design, temperature, flow rate, microbiological activity, and the materials used in the installation.

This integrated approach allows us to implement effective algaecide solutions while addressing the conditions that may be encouraging algae and biofilm development.

Whether algae are affecting a cooling tower, process-water circuit, storage tank, wastewater treatment facility, power generation plant, or food and beverage operation, early intervention can prevent a minor water-quality issue from developing into an expensive operational problem.

What Are Algaecides?

Algaecides are chemical agents formulated to kill algae, inhibit their growth, or prevent them from reproducing within a water system. Different formulations work in different ways, which may include disrupting cellular processes, damaging cell membranes, oxidising organic material, or preventing organisms from attaching to submerged surfaces.

Algae are a broad group of photosynthetic organisms. Some are microscopic and remain suspended in the water, while others form visible mats, slime layers, or filamentous growth. Their colour may vary from green and blue-green to brown, yellow, or reddish tones, depending on the species and environmental conditions.

Although algae themselves are often the most visible sign of contamination, they rarely exist alone. Algal growth may form part of a larger microbiological community consisting of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, organic debris, and mineral deposits.

Together, these organisms and materials can form biofilm.

A suitable industrial algaecide programme may therefore need to do more than remove visible algae. It should also help control microbial activity, limit biofilm development, improve water clarity, and support the performance of other water treatment chemicals.

Why Algae Develop in Industrial Water Systems

Algae require several basic conditions to grow. These include:

• Water
• Light
• Nutrients
• Suitable temperatures
• Sufficient time to reproduce
• Surfaces on which organisms can attach

Many open or partially exposed industrial water systems provide these conditions.

Cooling towers, open ponds, clarifiers, reservoirs, storage tanks, channels, and wastewater treatment systems may receive significant sunlight. Nutrients can enter through raw water, airborne contamination, process leaks, organic matter, dust, soil, and inefficient filtration.

Warm temperatures may further accelerate biological activity, particularly in systems that continuously circulate heated water.

Low-flow zones and stagnant sections also create favourable conditions. Where water does not move consistently, algae and other microorganisms have more time to settle, attach, and form established colonies.

Poor housekeeping may contribute to the problem. Accumulated sludge, sediment, dead leaves, process residues, and suspended solids can provide both nutrients and protected areas in which microorganisms can grow.

For this reason, chemical treatment should form part of a broader algae-control strategy. Cleaning, filtration, circulation, monitoring, and preventative maintenance remain important elements of a successful programme.

Why Algae Control Matters in Industrial Water Treatment

Unchecked algae growth can affect nearly every aspect of an industrial water system. A small amount of contamination may appear manageable at first, but established growth can spread rapidly when operating conditions remain favourable.

Common consequences include:

• Reduced water-flow rates
• Blocked strainers, screens, filters, pipes, and nozzles
• Sludge and slime accumulation
• Poor heat-transfer performance
• Increased pumping requirements
• Greater energy consumption
• Microbiologically influenced corrosion
• Unpleasant colours and odours
• Reduced water clarity
• Higher cleaning and maintenance costs
• Increased chemical demand
• Product contamination risks
• Unplanned shutdowns
• Shortened equipment lifespan

An effective algaecide treatment programme helps businesses manage these risks proactively. Instead of waiting for a major bloom or blockage to occur, operators can monitor biological activity and treat the system before performance deteriorates.

This preventative approach is generally more efficient than repeatedly responding to severe contamination.

The Relationship Between Algae and Biofouling

Biofouling occurs when microorganisms attach to surfaces and develop into a structured biological layer. This layer may contain algae, bacteria, fungi, organic matter, suspended solids, corrosion products, and mineral deposits.

Once established, biofilm can be difficult to remove.

The outer layer may protect organisms beneath it from water flow and chemical treatment. Biofilm may also trap nutrients and particles, creating an increasingly favourable environment for continued microbiological growth.

Algae can contribute to biofouling by producing organic material and extracellular substances that help microorganisms adhere to surfaces. When algae die, their decomposing cells may create an additional food source for bacteria.

This means that killing suspended algae without addressing deposits and biofilm may not resolve the full problem. Dead biological material can settle within the system, increase organic loading, and contribute to further contamination.

A comprehensive treatment strategy may therefore combine:

• Appropriate algaecides
• Oxidising or non-oxidising biocides
• Biodispersants
• Filtration
• Physical cleaning
• Sludge removal
• Improved circulation
• Water chemistry management
• Routine microbiological monitoring

Bonchem considers these factors when developing a treatment programme. Our aim is not simply to change the appearance of the water, but to help restore and maintain dependable system performance.

Where Biofouling Commonly Occurs

Algae and biofilm may develop in any area where water, nutrients, suitable temperatures, and sufficient retention time are present. Common problem areas include:

• Cooling tower basins
• Distribution decks
• Fill material
• Spray nozzles
• Heat exchangers
• Condensers
• Water storage tanks
• Open reservoirs
• Process-water circuits
• Evaporators
• Clarifiers
• Wastewater channels
• Filtration systems
• Low-flow pipework
• Dead legs
• Screens and strainers

Some of these areas may be difficult to inspect during normal operation. Water can therefore appear relatively clear while contamination develops on concealed surfaces.

Routine inspection and trend monitoring are essential. Changes in pressure, flow rate, temperature approach, energy consumption, chemical demand, or microbiological test results may provide an early warning of fouling.

How Algaecides Help Prevent Biofouling

The precise action of an algaecide depends on its chemistry. A correctly selected product may help by:

• Destroying suspended algal cells
• Inhibiting algal reproduction
• Damaging cell membranes
• Disrupting metabolic processes
• Preventing surface attachment
• Supporting the breakdown of slime layers
• Reducing the organic material available to other microorganisms
• Limiting the development of established algal colonies

When algaecides are integrated with the appropriate supporting treatment, facilities may experience:

• Cleaner heat-transfer surfaces
• Improved water circulation
• Reduced blockage risk
• More stable operating temperatures
• Lower microbiological activity
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• More reliable production
• Improved equipment protection

However, algaecide selection and dosing should never be based on guesswork. Overdosing may increase costs, create discharge concerns, or affect sensitive processes. Underdosing may fail to control growth and can allow more resistant microbial populations to become established.

Professional assessment is therefore essential.

Algaecides in Cooling Water Systems

Open recirculating cooling systems are particularly vulnerable to algae. Cooling towers continuously expose water to air, sunlight, dust, and airborne contaminants. Warm water and constant circulation can further support biological growth.

Algae may develop in tower basins, on distribution decks, along exposed pipework, and within areas where water movement is limited. Over time, biological deposits can obstruct nozzles, coat fill material, restrict airflow, and interfere with heat rejection.

This can lead to:

• Higher cooling-water temperatures
• Reduced heat-exchanger efficiency
• Increased fan and pump energy consumption
• Uneven water distribution
• Higher blowdown requirements
• Increased corrosion risk
• More frequent cleaning
• Production interruptions

Algaecides form an important part of cooling water treatment, but they must be compatible with the broader chemical programme. Corrosion inhibitors, scale-control products, dispersants, oxidising biocides, and non-oxidising biocides all need to function together.

Bonchem evaluates the system as a whole before recommending a chemical treatment strategy. This helps ensure that algae control does not undermine corrosion protection, scaling control, process safety, or environmental requirements.

Supporting Reliable Power Plant Operations

Power generation facilities depend on efficient water and cooling systems to maintain reliable production. Even a relatively thin layer of biological fouling can act as an insulating barrier on heat-transfer surfaces.

When heat exchange becomes less efficient, the plant may require more energy to maintain operating conditions. Cooling capacity may decline, condenser performance may deteriorate, and critical equipment may run at higher temperatures.

Potential consequences include:

• Restricted cooling-water flow
• Fouled condensers and heat exchangers
• Blocked intake screens
• Increased pumping energy
• Lower thermal efficiency
• Higher maintenance requirements
• Reduced generating capacity
• Greater risk of forced outages

A properly managed algaecide programme can help control growth before thick mats or biofilms develop. Maintaining cleaner water-contact surfaces supports heat-transfer efficiency and helps protect high-value infrastructure.

Improved water-system efficiency can also contribute to better overall resource use. When pumps, fans, heat exchangers, and cooling systems operate efficiently, unnecessary energy consumption may be reduced.

Algaecides in Manufacturing and Process Water

Manufacturing facilities use water for cooling, washing, rinsing, processing, transporting materials, controlling temperature, and supporting utility systems.

The effect of algae depends on the process. In one facility, algae may block spray nozzles or foul cooling circuits. In another, it may discolour water, contaminate surfaces, interfere with filtration, or affect finished-product quality.

Industries that may require industrial algae control include:

• Chemical manufacturing
• Pulp and paper production
• Steel and metal processing
• Automotive manufacturing
• Plastics production
• Textile operations
• Mining and mineral processing
• Pharmaceutical production
• General engineering
• Commercial and institutional facilities

Because each process has different quality and safety requirements, an algaecide that is suitable for one installation may not be appropriate for another.

Bonchem assesses the intended water use, system materials, operating temperature, retention time, discharge conditions, and potential product contact before recommending a treatment.

Maintaining Hygiene in Food and Beverage Facilities

Water quality is especially important in food and beverage manufacturing. Water may be used as an ingredient, a cooling medium, a cleaning agent, a transport medium, or part of a utility system.

Algae can create hygiene concerns in exposed storage tanks, cooling systems, raw-water facilities, and other water-handling infrastructure. Biological deposits may also harbour additional microorganisms, making cleaning more difficult.

Potential risks include:

• Unpleasant tastes, colours, or odours
• Fouled storage and distribution systems
• Increased microbiological activity
• Reduced cleaning effectiveness
• Process contamination
• Product spoilage
• Increased waste
• Failure to meet internal quality requirements
• Reputational damage

Any algaecide used around food and beverage operations must be carefully selected for its intended application. Products should not automatically be assumed suitable for direct food-contact water or ingredient water.

The treatment method, dose, contact time, residual level, rinse requirements, and applicable food-safety controls must all be considered.

Our team can help facilities distinguish between utility-water treatment and water that may come into direct or indirect contact with products. This allows algae-control measures to be integrated into the site’s broader hygiene and water-management programme.

Algae Management in Aquaculture

Aquaculture water quality can be complex. Some algae may play a beneficial role within certain systems, while excessive or harmful blooms can create serious risks.

Dense algal growth may cause:

• Large fluctuations in dissolved oxygen
• Reduced water clarity
• Changes in pH
• Gill irritation
• Increased organic loading
• Toxin production by certain species
• Stress among aquatic organisms
• Reduced feeding efficiency
• Higher disease risk
• Increased mortality

When algae die in large quantities, bacterial decomposition may consume dissolved oxygen. This can create dangerous conditions, particularly during the night or following a sudden bloom collapse.

Algaecide use in aquaculture therefore requires considerable care. Fish, shellfish, beneficial microorganisms, plants, and biological filtration systems may be sensitive to certain chemical treatments.

No product should be introduced into an aquaculture environment without confirming its suitability for the species, system, water conditions, dose, and regulatory context.

Where an appropriate treatment is permitted, professional management may help control harmful growth while limiting unnecessary stress on stock. Non-chemical methods such as nutrient control, aeration, filtration, shading, circulation, and solids removal may also form part of the overall strategy.

Algae Control in Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater treatment facilities may experience algae growth in clarifiers, lagoons, channels, holding ponds, reuse-water systems, and other exposed areas.

In some lagoons, algae may be part of the biological treatment process. In other areas, uncontrolled growth can interfere with plant operation, increase suspended solids, obstruct equipment, and affect the quality of treated water.

Potential problems include:

• Blocked screens and channels
• Sludge accumulation
• Variable dissolved oxygen levels
• Changes in effluent pH
• Increased suspended solids
• Poor settling performance
• Fouled reuse-water infrastructure
• Reduced disinfection effectiveness
• Difficulty meeting discharge requirements

Treatment should be based on the function of the wastewater system. Eliminating algae indiscriminately could disrupt a biological process or create a sudden increase in organic loading.

Bonchem evaluates the plant’s treatment objectives before recommending a solution. Where chemical control is appropriate, dosing can be coordinated with monitoring, solids management, aeration, and other operational measures.

Common Types of Industrial Algaecides

Industrial algaecides can be grouped into several broad categories. The most appropriate option depends on the water system, target organisms, required speed of control, chemical compatibility, and discharge conditions.

Oxidising Algaecides and Biocides

Oxidising products destroy biological material through chemical oxidation. Common examples used in industrial water treatment may include chlorine-based, bromine-based, or other oxidising chemistries.

Potential advantages include:

• Rapid action
• Broad-spectrum microbial control
• Effective treatment of heavily contaminated systems
• Suitability for continuous or intermittent dosing

Their performance can be affected by pH, temperature, organic loading, ammonia, suspended solids, and other water contaminants. Oxidising products may also react with corrosion inhibitors, process chemicals, or system materials.

Residual levels therefore need to be monitored carefully.

Non-Oxidising Algaecides

Non-oxidising products act through mechanisms other than oxidation. Depending on the active ingredient, they may disrupt cell membranes, interfere with enzymes, prevent reproduction, or inhibit metabolic activity.

Potential benefits include:

• Targeted action
• Performance under conditions where oxidisers are less effective
• Intermittent shock-dosing options
• Compatibility with selected industrial systems
• Support for rotational microbial-control programmes

Examples may include certain quaternary ammonium compounds, polymeric products, and other specialised biocides. Suitability depends on the application, and some chemistries may be affected by water hardness, anionic contaminants, high organic loads, or system materials.

Surface-Active and Dispersing Treatments

Surface-active products and biodispersants help penetrate or loosen biological deposits. They may improve contact between the active treatment and organisms protected within slime layers.

These products can be particularly valuable where established biofilm is present.

However, dislodging a large quantity of deposit can temporarily increase suspended solids and place additional demand on filters and strainers. Cleaning, flushing, and solids removal may therefore be required as part of the treatment procedure.

Combined Treatment Programmes

In many industrial systems, the most effective programme uses more than one treatment method.

A programme might include:

• A continuously dosed oxidising biocide
• A periodically applied non-oxidising algaecide
• A biodispersant
• Side-stream filtration
• Scheduled cleaning
• Corrosion and scale-control chemicals
• Routine microbiological testing

Rotating compatible active chemistries may also help maintain broad control where diverse microbial populations are present.

How Bonchem Selects an Algaecide Programme

Choosing an algaecide requires more than identifying green water. Before designing a treatment programme, we may consider:

• The type and severity of algal growth
• Water source and quality
• System pH
• Water temperature
• Conductivity and dissolved solids
• Organic contamination
• Nutrient levels
• System volume
• Flow and circulation patterns
• Areas of stagnation
• Sunlight exposure
• Existing chemical treatments
• Equipment materials
• Filtration capacity
• Blowdown or discharge requirements
• Product-contact risks
• Operational schedules
• Applicable safety requirements

Where necessary, water samples and deposits can be assessed to obtain a clearer understanding of the contamination.

The treatment method may then be tailored to the system. This could involve continuous dosing, intermittent shock treatment, a clean-up programme, or preventative maintenance dosing.

We also assess how the treatment will be introduced. Correct dosing equipment, injection-point placement, mixing, contact time, and monitoring can significantly influence performance.

Why Accurate Dosing Matters

More chemical does not automatically produce better results.

Excessive dosing can increase operating costs and may create compatibility, safety, corrosion, process, or discharge problems. Insufficient dosing may leave sections of the system untreated and allow contamination to recover quickly.

Accurate dosing helps maintain an effective concentration for the required contact period. Depending on the chemistry, operators may monitor factors such as:

• Chemical residual
• Oxidation-reduction potential
• Microbiological counts
• Visual growth
• Water clarity
• Slime formation
• Pressure changes
• Heat-transfer performance
• Filter loading
• Chemical consumption

Results should be interpreted together rather than relying on a single test. Clear water, for example, does not necessarily prove that surfaces are free from biofilm.

The Importance of Monitoring and Ongoing Optimisation

Industrial water systems are dynamic. Feedwater quality, production demands, temperature, rainfall, dust levels, nutrient loading, and operating schedules may all change over time.

A programme that performs well during winter may require adjustment during warmer months. A change in raw-water source or production chemistry may also affect algaecide demand.

Routine monitoring allows the treatment programme to respond to these changes.

Bonchem’s technical support may include:

• On-site system assessments
• Water sampling and analysis
• Chemical residual testing
• Review of dosing equipment
• Inspection of visible system areas
• Trend analysis
• Treatment optimisation
• Reporting and recommendations
• Staff guidance
• Troubleshooting support

This ongoing involvement helps identify problems before they cause major operational disruption.

Combining Chemical Treatment With Good System Management

Algaecides are valuable tools, but they are most effective when supported by sound operational practices.

Facilities can reduce algae risk by:

• Limiting unnecessary sunlight exposure
• Covering tanks where appropriate
• Removing sludge and sediment
• Maintaining effective filtration
• Eliminating stagnant sections
• Improving circulation
• Cleaning cooling tower basins
• Inspecting nozzles, screens, and strainers
• Preventing nutrient-rich process leaks
• Managing blowdown correctly
• Repairing damaged covers and access points
• Monitoring raw-water quality
• Maintaining accurate chemical dosing equipment

Where a system is heavily contaminated, mechanical cleaning may be required before a preventative chemical programme can succeed.

Applying an algaecide without removing thick deposits may kill surface organisms while leaving underlying contamination and trapped solids in place.

Benefits of a Professionally Managed Algaecide Programme

• Improved Operational Efficiency: Cleaner surfaces support better heat transfer, water movement, filtration, and cooling performance. Pumps, fans, and heat exchangers can operate closer to their intended design conditions.
• Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Preventing heavy fouling can reduce emergency cleaning, blocked filters, nozzle replacement, manual sludge removal, and unscheduled maintenance.
• Lower Risk of Downtime: Proactive algae control helps reduce the likelihood of blockages, overheating, loss of cooling capacity, and other failures that may interrupt production.
• Longer Equipment Life: Controlling algae and biofilm can help reduce conditions associated with under-deposit corrosion and microbiologically influenced corrosion.
• More Consistent Water Quality: A stable treatment programme supports clearer water, lower biological activity, and more predictable system performance.
• Better Chemical Efficiency: When deposits and microbial populations are controlled, corrosion inhibitors, scale-control products, and disinfectants may perform more effectively.
• Improved Resource Use: Efficient water systems can consume less energy and may require less frequent draining, flushing, and refilling.
• Stronger Product and Process Protection: In sensitive industries, consistent water quality helps protect products, processes, hygiene standards, and customer confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Algaecides

What are algaecides used for?

Algaecides are used to kill, suppress, or prevent algae in water systems. Industrial applications may include cooling towers, storage tanks, reservoirs, wastewater systems, process-water circuits, and other exposed water infrastructure.

Why is algae control important in industrial water treatment?

Algae can obstruct water flow, foul heat-transfer surfaces, encourage biofilm development, increase chemical demand, promote corrosion, and contribute to equipment failure. Controlling algae supports efficient and reliable operation.

Are algaecides the same as biocides?

An algaecide is designed specifically to control algae, while a biocide is a broader term for a chemical that controls harmful organisms. Some products may provide both algaecidal and broader microbiological control.

Are industrial algaecides safe?

They can be used safely when the correct product is selected, stored, handled, and dosed according to professional instructions and applicable safety documentation. Suitability depends on the system and the intended use of the treated water.

Can algaecides remove existing biofilm?

Some treatments can help disrupt algae and biological deposits, particularly when used with biodispersants. Thick or established biofilm may also require mechanical cleaning, flushing, and solids removal.

How frequently should an algaecide be applied?

The required frequency depends on the product, system volume, contamination level, temperature, nutrient loading, water quality, and operating conditions. Treatment may be continuous, intermittent, seasonal, or applied as a shock dose.

Can algaecides be used in cooling towers?

Yes. Algaecides are commonly incorporated into cooling water treatment programmes. The selected product must be compatible with the tower materials, corrosion inhibitors, scale-control products, and other biocides.

Can algaecides be used in aquaculture?

Only products specifically assessed and permitted for the relevant aquaculture application should be considered. Treatment must account for the sensitivity of fish, shellfish, beneficial microorganisms, and biological filtration systems.

Will algaecides prevent corrosion?

Algaecides are not normally corrosion inhibitors. However, controlling algae and biofilm can reduce conditions that contribute to under-deposit or microbiologically influenced corrosion. A complete programme may include separate corrosion-control chemicals.

Why does algae return after treatment?

Recurring growth may indicate inadequate dosing, poor circulation, heavy nutrient loading, remaining biofilm, insufficient cleaning, excessive sunlight, or incompatible chemical treatment. The underlying operating conditions need to be investigated.

How can I tell whether an algaecide is working?

Performance can be assessed through visual inspections, microbiological testing, water clarity, chemical residuals, system pressure, filter loading, heat-transfer performance, and changes in deposit formation.

Can too much algaecide damage a water system?

Incorrect dosing may create safety, compatibility, corrosion, process, or discharge concerns. Algaecides should always be applied at a controlled dose based on the system conditions and product requirements.

Does clear water mean the algae problem has been solved?

Not necessarily. Water may appear clear while biofilm remains attached to pipework, heat exchangers, tanks, or other surfaces. A full assessment should consider both suspended organisms and surface deposits.
