How Clean Is Your Cooling Water?

Side-stream filtration reduces cooling tower operating and maintenance costs.
Vortisand Engineering Team, Evoqua Water Technologies
October 12, 2018
No Comments

During process cooling, the cooling water absorbs large volumes of airborne particulate while the cooling tower acts as an air scrubber, filtering the surrounding air. With time, these fine particles can build up and settle within the system, adversely affecting cooling performance while lowering the life of wetted subcomponents.

Use Chlorine to Control Biofilm

May 3, 2017
No Comments

Excessive accumulation of biofilm can lead to process cooling water system fouling and corrosion; loss of heat transfer and reduction in energy efficiency; downtime for cleaning; illness or death; and costly equipment repair or replacement.

Strategies and Tips for the Feed and Control of Chlorine to Cooling Water Systems

Alone, continuous low-level chlorine feed may not be enough to control cooling water biofilm and its related problems. For improved protection, chlorine should be continuously fed, monitored and controlled.

Managing Cooling Water: Preventing Biological Fouling

Timothy Keister
May 5, 2006
2 Comments
Uncontrolled microbiological growth within a cooling water system can result in the formation of biological fouling layers (biofilm) on all surfaces in contact with the cooling water. The biofilm acts as a thermal insulator to decrease heat transfer efficiency in the production equipment and usually results in a substantial corrosion rate increase due to the formation of anaerobic areas under the fouling layer.
