Cooling Towers
|
|
 |
Cooling tower water requires
extensive treatment. During Cooling Tower water
treatment, three main factors must be controlled.
• Corrosion of pipes and heat
exchanger units.
• Scaling in pipes and (mainly) in heat exchangers.
• Microbial growth (bacteria, algae).
These three aspects cannot be viewed separately. |
|
Conventional treatment techniques are mainly
applications of chemical biocides, corrosion
inhibitors and scale inhibitors. Ozone is a reliable
alternative that controls the above-mentioned
factors sufficiently.

Benefits of Ozone:
• Safe and easy in use.
• Low maintenance costs.
• Ozone is produced on-site and requires no storage
of dangerous chemicals.
• Ozone requires no additional disinfectants.
• Micro-organism cannot get resistant to ozone after
prolonged use of ozone.
• High efficiency as disinfectant.
• Very effective in removing biofilms.
• Ozone is effective in a wide pH range.
• Makes the water crystal clear, eliminating all
turbidity
• Dissolves the scale and inhibits further scaling,
hence improving heat transfer and further saving on
chemicals and pollution.
• Reduced Chemical Usage – Chlorine can substitute
for several chemicals in a cooling tower treatment
package, reducing and possibly eliminating the use
of such chemicals.
• Increases dramatically Heat Transfer Efficiency.
