Cooling Tower Treatment

Cooling tower water requires extensive treatment. During Cooling Tower water treatment, three main factors must be controlled.

• Corrosion of pipes and heat exchanger units.
• Scaling in pipes and (mainly) in heat exchangers.
• Microbial growth (bacteria, algae).
These three aspects cannot be viewed separately.

Conventional treatment techniques are mainly applications of chemical biocides, corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors. Ozone is a reliable alternative that controls the above-mentioned factors sufficiently.

Benefits of Ozone:
• Safe and easy in use.
• Low maintenance costs.
• Ozone is produced on-site and requires no storage of dangerous chemicals.
• Ozone requires no additional disinfectants.
• Micro-organism cannot get resistant to ozone after prolonged use of ozone.
• High efficiency as disinfectant.
• Very effective in removing bio films.
• Ozone is effective in a wide pH range.
• Makes the water crystal clear, eliminating all turbidity
• Dissolves the scale and inhibits further scaling, hence improving heat transfer and further saving on chemicals and pollution.
• Reduced Chemical Usage – Chlorine can substitute for several chemicals in a cooling tower treatment package,  reducing and possibly eliminating the use of such chemicals.
• Increases dramatically Heat Transfer Efficiency.
