Bacteria and Fungi grow in coolant sumps, producing foul odors and biomass that can clog filters and screens. Unchecked microbial growth can destabilize the coolant and create a variety of serious manufacturing issues. I have seen fungus get so bad that biomass “stalactites” form on reservoir covers and a nasty slime coats every filter and screen. Cleaning such a system is time-consuming, unpleasant labor. In other cases, sulfur odors from unchecked bacterial growth have gotten so bad that plant and office personnel have refused to work. Obviously, when things get to this point, there will be considerable expense and inconvenience to remedy the situation.
