Indeed, 90% of microorganisms live in biofilm, not free in the liquid. • When biofilm is mature parts of it can detach, cross-contaminating other points of the piping system. • Biofilm causes many different issues: • A 20-micron thick biofilm reduces thermal efficiency by 30% and more. • Biofilm causes MIC (Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion). • Biofilm is the ideal environment for the survival and proliferation of pathogens.
