Manufacturers, Exporters and Suppliers of INNOVA BCD 501 – MBT Based Biocide for Corrosion Prevention & Microbial Control in Water Systems in Ahmedabad

MBT-based biocides (Methylene bis-thiocyanate, often abbreviated as MBT or MTC) are offered by Innova Corporate as a non-oxidizing, broad-spectrum biocide for Ahmedabad's anaerobic environments and closed systems. MBT is particularly effective against sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), slime-forming organisms, and some fungi. It is widely used in closed-loop cooling systems, firewater storage tanks, oilfield water injection (for nearby oilfields like Mehsana), and metalworking fluid sumps. For Ahmedabad's industrial facilities, MBT offers the advantage of sustained activity (half-life 5-10 days) and thermal stability up to 60°C – important for systems that experience high temperatures. Unlike glutaraldehyde, MBT has minimal odor and low volatility, making it suitable for indoor applications such as closed-loop chillers located inside manufacturing buildings. For dairy and food processing plants (Ahmedabad has many), MBT is used in pasteurizer cooling water (indirect contact) at 10-25 ppm to prevent biofilms in the cooling circuit. It shows synergy with isothiazolines and DBNPA and can be used in rotation programs. However, MBT is not compatible with oxidizing biocides (chlorine, bromine, chlorine dioxide) and may be deactivated by reducing agents (sulfite, bisulfite). For severe SRB problems that manifest as hydrogen sulfide odor (rotten eggs) and blackened water in Ahmedabad's cooling loops or firewater tanks, we recommend a shock dose of 100-200 ppm MBT for 24-48 hours. This will penetrate slime layers and eliminate SRB colonies deep in pipelines and dead legs. The product has limited algae control – for cooling towers exposed to sunlight, combine with a tertiary algicide (e.g., quaternary ammonium compound). MBT is available as a 20-30% active liquid (diluted in organic solvents or surfactants) and as a solid (98-99% active) for slow-release applications. Storage: MBT may crystallize below 10°C – in Ahmedabad's brief "winter" (Dec-Jan, night temperatures occasionally 8-12°C), we recommend storing drums in a temperature-controlled area or using formulations with anti-crystallization additives. Available in 25L and 200L drums (liquid) and 20kg bags (solid). We provide on-site SRB testing using API RP 38 culture bottles to confirm treatment effectiveness. Shelf life: 12 months (liquid), 24 months (solid).
