Cooling water is a vital component of equipment and processes in
many facilities.
Contaminants contained in water used
for cooling can cause serious problems including corrosion, scale
deposits, and microbiological growth. Without proper chemical
treatment, these problems will become evident and cause high
operating costs, unsafe operation and reduced equipment life.
Successful and reliable operation
of cooling water equipment requires the application of the best
available water treatment technology to counteract the adverse
effects of impurities in the make-up water. A well-designed water
treatment program is essential to maintaining clean, corrosion-free
internal system conditions.
