Significant Water and Energy Reduction Achieved via Advanced Real-time Monitoring and Treatment Chemistry

GoalReduce cooling tower and heat exchanger scaling.

<h6>Customer Challenge</h6> <p>A cooling system was experiencing significant scaling due to poor&nbsp;make-up water conditions including high chlorides, high&nbsp;orthophosphate and high conductivity variation (daily). The system&nbsp;was also stressed due to restricted make-up water availability.&nbsp;These conditions resulted in excessive cooling tower and heat&nbsp;exchanger scaling which had to be annually cleaned with acid or&nbsp;tower fill to be replaced.</p> <h6>Recommended Solution</h6> <p>Solenis recommended using recycled surface water as an alternative water resource to the limited softened water source. Water samples were tested under laboratory conditions with scale loop testing at 1.6 cycles of concentration and were stabilized with Solenis&rsquo; Performax cooling water treatment. This chemistry was implemented along with Solenis&rsquo; OnGuard 3H ultrasonic analyzer to monitor and control&nbsp;cooling water performance in conjunction with Solenis&rsquo; OnGuard P&nbsp;Controller.</p> <h6>Results Achieved</h6> <p>The optimized cooling water program was checked after 18 months.&nbsp;The use of recycled surface water has proven its economic and&nbsp;environmental advantages. Cooling cycles were increased, chiller&nbsp;surfaces remained clean, heat exchangers remained scale free and&nbsp;annual tower fill cleaning and replacement was eliminated.</p> <p><img style="max-width: 100%; width: auto; height: auto;" src="/link/4194ef4225b4448a96f483f91265c6eb.aspx" alt="" width="1000" height="400" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
