Cooling Water Treatment

Cooling Water Treatment Programs

Whether the type of cooling water system is once through, closed, or open recirculating, all require a sound water treatment program to insure reliability and efficiency. If not properly controlled, deposit build-up and corrosion can lead to unscheduled shutdowns, production losses, increased energy usage, and the high capital cost of equipment repair or replacement. Additionally, failure to maintain effective microbiological control can lead to operational problems and, of even greater concern, pose health risks to employees and the general public

In the last decade, other cooling water utility considerations and concerns have grown in stature. These include the green movement and heightened environmental stewardship, as well as the requirement to reduce water usage and consumption.

Aquatrol Technologies develops site specific, comprehensive water management programs that insure reliability and optimum performance of the facility’s cooling water utilities. Advanced monitoring, feed, and control technologies are combined to allow our clients the ability to achieve the primary goal – that being predictable, efficient and cost-effective operation.

Aquatrol’s RTM (Real Time Monitoring) programs insure that the optimum chemical treatment residual is maintained, costly overfeed of treatment is avoided, and process efficiency is assured.

Aquatrol Technologies product line includes a broad range of formulations for both scaling and corrosive recirculating cooling waters, chilled and hot systems, and once-through processes. For microbiological control, a complete line of oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides are available. Supplemental dispersants and slime penetrants are also available for the control of fouling from oily contaminants, suspended solids, and biofilm.

Cooling Water System Products

RTM Technology

• Polymer and sequestrant blends for slight, moderate, and stressed scaling conditions.
• Yellow metal inhibitors for non-ferrous metals corrosion control.
• Molybdate, phosphate, and zinc blends for mild steel corrosion control.
• Closed loop blended products including molybdate, molybdate-nitrite, nitrite-borate, molybdate-silicate – with yellow metal inhibitor and dispersant included.

Scale & Corrosion Inhibitors

• RTM (Real Time Monitoring) products are formulated to allow the treatment level to be monitored, recorded, and controlled continuously on a real-time basis. The process does not use high cost molybdenum and the very expensive titration based equipment as has been typically employed, to monitor and control treatment levels – making the RTM approach far more economical and feasible for even the smallest systems.

Supplemental Dispersants

• Polymer and surfactant based anti-foulant formulations to provide additional deposit control and penetrant action for systems experiencing high suspended solids loading, oil contamination, and slime outbreaks.

Biocides / Algaecides

• Oxidizing biocides including stabilized bromine, hydantoin, chlorine, and chlorine dioxide treatments
• Non-oxidizing biocides and algaecides including Glutaraldehyde, Isothiazolin, TKPS, and amine based treatment
