The Purpose Of a Cooling Tower Water Treatment System


Industries and factories almost always have a requirement for cooling towers, which further requires a need for a cooling tower water treatment system. Water used in parts of Australia for such purposes is not groundwater, but rather brackish or saline water. This means there is a very high level of impurities in the water, thus rendering their usability to a very minimal extent. If cooling towers are left untreated, it is most likely to result in organic growth, scaling, corrosion, and fouling. This results in a significant downgrade of the quality of cooling, productivity, plant downtime and requires costly equipment to replace.

All of this means that there is an added unnecessary cost towards the company, and thus, they have to incur unwanted losses. In order to help you save money for your company or your building, you must first understand what a cooling tower is and how is it treated.

A cooling tower treatment system is an arrangement wherein the water supplied is stripped of all its impurities using feed water, circulation water and or blowdown. Each system is unique, as no two towers will have the same set of requirements. Here are some things, which can help determine what your configuration of the water tower is:

•    Quality of water
•    The chemical composition of the water
•    The type of tower
•    Regulatory requirements, which are specific to different areas
•    The kind of heat exchanger required, and more

These are just some of the things you need to be aware of when finding out the type of system you will employ for filtering the cooling tower. It is not a single process as such, and there are many components of a cooling water tower treatment system. The two factors which play a crucial role in determining the types of systems put in place are the quality of water and the chemistry of the water circulating in the feed. The method includes clarification, filtration, softening, chemical feed, and a monitoring system. 

The composition of the chemicals in the water is what determines, which steps you need to combine for your building in order to get the best possible result. There might also be a requirement of a bit more customization, which means you will need to look into more methods of treatments to add to the system. 

The cooling towers in place are put to control and regulate the levels of chlorides, alkalinity, silica, organic matter, hardness and other impurities. These can make the cooling towers function improperly and with inefficiency. With the help of HydroChem’s cooling tower water treatment chemicals, you can be rest assured the water you use for your towers will be pure.

With a lack of clean water, it is always a good idea to use treatment solutions in order to get efficient results. The experts from HydroChem will come and give you a comprehensive report and analysis of how your cooling towers are functioning. You also are given an accurate system set up so that you do not get charged out of the ordinary.
