Cooling tower water treatment is a valuable form of industrial water treatment which is necessary for any facility or company that utilizes cooling towers and cooling water. A proper cooling tower water treatment program can maximize the efficiency of a system while also increasing the longevity of the equipment using cooling water. This can reduce the overall cost of repairs and replacements in the future and optimize productivity. Untreated or poorly treated cooling water, on the other hand, can lead to an assortment of issues that may negatively impact overall plant efficiency.
What Does a Cooling Tower Management Program Involve?
Because cooling water applications come in different sizes and serve different purposes, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to treating a system. Instead, it is important to have a tailored plan for your specific system. Contacting a water treatment expert to come survey the system is the first steps towards making this happen. Below are just some of the services Fact Water representatives provide in our cooling water treatment program.
ONSITE WATER TESTING
We pull samples from the system and run tests to verify the performance and integrity of the system. This allows us to diagnose any issues or potential problems, and to begin drafting a plan of protection. This testing can be done in regular intervals based on the specific needs of the system to ensure consistent results.
CHEMICAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND FEED
Chemical treatment is often necessary in cooling water treatment. Our program helps to establish treatment levels of specific products chosen by us to prevent scaling, corrosion and biological fouling.
OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS
After an initial survey and testing of the system, our team of experienced water treatment experts will create a plan to establish and control parameters and procedures within the system to relieve existing issues and prevent future problems. We work with you to make sure this plan is as convenient and effective as possible.
SERVICE VISITS
We act as an extension of your facility’s team, helping to ensure the proper maintenance of equipment to achieve the longest service life possible. We meet with staff, review logs, perform any necessary tests or inspections, and make sure everything is running smoothly and to your specifications.
