Inadequate monitoring and treatment of cooling water can lead to hard-scale formation that insulates metal surfaces, impedes heat transfer, and under deposit corrosion. These conditions can lead to localized overheating, metal failure, and critical equipment damage. Our innovative, effective cooling water treatment products and programs, when properly monitored through onboard testing and complemented by support from Drew Marine, minimize problems such as corrosion, deposits, mineral scale, and microbiological contamination from occurring in cooling water systems.

The quality of produced freshwater can be negatively affected by scale formation from seawater, deposits, and brine carryover, which can lead to foaming and contaminates in distillate. Specific parameters should be monitored regularly in produced water in order to protect the health of your crew. Drew Marine’s best-in-class desalination and evaporator treatments keep freshwater production equipment at peak performance and enable the production of high-quality feed water and potable water. When our products and programs are used to treat freshwater production equipment, acid cleanings and freshwater bunkers can be minimized and can stop corrosion and red water from forming in storage tanks and distribution piping.

When untreated, boilers can experience damage from chemicals, oxygen inhibitors, scale formation, and deposits that restrict heat transferability and lead to a decrease in boiler efficiency — and even failure. Treatment and testing of boiler water ensures your equipment is protected, runs smoothly, and lasts for years to come.

From damage to your equipment to negative impacts on your crew’s health, failing to properly and routinely test water can impact your entire operation and cause maintenance and operation costs to skyrocket. Drew Marine’s superior specialty test kits for monitoring water quality keep your equipment running efficiently, enable the production of high-quality feedwater and potable water, and lengthen the life of your equipment.
