For one chemical manufacturer in North Carolina, after decades of replacing their metal towers with the same material, corrosion-resistant engineered-plastic cooling towers provided an alternative.

Over time, acid feed systems will likely cause long-term damaging effects to cooling tower basins and equipment if chemicals are not mixed properly. 

Heat exchangers are used in many critical processes to protect other valuable manufacturing equipment, optimize energy consumption and reduce associated operating costs. A properly selected, installed and maintained heat exchanger can help enhance the reliability and efficiency of a fluid system. 

Cooling corrosion-control programs have traditionally utilized phosphate, metals or film-forming chemistry. As cooling water cycles in concentration, the aqueous environment becomes more corrosive due to elevated conductivity, chlorides and sulfates.

More robust and corrosion-resistant designs are increasing the safety and performance of safety-relief valves. The manufacturing and applications for relief valves and manifolds are continuously improving. 

For critical process cooling applications, carefully taking into account the conditions in which your process chiller will be used, and the process for which it will be used, will help you identify the features most needed on your system. Use the following checklist as a guideline for purchasing industrial process chillers.

A 66-month corrosion warranty protects the company’s QTC3 air-cooled scroll chillers, in sizes from 50 to 200 tons, when they are ordered with Environment Guard microchannel coil-corrosion protection.

Corporation stops are designed to ensure that chemical feed systems inject into the center of a process stream to provide better mixing and to prevent corrosion along the process pipe.
