Cooling towers face two primary challenges: scaling and corrosion. Because cooling towers are designed specifically to remove heat through the process of evaporation, scaling occurs in the system’s piping and heat exchange equipment unless the system is properly treated. In addition, corrosion occurs across a wide range of water qualities and conditions. AquaTrol offers a full line of corrosion and scale inhibitors to keep your cooling towers operating at peak performance.
AquaTrol’s Cooling Water Scale & Corrosion Inhibitor Programs Provide:
AN EXTENSIVE SYSTEM REVIEW o ascertain current level of corrosion and scale and protection type needed.
- SYSTEM METALLURGY
- WATER ANALYSIS (SYSTEM & MAKE UP)
- TEMPERATURE RANGE
- DISCHARGE OR ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
PROPER PRODUCT SELECTION AND DOSAGE FREQUENCY based on analysis and determined requirements. Calculations used include:
- Langelier Stability Index (LSI)
- Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)
- Larson-Skold
- Water Cycle Analysis
MAINTENANCE OF INDUSTRY STANDARDS for corrosion rates.
- 3.0 mpy or less for Mild Steel
- 0.2 mpy or less for Copper
REDUCTION OF WATER COST by running the most cycles possible in the system, minimizing make-up water usage.
LOW TREATMENT COST with the least amount of chemical usage possible to provide desired results.
