Probiotic industrial water treatment

Probiotic treatment for industrial and process water systems

We support industrial operators and water treatment partners in applying probiotic water treatment for process and cooling systems. HeiQ VivoTech uses beneficial microorganisms to break down organic deposits in water circuits. This biological process supports cleaner systems, improved water clarity, and reduced odor formation.

 

 

Key benefits

  • Probiotic water treatment based on biological breakdown of organic deposits
  • Supports reduction of sludge, odor formation, and organic buildup in water circuits
  • Helps keep pipes, filters, and heat exchange surfaces cleaner
  • Supports stable water system performance with reduced maintenance effort
  • Designed for continuous use in industrial water treatment programs

Applications

HeiQ offers solutions for water and industrial systems, supporting the control of organic deposits and performance loss.

  • Cooling towers

    For industrial cooling systems where organic deposits can reduce efficiency and increase maintenance.

  • Industrial process water systems

    For closed and open water circuits used in manufacturing and processing.

  • Wastewater and treatment basins

    For systems where organic pollution can lead to sludge formation and odor issues.

  • Water storage and circulation systems

    For tanks, pipes, and circulation loops requiring ongoing control of organic deposits.

    HeiQ VivoTech uses beneficial microorganisms that produce enzymes in water systems. These enzymes break down organic deposits into smaller, dissolved or colloidal particles. This biological cleaning process supports the gradual removal of sludge and organic buildup without relying on biocidal action.

    HeiQ Synbio cleaning MOA
    Probiotics continuously produce enzymes that break down organic dirt, which they then consume.

    In water treatment, probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that produce enzymes. These enzymes break down organic deposits in water systems, supporting cleaner circuits and improved system performance.

    Biocidal treatments act by killing microorganisms. Probiotic water treatment focuses on breaking down organic deposits that support unwanted buildup, using a biological process rather than biocidal action.

    Yes. HeiQ VivoTech probiotic water treatment products are designed for continuous use in industrial water systems where organic deposits need to be managed over time.

  • Webinar: Probiotics. Latest water treatment innovation.

    This webinar explains how synbiotics act as sustainable bio-filters in water systems to reduce sludge, odor, and maintenance costs.
    Learn how synbiotics (pre- & probiotics) act as highly effective, sustainable bio-filter in industrial and open water systems. Synbiotics are a game changer that helps prevent high maintenance cost caused by sludge and odor build-up.We are joined by experts in the field of water treatment who answer detailed questions about the technology and its practical application during the Q&A part of the webinar.
