Common Cooling Tower and Boiler Water Treatment Issues
There are several potential problems that may necessitate water treatment in cooling towers, boilers and closed loop systems.
- CORROSION - Cooling towers, boilers and closed loop systems are an ideal environment for the destructive attack of a metal through interaction with its environment. Click for more info on Corrosion Issues.
- SCALE - Minerals such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium silicate are relatively insoluble in water and can form scale deposits when exposed to conditions often found in cooling water systems. Click for more info on Scale Issues.
- BIOLOGICAL FOULING - The deposition of suspended material in open recirculating water systems is called fouling. Microbial growth can strongly influence fouling, corrosion and scale formation, if not controlled properly. Click for more info on Biological Fouling Issues.
EnduroSolv® solid water treatment products for cooling towers and boilers can help combat common water treatment issues of corrosion, scale and fouling. Without proper treatment, these problems can create multiple system issues including:
- Increased maintenance cost
- Accelerated equipment repair or replacement
- More frequent shutdowns for cleaning
- Reduced heat transfer efficiency
- Increased fuel costs and energy consumption
