Product Water Treatment
Biocide (DBNPA)
Fast-acting, non-oxidizing biocide designed for rapid knockdown of bacteria, algae, and slime-formers in cooling towers and industrial process water—supporting stable heat transfer, cleaner surfaces, and fewer microbiological upsets.
Typical supply: aqueous solution or solid (per inquiry)
Documentation: SDS / COA / TDS on request
Commercial: repeat procurement lanes available
Why DBNPA is frequently selected
DBNPA is a strong option when you need fast results without oxidizer-related corrosion concerns or process interference. It is commonly applied as a short-contact “slug” or shock treatment in recirculating systems.
- Rapid microbial kill and slime reduction
- Non-oxidizing mode of action (fits many inhibitor programs)
- Supports biofilm management and improved system cleanliness
Commercial overview
Atlas Global Trading Co. supports DBNPA procurement as a repeatable supply lane: defined documentation, packaging alignment, and shipment coordination suited for industrial maintenance programs and contract water treatment operations.
Supply lanes
Multiple origins and formats can be offered depending on target spec and delivery window.
Documentation
SDS / COA / Technical Data Sheet (TDS) can be issued per shipment and grade.
Note: Availability and lead times vary by grade, packaging, and export lane. We quote against your exact requirements.
Applications
DBNPA is typically applied where rapid control of bacteria, algae, and slime is needed—especially in recirculating water loops prone to biofilm formation and microbiologically influenced fouling.
- Cooling towers & evaporative condensers (shock/slug biocide programs)
- Industrial process water loops and rinse water systems
- Paper & pulp systems (slime control in wet-end circuits)
- Membrane systems (cleaning/biological control programs where compatible)
- General industrial microbial control where a non-oxidizing option is preferred
What DBNPA helps you reduce
Many plants use DBNPA to reduce biofouling-related downtime and stabilize performance between cleanings.
- Biofilm and slime layers that reduce heat transfer
- Microbial counts that drive odor, plugging, and under-deposit issues
- Variability in system cleanliness during seasonal load changes
How DBNPA works
DBNPA is a non-oxidizing biocide that acts quickly against microorganisms. It is commonly dosed as a short-contact treatment to achieve rapid knockdown. In aqueous environments it will gradually degrade, which can be beneficial when short persistence is preferred.
Fast kill
Often selected when immediate reduction of microbial activity is required—helping regain control after upsets and supporting cleaner surfaces.
Non-oxidizing profile
Useful in programs where oxidizers are constrained by corrosion concerns, process sensitivity, or compatibility requirements (case-dependent).
Program compatibility
Commonly paired with dispersants and inhibitor programs. Provide your current chemistry to confirm fit and dosing logic.
Practical performance depends on water chemistry, temperature, organic load, and contact time. Always validate with site trials and qualified water treatment guidance.
Typical specifications & supply formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. We confirm the exact specification on quotation and provide shipment documentation accordingly.
Chemical identity
DBNPA (2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide)
Supply formats
Aqueous solution (common for water treatment) or solid grade (per inquiry)
Typical assay
Offered against target active %/assay depending on grade and format (confirm on offer / COA)
Appearance
Grade-dependent (solution or solid); confirmed by COA
Packaging
Drums, IBC, bulk (as applicable). Packaging selection aligns to your handling and site dosing setup.
Documentation
SDS / COA standard. TDS and other documents available on request. Regulatory status varies by destination.
Storage & handling (summary)
Follow the SDS for your grade. In general, keep containers closed, store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, and avoid conditions that may accelerate decomposition. Use appropriate PPE and dosing equipment.
- Store away from heat and direct sunlight
- Use compatible materials and clean dosing lines
- Apply good chemical hygiene and spill control procedures
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection. The offer and COA are the controlling documents.
Typical dosing guidance (starting points)
The correct dose depends on system volume, microbial load, contact time, and water chemistry. Many operations apply DBNPA as a periodic slug/shock dose rather than continuous feed. Use the table below as a general starting reference only.
Common program patterns
These are broad ranges used across industry; site-specific optimization is required.
| System | Treatment style | Typical range* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling tower | Slug / shock | ~10–100 ppm | Frequency depends on counts & biofilm risk |
| Process water loop | Intermittent | ~5–50 ppm | Confirm compatibility with process constraints |
| High fouling upset | Corrective shock | ~50–200 ppm | Used when rapid regain of control is needed |
*Ranges are illustrative starting points only. Always validate dosing with a qualified water treatment program, site trials, and local discharge requirements.

FAQ
Quick answers to common procurement and technical questions.
Is DBNPA an oxidizing biocide?
No. DBNPA is generally categorized as a non-oxidizing biocide. It’s often used where rapid kill is needed without an oxidizer program (case-specific compatibility should be checked).
Do you supply solution or solid?
We can quote DBNPA in different supply formats depending on your application and logistics needs. Share your preferred format and target active %.
Can you provide SDS and COA?
Yes—SDS and COA are available on request, and can be provided per shipment/grade. TDS is also available upon request.
What affects dosing?
System volume, contact time, pH/temperature, organic load, and microbial population all matter. Many sites optimize via monitoring and trials.
What packaging is typical?
Drums, IBCs, and bulk options (as applicable). We align packaging to your unloading and day-tank/dosing setup.
Do you offer repeat supply?
Yes. If you have a recurring program, share monthly volume and destination so we can structure a repeat procurement lane.
