Cooling Water Treatment
Cooling water treatment is a chemical management program for open recirculating cooling systems such as cooling towers to control scale, corrosion, fouling, and microbiological growth, ensuring efficient heat rejection and long equipment life.
Objectives
Ensure efficient cooling system performance by controlling scale, corrosion, and biological growth.
Prevent scale formation
Avoids deposits on heat exchange surfaces.
Control corrosion of metals
Protects system components from degradation.
Control algae, bacteria, and biofilm
Maintains hygienic and efficient operation.
Maintain heat transfer efficiency
Ensures optimal cooling performance.
Reduce water and energy consumption
Improves overall system efficiency.
Specialty Chemicals Used
