Meet your challenges head on with our cooling water treatments.
When microbiological growth, corrosion and deposition occur in industrial and commercial cooling water systems, they can lead to flow restrictions, reduced operating efficiency, higher maintenance costs and unscheduled outages. To help maintain the reliability and performance of industrial and commercial cooling water systems, Solenis offers state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems and a full line of cooling water treatment chemicals that work at various pH levels and with different water chemistries.
Cooling Water Treatment Programs
Solenis’ cooling water treatment programs enable industrial and commercial operations to improve the reliability and performance of cooling towers, heat exchangers and chill water systems and, as a result, reduce operational costs by mitigating required maintenance, decreasing chemical spend, and conserving water and energy.
Whether your facility has an open recirculating, closed or once-through cooling water system, or whether you are challenged by microbiological growth, corrosion or deposition, we’ve got you covered. Our portfolio of cooling water treatment chemicals, which is supported by an experienced team of applications experts, addresses a broad range of cooling water system problems that can negatively affect production, maintenance costs and equipment life.
Our portfolio of cooling water treatments includes:
- Microbiological control agents that significantly reduce microbial activity and biofilm growth
- Corrosion inhibitors that prevent corrosion from damaging costly equipment
- Scale inhibitors that address the formation of virtually any type of scale
- Proprietary analyzers and control systems that provide around-the-clock monitoring and control of biofilm, corrosion and scale
Notably, Solenis offers performance-based control systems specifically for cooling water treatment programs. These systems use advanced sensor technology to measure actual program performance and provide feedback or feed forward control to maintain desired results.
Significant Challenges with Cooling Tower Systems
Cooling systems are susceptible to various water-related issues that can impact their efficiency, effectiveness, and safety. Without a tailored cooling water treatment program, these issues can lead to equipment failure, production downtime, added costs, reduced efficiency, and Legionella-related risks.
Mineral build up, such as calcium and magnesium on heat exchanger surfaces, can significantly reduce heat transfer efficiency, ramp up energy consumption, and operating costs.
Untreated water can lead to metal deterioration in cooling tower systems, leading to equipment failure, costly repairs, and production downtime.
Uncontrolled microbiological activity can lead to reduced heat transfer, potential equipment damage, clogged pipes, and an increased risk of Legionella.
The accumulation of debris, sediment, and microbiological growth in cooling tower distribution systems, tower fill, and other components cause restricted water flow, water quality issues, and heat transfer inefficiency.
Excessive blowdown, leaks, and overflow result in unnecessary water consumption within cooling tower systems and the loss of valuable treatment chemicals.
Porous white deposits that can form on the surface of galvanized steel can compromise protective coatings and reduce the corrosion resistance of components, weakening overall structural integrity.
