The main purpose of a cooling system is to remove heat from a piece of equipment or process. In cooling tower systems, this result is achieved through the use of cold water. The heated water can then be cooled for reuse, or discharged into a receiving body.

Without a specialized water treatment program, cooling systems are at risk of developing a number of complications, including scale formation, system corrosion, and microbiological growth. Such factors increase in likelihood and severity if the system water becomes contaminated or unbalanced. This can result in increased costs through remedial maintenance and energy/system inefficiencies, impacting your profitability and operations.

Our cooling tower water treatment solutions ensure secure, reliable, and efficient cooling tower system operation for your business. With a history of industrial innovation, we provide market-leading water treatment programs, tailored to cooling towers and cooling systems. Our customized water treatment programs can include open recirculating systems, evaporative condensers, and fluid coolers.

Increase Cooling Tower/System Performance with NCH Chem-Aqua

Our water treatment solutions for cooling towers and cooling systems are designed to optimize your operational performance. Maximizing the life of your system components, our sustainable water treatment programs reduce costly energy, water, and maintenance expenditures for your business. NCH Chem-Aqua water treatment solutions protect your cooling systems, employing unique, innovative technology to handle frequent system issues:

System Corrosion

Corrosion is a primary contributor to the premature deterioration of cooling tower system components. A common result of increased deposits of minerals and microbes/biological matter, prevention of corrosion is essential to avoid system downtime and maintenance that ultimately impacts productivity and profitability for your business. Our water treatment solutions are designed to reduce the risk of corrosion and mineral/biological material contamination to maximize system efficiency.

Scale and deposits

Scale and mineral deposits can form on heat exchange surfaces in cooling tower systems. This is primarily caused by ineffective water treatment, where the saturation of mineral contents leads to adherence to key system componentry as mineral solubility decreases in negative correlation with water temperature. Scale deposits form insulating barriers on heat exchange systems, reducing the performance and energy efficiency of cooling systems. Our water treatment programs reduce the impact of mineral contents of system water, helping to maximize energy efficiency and water conservation.

Microbiological growth

Through ineffective water treatment and warm water temperatures, cooling systems can provide optimal environments for the growth of biofilms and microbes. Microorganism growth can lead to a number of secondary effects including slime and fouling, which affects equipment performance and promotes metal corrosion. In some cases, bacterial growth can lead to health risks. NCH Chem-Aqua water treatment solutions are designed to reduce the risk of microbiological growth to protect system performance.

Legionella

The growth of the harmful Legionella bacteria is frequent in cooling towers as they provide the ideal conditions for it to survive and multiply. Legionella can cause serious health risks, such as respiratory infections. It is crucial to prevent legionella in facilities where many people can be affected, such as hospitals, hotels, and schools.

Effective water treatment is a critical part of the preventive maintenance program for a water system. System repairs or replacements are expensive and can be avoided with regular maintenance.
