This paper discusses the microbiology of power washers in detail, specifically addressing what types of organisms are found in power wash systems and their adverse effect on the process. In addition, identification techniques are discussed for the purpose of monitoring and quantifying the microbiological growth within the wash systems. This paper will explore various mechanical and chemical control programs and their applications in a power wash system. The treatment programs will be designed with careful consideration of process parameters, health and safety issues, and specific plant needs. To summarize the methods discussed regarding the entire microbial control process, a practical application is outlined using a real case history of a manufacturer who had a power wash system that was microbiologically out of control. This case history discusses the step by step methods used to ident
