Case Study | Chem-Aqua | Revolutionizing Cooling Water Treatment in Banking Facilities

Cooling water systems in the banking industry face significant challenges, including scale buildup, corrosion, biofouling, and inefficient water usage. These issues can severely impact both system performance and sustainability.

To address these challenges, a leading bank implemented the HandiChem Solid Program, using Handipak55 as an antiscalant and corrosion inhibitor. By applying a precise dosage of one block (11 lbs) per month, the bank ensured consistent protection against scaling and corrosion.

Real-time monitoring of biofouling potential was achieved with bioDART, keeping the cooling water clean and efficient. To further prevent biofilm growth, especially in high cycles of concentration (CoC) cooling water, the bank utilized bioeXile in conjunction with MB60B, CB9099, and MB215.

The optimization of water usage was enhanced by aquaDART, which effectively managed the cycles of concentration and controlled blowdown. Traditional liquid antiscalant and corrosion inhibitors were replaced with the HandiChem Solid Program, reducing chemical usage and improving overall efficiency. For carbonate scale descaling, CBD92 was employed to maintain a scale-free system.

Key performance indicators include:

• Water Savings: Approximately 10% reduction in water costs.
• Energy Savings: Around 15% savings from improved system efficiency.
• CO2 Carbon Footprint Reduction: A reduction of 1.2 metric tons annually.
• Chemical Savings: Notable decrease in chemical usage and related expenses.

This innovative treatment approach has successfully addressed the bank’s cooling water challenges, resulting in substantial cost savings and environmental benefits.
