Cooling Water Treatment

Impurities in water can lead to the following undesirable conditions in your cooling tower system. Minerals and other contaminants in untreated water can collect and form scale on cooling tower equipment. These deposits have an insulating effect that reduces heat transfer efficiency. They can also restrict water flow and impact process efficiency, as well as contribute to corrosion. Corrosion can result in decreased efficiency, shortened equipment life and costly downtime.

Cooling towers are ideal environments for the growth of algae, bacteria and other microscopic organisms. Left unchecked, they can clog spray nozzles and other equipment, interfere with heat transfer, contribute to corrosion and create unsanitary conditions. Of special concern is the growth of Legionella bacteria in cooling towers. The cost to resolve a case of Legionnaires’ disease can cost a company thousands of dollars, as well as human and environmental risks

At Zimmite, our water treatment programs are designed to provide solutions for chemical water treatment including disinfectants and biocides to remove biological contaminants, cooling tower water filtration, corrosion control and water treatment testing and monitoring. We can customise a comprehensive cooling tower water treatment program tailored around your specific system and needs, to safeguard equipment including maintaining health and regulations standards.
