AMSA - Model BCP 5000 Series - Geothermal Cooling Systems
BCP™ 5000 Series Products (containing DTEA II™) remove pre-existing hard sulfur deposits and prevent elemental sulfur deposits in geothermal power plant cooling water systems. BCP™ 5000 Series Products (containing DTEA II™) penetrate, disperse and clean sulfur deposits in geothermal power plant cooling water systems as an 'on-line' cleaning program. When used in a regular maintenance dosing mode, BCP™ 5000 prevents sulfur deposit formation. See Applications - Geothermal for more information of how BCP™ 5000 series chemistry works in geothermal power plants.

BCP 5030 is a multi-purpose chemical with several key uses.
In geothermal power plant cooling systems which experience sulfur fouling, online BCP 5030 treatments destabilize and disperse existing sulfur deposits, resulting in their removal from critical equipment surfaces. Once a system has been cleaned with BCP 5030, continued maintenance treatments will prevent the formation of new sulfur deposits.
BCP 5030 is also a powerful organic deposit cleaner, penetrant, and dispersant, and is widely used with oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides in industrial water systems to provide a superior Biofilm Control Program.
BCP 5030 is an effective yellow metal corrosion inhibitor.

Features
- Penetrates and removes inorganic sulfur deposits from condenser and cooling water system surfaces
- Not affected hydrogen sulfide, ammonia or other strong nucleophiles
- Not affected by high pH; works best for sulfur removal at and above pH 8.0
- Penetrates, disperses and removes organic deposits from cooling water system surfaces
- Increases biocide effectiveness, reducing biocide use levels and subsequent costs
- Biodegradable; persistent in closed systems, with a friendly degradation profile in open systems, making this an ideal choice for difficult to manage waste streams
- Excellent compatibility with standard cooling water treatment programs
- Reduces corrosion by direct chemical inhibition, and by keeping metal surfaces free of deposits
- Excellent freeze-thaw properties; no product separation if freezing does occur
NOTE: BCP™ 5030 does not dissolve existing sulfur deposits. BCP™ 5030 causes disaggregation of the deposits, producing particulate solids ranging in size from small particles to large pieces several centimeters in length and width. Large deposit pieces may accumulate in the system following cleaning, and may need to be flushed from the system. Using BCP™ 5030 in maintenance mode to prevent such deposition in the first place is the best use of BCP™ 5030.
Application Modes and Dosing Levels
BCP™ 5030 may be used in two modes, cleanup dosing in a fouled system and maintenance dosing in a clean system.
BCP™ 5030 may be added directly to the geothermal cooling water system, or co-fed with water at a point of good agitation to insure proper dispersal in the system. Typical cleanup dosage is 50 - 200 ppm (1/2 to 2 gallons of BCP™ 5030 per 10,000 gallons system volume). Maintenance dosing levels and frequencies depend on system conditions.
Environmental Benefits
- Low persistence in the environment (discharge permit benefit)
- This product is expected to be rapidly biodegradable based on similar products performance (permit discharge benefit)
Regulatory
BCP 5030 is biodegradable (OECD guidelines and aquatic use profile is in keeping with modern day expectations of water treatment chemicals for ecological friendliness. For comparison purposes, BCP 5030 is 6X to 60X safer* in aquatic toxicity testing than the chemical called ADBAC (a quat biocide)). Note: BCP 5030 is not a quat. Therefore, the negative aspects of quats do not apply.
*The aquatic toxicity profile is provided for general comparative purposes only and does not imply, warrant, or state to use it in any manner not in keeping with local regulations.
Handling Considerations
Please refer to SDS (formerly called MSDS) before handling this product. BCP™ products require handling that conforms to typical procedures required of strong industrial strength cleaners, detergents, and soaps.
