Cooling Water treatment Solutions

A successful cooling water treatment program requires all of the following elements:

• Technically sound chemical and mechanical programs must be combined. Scale, corrosion, fouling and Microbiological deposits all contribute to problems with heat transfer and ultimately, the quality of your process. Finding the right answers to avoid problems in a cooling water system can be a complex task. A good treatment program must address a variety of problems and yet be compatible throughout the entire system. You can rely on your Thermidaire representative to provide programs for your particular needs.

Plant personnel must understand the importance of the cooling water system in relation to production. A comprehensive training program, such as the one Thermidaire offers, is an effective method of providing this knowledge to plant personnel. Monitoring and control must be continuous and must utilize the proper techniques, equipment and supplies.

1- THERMIZE PLUS C is compounded with several different organic and cationic products and prevents the three problems in cooling waters.

THERMIZE PLUS C prevents the formation and growth of algae, slime, bacteria etc., carried in with the wind.
THERMIZE PLUS C prevents fouling, sludge and scale deposits in condenser tubes and other parts of the system.
THERMIZE PLUS C prevents corrosion in all parts of the system.

2- THERMIZE for removing mud, solids and oxides from cooling towers, takes the stickiness out of mud and sediments. Thermize does not dissolve or suspend mud, but any perceptible water velocity will pick up treated mud and carry it away

Monitoring and Control

Automation of systems has become increasingly important as the nature of acceptable cooling water treatment programs has changed. If not properly controlled, any chemical program can fail, leading to possible lost production, increased maintenance costs and increased energy usage.

Thermidaire Technology and Services provides control of chemical feed based on the measurement of chemical in the cooling water systems. By measuring chemical treatment product levels.

Benefits include reducing system variability, higher cycles of concentration in the cooling tower, and eliminating overfeeding and underfeeding of chemicals.

·Troubleshooting and consulting tools that can help uncover and correct cooling water operations that traditionally have gone undetected or been urn solvable. Applications Technology include water flow study, leak detection, chemical injection efficiency, measurement study and biocide efficiency study. Information obtained through studies can be used to determine the return on investment in new control strategies to improve efficiency. Running the study allows you to uncover and correct long-standing efficiency problems in a cooling water system, reducing a plant's operating expenses.

Cooling Water Biocides Problems

Microbiological growth is one of four major harmful phenomena that can occur in a cooling water system. The formation of bio-deposits on heat transfer surfaces results in significant heat transfer loss. These bio-deposits or slime layers can lead to the promotion of three other major problems: corrosion, scale and fouling.

Cooling Water Biocides Solutions

Microbiological growth can be minimized by physical means such as back flushing and air rumbling of heat exchangers and cleaning of filters. However, these physical methods will not destroy or prevent the

1. Growth of microorganisms; chemicals called Biocides are used for this purpose.
2. PROTECTOTHERM NF, Biocides have been typically used to control severe upset conditions or to enhance biocide programs.
3. PROTECTOTHERM NF main advantage lies in the fact that it has a very high penetrating power and very good killing power against microorganisms at low concentrations.
4. PROTECTOTHERM NF non-foaming liquid micro-biocide, non-odorous.
5. PROTECTOTHERM NF is used to control algae, bacteria, fungi in recalculating commercial and industrial cooling towers
6. PROTECTOTHERM NF is effective at low pH value and safe to use.

Due to increasing environmental concerns, Thermidaire brocades treatments are organic compounds which react with specific cell components within a microbe to ultimately destroy that cell.

These programs help minimize slime problems that can cause costly reductions in heat transfer, minimize discharge problems, are effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms and are easy to apply.
