Biofilm & Scaling Monitoring
Biofilm and scale are invisible threats until they become costly – blocking heat transfer, reducing flow, and harbouring microbes. Lagotec’s DEPOSENS® sensor systems offer early detection of both biofilm and scale, enabling precise, proactive water treatment decisions.
HydroGreen integrates these advanced sensors into your water system monitoring programme – providing quantitative insight into when and where deposits form, so you can act before systems are compromised.
How DEPOSENS® Works
- Sensors are clamped externally to pipes, tanks, or bypass lines – causing no flow disruption or system modification
- They measure changes in heat transfer, which correlate directly to deposit thickness
- The system reports quantitative deposit data to a controller (DEPOSENS® controller or modular system) for on-site visualisation or remote monitoring
- The DEPOSENS® compact unit measures both biofilm and scale simultaneously – ideal for panel or bypass installation
What It Solves
- Biofilm formation inside pipes and tanks
- Mineral scaling and sediment build-up
- Energy loss due to deposits
- Hidden fouling not detected by standard water analysis
Key Benefits
- Continuous, real-time monitoring – no manual sampling needed
- Measures both biofilm and scale, separately or simultaneously
- Non-invasive installation, safe for any piping or tank layout
- Ideal for cooling water systems, heat exchangers, RO/UF installations, or research environments
- Enables data-driven dosing and system optimisation – reducing chemical dependency and maintenance
Best for:
- Recirculating cooling circuits in power, petrochemical, and industrial facilities
- RO and ultrafiltration feed and concentrate lines
- Pilot plants or R&D setups monitoring fouling development
- Industrial tanks or pipelines requiring early warning of deposit build-up
