The quality of the water used in your cooling tower directly impacts its efficiency and cost of operation, as well as human and environmental health. Treating cooling tower water to remove chemical and biological impurities is therefore a critical concern.
What Is Cooling Tower Water Treatment?
Cooling tower treatment includes a configuration of technologies designed to remove impurities from cooling tower intake water, circulation water and blowdown.
Why Is Water Treatment for Cooling Towers Important?
Impurities in water can lead to the following undesirable conditions in your cooling tower system:
- Corrosion: Improper pH, chemical reactions in the water and other factors can contribute to corrosion of cooling tower equipment. Corrosion can result in decreased efficiency, shortened equipment life and costly downtime.
- Deposition and scale: 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.
- Biological contamination: 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.
Proactive treatment of cooling tower water is critical to keeping these factors in check — and to maintaining proper standards for health and environmental regulation, as well as cooling tower cost efficiency.
Superior Water Treatment for Cooling Towers
The sodium hypochlorite solution produced by Chlory’s sodium hypochlorite generator is widely used in the cooling tower of nuclear and thermal power plants. Sodium hypochlorite generator uses electrolysis to produce sodium hypochlorite solution. Chlory salt water electrolysis technology (brain electrolysis technology) is able to produce sodium hypochlorite 8000-9000 ppm. Chlory seawater electrolysis (electro-chlorination technology) is able to produce sodium hypochlorite100-2000 ppm. In order to meet the sterilization treatment of circulating water in nuclear power plants or thermal power plants, sodium hypochlorite generator is usually used to prepare finished sodium hypochlorite disinfectant as an algae removal agent in circulating water treatment.
