Managing Biological Fouling in Cooling Towers

A pharmaceutical company faced biofouling problems in its cooling tower until a new solution was implemented.
Nitin Shinde
March 30, 2022
No Comments

In cooling towers, biofilms cause microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and equipment failures; in membrane systems, biofilms cause scaliing and reduce the life of the equipment. Learn how one pharmaceutical company handled the problem when biological fouling threatened their process.

Bubble Generators Helps Prevent Deposits in Mechanical Systems

January 7, 2022
No Comments

When Nanobubble Generators are installed on cooling towers and heat exchangers, they convert the noncondensable gases that already exist in the water into nanobubbles that can help remove and prevent biofilms and deposits, says the manufacturer.

Putting Cooler Condensers Back to Work

Biofouling and other problems can lead to tube leaks and unplanned outages.
Alex Turner Jason McGaffigan Lonnie Coffey
January 4, 2022
No Comments

Condensers are used to prevent direct mixing between the shell-side steam and the cooling water flowing through the tubes in steam-turbine-driven equipment in power plants and food processing applications. Biofouling and other problems can lead to tube leaks and unplanned outages.

Seawater Cooling Systems Treatment

A thorough understanding of how water-chemistry characteristics vary around the world is required to effectively treat, control and optimize seawater cooling systems.
Emregul Cetin Yurteri, Suez Water Technologies & Solutions
August 2, 2021
No Comments
The increasing scarcity of fresh water — driven partly by strong global economic growth — is propelling demands to use seawater in cooling water systems. Seawater is widely used for cooling in many areas of the world, particularly in the Mediterranean, Middle East, Latin America and Pacific regions.

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.
