Five Main Focuses in Water Treatment

Corrosion

Scale

Bacteria

Algae

Filtration

Sensible water treatment is an investment in your equipment, as well as an investment in your employees and community. You can protect your property, while providing a safe work environment and a safe atmosphere, for the people close to your livelihood.

Corrosion is what happens naturally when water and metal are in contact.  This can happen through a process called electrochemical oxidation, or rusting.  Another form of corrosion possible is galvanic corrosion. This occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact physically or in a common electrolyte, such as water.

Scaling is a concern in water treatment due to its effect on system efficiency and possible under-scale corrosion.  It is caused by the precipitation of dissolved minerals from the system's makeup water.  This is a major concern for cooling towers as the number of cycles of concentration is increased.

Microbiological growth is a major concern in water treatment.  It is the one way your cooling system can become a liability.  A program that keeps bacterial colonization to a minimum is a must.

Algae consists of various green, red, or brown organisms that grow mostly in water, ranging in size from single cells to large spreading seaweeds. Like plants, algae manufacture their own food through photosynthesis and release large amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere.  Controlling algae is an important part of any water treatment program.

Foreign material always seems to find a way into system water. Excessive amounts can lead to clogged pipes and valves or under deposit corrosion. Filtration is the best way to remove suspended solids from your system, without dumping perfectly good water.
