    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a biofilm, removing a formed biofilm and/or controlling a growth of microorganisms, preferably bacteria, in an aqueous environment of an industrial manufacturing process including a cellulosic fibre material. A compound according to Formula I is administered to the aqueous environment, in which Formula I R1, R2 and R3 independently represent a hydrogen atom; halogen atom; hydroxy group; amino group; alkylamino group, alkyl group, hydroxyalkyl group, haloalkyl group or alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or an acylamido group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and A represents 2-thiazolamine;
    2-propenenitrile; 2-propenoic acid; alkyl ester or hydroxyalkyl ester of 2-propenoic acid having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or —CHCHCONR5R6 group, where R5 and R6 represent independently hydrogen atom, alkyl or hydroxyalkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the compound according to Formula I is not 3-[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]-2-propenenitrile or 4-amino-N-2-thiazolyl-benzene-sulphonamide.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for quantitative monitoring of bacterial endospores in an aqueous environment of a paper or board mill. The method comprises at least the following steps: obtaining at least a first aqueous sample originating from the industrial aqueous environment; destroying bacteria in vegetative form in the first sample by a suitable treatment, preferably by heating the first sample to a desired temperature; adding intercalating agent (such as PMA) to the treated first sample and allowing it to interact (e.g. by cross-linking) with the destroyed bacteria, so that the nucleic acid from the destroyed bacteria are unavailable for PCR; and determining the endospore level in the first sample by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in which only the DNA from the endospores is available for amplification.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preventing microbial growth on a filtration membrane during desalination process. The method comprises that the membrane is exposed to a low concentration of performic acid by continuously or intermittently introducing performic acid to the membrane surface. When performic acid is added according to the present invention to the water flow, there is no significant reduction in the water flux through the membrane.

    Abstract: A method to determine vapor phase corrosion load in paper and board manufacturing system is disclosed. The method allows optimizing oxidative biocide content in aqueous solutions, suspensions and slurries in the paper and board manufacturing system. The method is based on determination of redox values (rH) of the system during determined time period. A correlation between rH values exceeding a predetermined rH threshold values and corrosion load provides an estimate of increased or decreased corrosion load and allows timely changes to biocide dosage.

    Abstract: A method includes forming an aqueous fibre suspension including cellulosic fibres from one or more raw material flows, and applying at least one chemical and/or physical control measure to the aqueous fibre suspension or at least one of its raw material flows for control of microbial activity in the aqueous fibre suspension or the raw material flow before an inlet of an intermediate residence entity. In this manner a starting ORP value for the aqueous fibre suspension is obtained. The aqueous fibre suspension is in the intermediate residence entity at least a minimum delay time. A final ORP value is measured for the aqueous fibre suspension after an outlet of the intermediate residence entity before the formation of the fibrous web. An ORP difference value between the starting ORP and final ORP values is calculated. Finally, the aqueous fibre suspension is formed into a fibrous web and dried.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fibrous web, such as web of paper, board, tissue or the like is disclosed. The method includes obtaining at least one fibre suspension of lignocellulosic and/or cellulosic fibres and feeding the fibre suspension into an intermediate residence entity. The fibre suspension including bacterial endospores, is discharged out of the intermediate residence entity via an outlet after a residence time of at least 2 hours in the intermediate residence entity and after a time delay the fibre suspension is formed into a fibrous web. Bacterial endospores are sensitized by adding a germinant surfactant including a primary or secondary ammonium head group and a linear unsubstituted C12-alkyl tail, to the fibre suspension at an addition point located at a lower part of the intermediate residence entity or after the outlet of the intermediate residence entity, but before the formation of the fibrous web.
