Closed recirculating heating systems: pre-commission biocidal product flushing of new or existing pipework systems (heating and chilling pipework) includes used or new structural pipework built on industrial building projects. The biocidal product is used to control the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi and biofilm in the circulating water of closed systems. Closed systems are less susceptible to corrosion, scaling and biological fouling than open systems. However microbial problems can occur, if the system is left filled and untreated. This is due to the presence of nitrite and glycols used as nutrients by microbes.

4.12.1.    Use-specific instructions for use
Microbiological tests to prove adequacy of preservation have to be undertaken by the user of C(M)IT/MIT products in order to determine the effective dose of the preservative for the specific matrix/location/system. If needed, consult the manufacturer of the preservative product.
4.12.2.    Use-specific risk mitigation measures
—
Rinse the system (especially the dispensing pumps) with water prior to perform the cleaning step.
—
During handling phases (mixing and loading) and cleaning of the dispensing pumps, exposure to the product (corrosive and skin sensitizer product) has to be limited by use of PPE and application of technical and organisational RMM:
—
Minimisation of manual phases (process automation);
—
Use of a dosing device;
—
Regular cleaning of equipment and work area;
—
Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects;
—
Good standard of general ventilation;
—
Training and management of staff on good practice.
—
PPE is as follows:
—
protective chemical resistant gloves (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information);
—
protective coverall (at least type 3 or 4, EN 14605) which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information);
—
Eye protection;
—
Substance/task appropriate respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
—
The use of C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) containing products for the slimicide treatment in the wet-end stage of the paper manufacturing process is restricted to:
(a)
curative treatments in plants connected to a slimicide-free water from a pulp mill and only for the treatment of the short circulation of the paper mill; and
(b)
preventive treatments,
and, for both cases, only if the factory’s waste water is purified in an on-site (full) industrial sewage treatment plant with a minimal capacity of 5000 m 3 per day as described in the Industrial Emission Directive 2010/75/EU (Best Available Techniques for the production of pulp, paper and board) and if a dilution of at least 200 times in surface water is achieved after the industrial sewage treatment plant.

5.1.    Instructions for use
—
The duration of the effect is dependent on the performance requirements of the customer for their preserved material and on the specific ingredients composition and pH of the preserved product.
—
Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.
—
Respect the conditions of use of the product (concentration, contact time, temperature, pH, etc.)
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES DURING STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:
Keep in a well-ventilated place. The product as supplied may evolve gas (largely carbon dioxide) slowly. To prevent the buildup of pressure the product is packaged in specially vented containers, where necessary. Keep this product in the original container when not in use. Container must be stored and transported in an upright position to prevent spilling the contents through the vent, where fitted.
