If you've ever experienced recurring microbiological failures despite following cleaning procedures, biofilm could be part of the problem.
Biofilm can develop in hidden areas throughout a facility, protecting microorganisms and creating ongoing contamination risks.
This infographic highlights some of the most common biofilm hotspots found in food and beverage manufacturing environments.
As a CEA Group company, Advanced Hygiene Solutions (AHS) combines ECA technology with practical hygiene expertise, while leveraging the broader engineering, water treatment and food processing capabilities of the CEA Group.
Together, we help customers identify potential biofilm risks, improve hygiene programmes and implement solutions that support safer food production.
he R250,000/Hour Question: Are you treating the cause of corrosion, or just paying for the damage? 📉
In South African smelting operations, high-temperature chemical attacks are a direct drain on profitability. Standard mechanical repairs only fix the symptoms - if you aren't actively managing the process chemistry, corrosion is managing your bottom line.
How chemical treatment protects your capital:
Flue Gas Neutralisation: Injecting tailored chemical neutralisers to stop acid formation before it hits your off-gas systems.
Slag Chemistry Optimization: Using chemical additives to alter slag fluidity, reducing chemical erosion on furnace refractory linings.
Minimized Downtime: Routine chemical cleaning and passivation prevent the heavy scale buildup that forces unscheduled shutdowns.
Stop letting unmanaged corrosion eat away at your operational margins. Speak to our team at CEA Group to optimize your facility's process chemistry.

A "sealed" system is NOT a protected system.
In HVAC and industrial process cooling, assuming a closed loop looks after itself is a massive risk to your bottom line. Behind the scenes, oxygen ingress and mixed metals create the ultimate storm for internal corrosion.
The Unprotected Reality:
🔹 Galvanic Attack: Steel, copper, and aluminium interact to erode metals silently from within.
🔹 Insulated Efficiency: Scale & iron oxide build-up reduce heat transfer—forcing chillers to draw more power.
🔹 Costly Downtime: Leaks and pressure drops mean you're paying for catastrophic damage, not routine care.
Protect your infrastructure before the damage becomes irreversible. Get in touch with CEA Group for a full system analysis and custom CEAmine treatment strategy.
Total Closed-Loop Protection.
Managing mixed-metallurgy cooling or heating circuits doesn't need to be complex. If you have carbon steel, copper, and aluminium in the same system, you need CEAmine.
Why choose CEAmine All-In-One Treatment?
✅ It Protects Everything: Forms a protective hydrophobic barrier over all standard system metals and alloys.
✅ It’s Proactive: Stops corrosion before it eats your pipework and heat exchangers.
✅ It Saves Money: Clean surfaces mean better heat transfer, lower energy bills, and longer equipment life.
Don't wait for leaks or efficiency drops to tell you there is a problem.

47.3% of South Africa's treated water is lost before it reaches a tap.
Behind every drop that does arrive safely, there's a chain of chemistry and infrastructure working hard - and CEA Group is proud to be part of it.

PRAESTOL 187K Success Story

What started as a project to improve RO pretreatment performance resulted in significantly lower SDI, reduced aluminum carryover, over five times longer cartridge filter life, and approximately $100,000 per year in operating savings.

Different Foam Problems

Before You Choose a Defoamer, Find Out Where Your Foam Comes From
 Foam is not the same across every industrial process. A defoamer that works in a coating formulation may fail in a wastewater aeration tank. The reason is simple: different systems generate different types of foam.
