Water parks face complex water quality management demands due to their unique operational dynamics. The direct human contact inherent to these environments introduces organic contaminants such as sweat, oils, cosmetics, and pathogens at significantly higher rates than conventional aquatic facilities. This creates a dense biological loading that challenges traditional chemical treatment systems, which rely on reactive oxidants like chlorine to maintain microbial balance. However, these chemicals interact with organic matter to form harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs), including chloramines and trihalomethanes, which pose health risks and contribute to airborne irritants.
Root Cause:
Conventional systems also struggle with oxygen depletion in water columns, as organic overload accelerates microbial respiration, creating anaerobic zones that foster biofilm formation. The resulting slime layers shield pathogens from disinfectants while corroding infrastructure through acidification and mineral scaling. Additionally, frequent blowdowns to control Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) lead to unsustainable water and energy losses
- High Biological Loads: Direct human contact introduces pathogens, sweat, and oils, necessitating aggressive chemical dosing.
- Chemical Dependency: Chlorine and other disinfectants can form harmful byproducts (e.g., chloramines) and require precise monitoring to avoid health hazards.
- Infrastructure Stress: Corrosion from chlorine and acid use shortens equipment lifespan and increases maintenance costs.
- Water and Energy Waste: Frequent blowdowns to manage Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) lead to significant water loss and energy-intensive reheating.
- Odor and Biofilm Buildup: Low dissolved oxygen levels promote anaerobic bacteria, causing foul odors and slime layers that harbor pathogens.
Solutions:
BOC’s proprietary bio-catalytic formulations leverage amphiphilic molecules derived from plant-mineral fermentation supernatants, engineered to optimize oxygen transfer and organic breakdown. When introduced to water, these compositions generate ultra-fine Nano bubbles that enhance gas-liquid interface efficiency, achieving oxygen transfer rates higher than conventional aeration. This oxygen-rich environment accelerates aerobic biodegradation of fats, oils, and proteins while suppressing anaerobic activity:
- Chemical Reduction: BOC’s enzymatic action breaks down organic waste, slime, and mineralization, reducing chlorine demand by up to 50% and eliminating harmful byproducts.
- Water Conservation: By stabilizing dissolved oxygen levels and preventing TDS accumulation, BOC minimizes blowdown frequency, saving thousands of gallons annually.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduced blowdowns lower reheating needs, cutting energy consumption for temperature maintenance.
- Odor Elimination: Microbubble oxygen transfer oxidizes noxious gases (e.g., H₂S) and organic matter, eliminating odors at their source.
- Infrastructure Protection: Non-corrosive formulation prevents scale and biofilm buildup, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance.
- Enhanced Safety: BOC’s non-toxic, bio-aquatic-safe composition ensures visitor safety while meeting stringent water quality standards.
