COOLING TOWER TREATMENT

Triple Point provides a range of cooling water treatment programs meticulously crafted to safeguard cooling towers from issues like scale buildup, corrosion, and the growth of microorganisms.

WHAT IS COOLING TOWER WATER TREATMENT?

Cooling tower water treatment is a comprehensive process that involves using various methods and chemicals to maintain the efficiency and reliability of cooling tower systems, which are essential for dissipating excess heat from industrial processes and HVAC systems. They are crucial for maintaining the optimal operating temperature of equipment and processes that generate heat. They do this by transferring heat from water that circulates within the system to the surrounding air through evaporation and convective heat transfer. Water treatment for these systems is vital for preventing issues such as scale buildup, corrosion, and microbial growth that can hinder performance and cause damage to the system.

TYPES OF CHEMICALS USED FOR COOLING TOWER TREATMENT

  • Biocides

  • Corrosion & Scale Inhibitors

  • Defoamer

  • pH adjustors

  • Bio-dispersants

  • Chlorine Removal (NPEDS permits)

  • Scale Removal

WHY TREATING A COOLING TOWER IS IMPORTANT

  1. Scale Prevention: Chemical additives are used to inhibit the formation of mineral deposits and scale on heat exchange surfaces, ensuring optimal heat transfer.

  2. Corrosion Control: Corrosion inhibitors are introduced to the water to protect metal components from deterioration caused by chemical reactions.

  3. Biological Control: Biocides are applied to control the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and algae, which can foul the system and cause health risks.

  4. pH Adjustment: Maintaining proper pH levels helps prevent corrosion and scale formation.

  5. Filtration: Filtration systems are employed to remove particles and debris from the cooling water, ensuring smooth flow and minimizing clogs.

  6. Water Quality Monitoring: Regular testing and analysis of water quality are performed to ensure the treatment program's effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.
