Biofilm removal
A recurring issue
BIOFILM, what is it?
It is a constant source of contamination, created by an accumulation of bacteria that develop a protective matrix consisting of organic polymers (EPS): polysaccharides, proteins, DNA, lipids, etc…
The organic matrix of biofilms, whether formed by bacteria or yeasts, is very difficult or even impossible to remove using conventional cleaning methods and usual disinfection protocols.

A unique and patented offer from bacteria detection to prevention.
Biofilm Bacteria Removal: the Piramide Solution
1 - Detection
- Detection on open surfacesRealco has developed the BIOFILM DETECTION KIT, a patented technology to detect and visualise biofilm-related contamination by means of the staining process.
- Detection + extraction in closed circuits
Complete ‘Taylor made’ audit of installations, with sampling to detect, localise and quantify the presence of all types of microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, etc.) including some with a propensity to form biofilms.
2 - Eradication
The BIOREM® range consists of patented, highly specific enzyme cocktails that are unique in their ability to eradicate the protective matrix of biofilms.
Once the matrix protecting the biofilm is removed, microorganisms are released and made accessible to biocides.
The Biorem curative treatment is effective on all biofilm contaminations, even the most resistant.
With the new BIOREM 3G range, the patented enzyme activities reach 8, including some capable of hydrolysing PNAG (exopolysaccharide) and e-DNA.

3 - Characterisation
BIOREM® solutions offer the possibility of being analysed with conventional microbiological methods for the detection of cultivable microorganisms.
We also have the possibility of applying innovative and unique metagenetic analyses for the identification of the removed microbiota in its entirety and without cultivation.
4 - Antibiofilm Programme
In order to prevent contamination of finished products, and to ensure a high level of hygiene control, a preventive treatment plan can be implemented.

Eliminating and preventing microbial or fungal biofilm contamination
Piramide and BIOREM® allow you to control the hygiene of your plants, starting with decontamination.
Detecting and eliminating Biofilm-related contamination increases the quality of your products and prolongs their shelf life.
Piramide Expertise:
- Plant audit: detection, location and quantification of contamination.
- Determination of BIOREM® enzymatic detergency protocol: curative treatment.
- Plan and frequency of preventive cleaning, assessed according to the propensity of biofilm to reform and recontaminate the system.
- Daily plant safety.
