Industry Overview

Ask yourself the following questions:

How much does it cost me to reject one ton of heat to cool my buildings?

How much does it cost me to generate one pound of steam to heat my building?

What does this have to do with water treatment? Absolutely everything!

Traditionally, Industrial Fire-tube boiler and Open loop Cooling systems use chemicals to treat their water. This technique has not changed much for decades.  By the very nature of the chemical treatment process, it is doomed to fail. Often the chemicals are improperly balanced due to makeup water or foreign contaminants that are pulled or blown into the towers.
 
As unmanaged solids in the water reach critical levels, rapid scaling occurs on both boiler and condenser interior surfaces, tower components, and even distribution piping. The scale that builds up, acts as an insulator reducing the heat transfer efficiency of all heating and cooling components, robbing you of your energy dollars. 1mm of scale (the width of a line that most pens draw) can increase elecrical costs 10%.

In plain language it costs you much more than chemicals to treat your heating and cooling systems. Expenses can be: loss of productivity, excess electricity, water, sewage, equipment maintenance, repair, and even replacement. These operational expenses are all impacted as a result of scaling and bio-film that can build up in your systems.
