CG Solutions
CG Solutions is a Division of Vanguard Industries Inc. It was formed by a group of highly dedicated experienced water treatment professionals who believed that high quality chemicals was not enough to assure the total goals of customer satisfaction. CG Solutions recognized the number one reason for customer dissatisfaction was service. It was this fact in mind that CG Solutions began marketing its products thru degreed personnel with water treatment experience. These experienced people had already established themselves in their cities as solid professionals who understood both the mechanical and the water side of heat exchange equipment. They made both financial and customer commitments and CG Solutions agreed to supply the highest quality products and technical training, along with state-of-the-art research and development.

About Us
The Company was formed in 1986. Our blending facility is located in Fenton, Missouri. CG Solutions currently has locations throughout central and southeast US and are looking forward to expanding our services throughout the United States.
Water is our most important resource, there are no substitutes. We are not going to run out of water, but we are going to make potable water very expensive, in time. Please feel free to watch our power point presentation on how to conserve water and energy for water cooled processing plants and HVAC systems.
Products
CG Solutions manufactures boiler and cooling tower products and has over 250 different products to service our industry. These products encompass the latest in treatment technology, utilizing advanced polynmer formulations for scale, deposit and corrosion control and removal.
CG Solutions is quickly becoming the nation's leader in High Cycles Technology (HCT), ZeroTek, saving up to 30% of the make-up to the cooling tower using city, well, condensate, reclaim and rain water or any combination for tower make-up.
Personnel
Graduate chemists are available to interpret and discuss testing needs, procedures and laboratory results.
Laboratory Capabilities
Water & Deposit Analysis
- By performing filtration & colorimetric tests we are able to analyze over 85 million important water management parameters.
Resin Analysis
- This provides a report on physical stability and exchange capacity of ton exchange resins.
Micro Biological Testing
- Enables the detection of specific bacteria, algea and fungi in water before excessive growth causes problems.
Equipment and Techniques
Including, but not limited to:
- High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) : involves the separation of samples into their most basic molecular components. They then pass through a detector and are measured on a chart recorder.
- Inorganic Atomic Absorption Analysis: analysis allows us to detect trace levels of metals in a sample.
- Spectrometer: is used in colorimetric chemistry to measure the color intensity of a prepared sample which is proportional to concentration.
- Wet Chemistry: the preparation of samples for colorimetric analysis and the filtration of samples.
- Biological Dip slides & Biological Activity: reaction tests are methods to analyze for bacteria, algae and fungi.
The Story of ZeroTek?
ZeroTek is CG Solution's Green Water Treatment Management program. It is a High Cycle Technology (HCT) treatment program that will save millions of gallons of water and thousands of dollars per year. It allows you a free water treatment program that generates revenues for as long as you are on the program.
Across the sun-belt, 75% of the water coming into a commercial building will be used for comfort cooling or HVAC. Up to 50% of that water will be discharged down a drain. Our High Cycle Technology allows you to save up to 30% of the tower make-up water. ZeroTek saves, on average, 1 million gallons of water per year per 500 tons of nominal cooling. If you have twice the tonnage, you'll have twice the savings. Also, as your water and sewer cost continue to increase, so will the savings with ZeroTek. Water reduction, as a result of High Cycle Technology, coupled with cost avoidance charges, as a result of sewer water deduct, can show tremendous savings. How much savings? Payback on ZeroTek equipment is generally less than 12 months. If sewer rebates are included, the payback is generally less than 6 months.
ZeroTek is a complete automated High Cycle Technology treatment program, not just a product. The intent of ZeroTek is to make your cooling tower look like a swimming pool. This is not a rhetorical sentence. A water softener is installed on the make-up line to the cooling tower to remove the mineral salts that drop out of solution on traditional treatment programs. A side-stream multi-media filter is placed on the condenser line. This filter does not restrict the flow of the condenser water and does not require any additional pumps. As a result of this filter, particulate matter down to 5 microns is removed from the condenser water, in essence 'cold pasteurizing' your condenser water. In addition, ZeroTek includes, as named by OSHA, a non-hazardous biocide system to keep your condenser water free of algae, Legionella or any of a multitude of various invading organisms that can foul tubes or cause harm?or illness.
An active ingredient in ZeroTek chemistry is polysilicate; very people friendly, inert and replenishable. Polysilicates are superior corrosion inhibitors compared to anything currently on the market. It is monitored and controlled by use of a laboratory grade spectrometer. There is a 1% variance from the set point, providing near perfect control over the corrosion rates in your condenser loop. As the absorption rate drops below the set point, the chemical pump injects more chemical to maintain the proper inhibitor level. When the set point is achieved, the chemical pump stops. The controller may be viewed and controlled remotely via the internet, as well as, networked with your current building automation system.
Finally to attain High Cycle Technology, we will unplug your solenoid valve and close the ball valve on your bleed line. You will attain 20 to 60 cycles of concentration, depending on your water quality. ZeroTek is more effective the worse (high alkalinity, high hardness) the make-up water is. Make-up water can be any single source or a combination of any of the following water sources: potable, well, reclaim, condensate harvesting or rainwater harvesting.
With the use of any of these water sources, we will attain, as good as, or better than your current corrosion rates, while at the same time, removing any scale that is currently present in your system, including silica scale. This will lower your energy consumption and reduce your utility bill up to 25%.
Vanguard Industries, Inc. is active in USGBC LEED certification programs. We have helped take buildings through the certification process and have LEED AP's and CEM's on staff to help you on your next project. Up to 6 LEED points can be attained using ZeroTek Green Water Management Program. Currently, with traditional water treatment programs, 1 point is offered when sub-metering the cooling tower.?CG Solution's ZeroTek High Cycle Technology treatment program does appear to be too good to be true. However, we have installations available for site visits and references you are encouraged to contact. With water becoming more polluted and more expensive, High Cycle Technology (HCT) will be the traditional water treatment program in 5 to 10 years. Please ask us for a free Water Savings Profile.
