Cooling & Boiler Water Systems Services
Our water treatment consulting services include solutions designed to optimize the performance, efficiency, and longevity of HVAC, power generation and other industrial process systems, including cooling towers, chillers, and steam boilers. Our services will help ensure that your systems are kept free from scaling, corrosion, and biofouling, thus enabling efficient cooling and water and energy savings.
Cost Evaluations and Savings Consulting Services
An independent water treatment expert consultant is essential for properly analyzing existing systems, treatment processes, and operational practices to assess factors such as energy and water consumption, chemical usage, vendor water treatment plans and laboratory costs to identify inefficiencies and potential areas for significant cost savings.
Biological Treatment Survey for Wastewater
This service offers an in-depth review and consultation on Industrial and Municipal wastewater treatment processes. We assess historical data to identify trends in key performance indicators, such as COD/BOD loading and nitrogen/phosphorous balance. The service emphasizes real-time data utilization, using strategies such as COD data for quicker plant operation decisions as opposed to awaiting BOD results. A comprehensive computer model for efficient data tracking and decision-making is created. Inefficiencies or inconsistencies in the current system are identified by analyzing historical data, ensuring the plant is operating at its optimal capacity. The economic assessments provided can lead to long-term financial savings, and the creation of a comprehensive computer model can streamline operations, leading to better decision-making and inter-departmental collaboration. Tailored training is provided to plant operators, and recommendations are given for improving treatment efficacy.
