Cooling Tower Cleaning Services
Cooling Tower Cleaning and associated cooling systems reduces the build up of accumulated nutrients; a primary cause of Legionella growth. Another problem is that certain water can contain salts such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, which are less soluble in hot water than they are in cold. This can cause deposits, and along with the scum that accumulates in cooling systems. This can drastically reduce their efficiency, which could affect production processes and chiller operations.Cooling towers are widely used because they are a cost effective way of cooling water in processes. Fouled cooling towers and systems have been shown to reduce efficiency by 40% to 50%.
This inefficiency increases operating costs which may not be in the budget.
Most companies perform a risk management process to determine the frequency of Cooling Tower Cleaning but it is generally accepted practice to clean a cooling tower twice a year.
In climates where a cooling tower is taken out of service over the winter months, the tower and cooling systems should be cleaned at the end of the operational season and then again before being placed back into service in the spring. This reduces the opportunity for Legionella growth.
