Reduce Energy Cost with Water Treatment
The primary functions of aChemicalWater Treatment program for heating andcooling systemsthat use water as a heat transfer medium are the control of scale,corrosion and inicroorganisms.
Left untreated, water will cause scale or mineral deposits to form on heat transfer surfaces, thereby reducing efficiency and increasing energy costs. Exposed to untreated water, metal is subject to corrosion. The corrosion of metal equipment, such as piping, boilers, cooling towers, chillers and heat exchangers, leads to costly repair and maintenance. Similarly, left unchecked, the growth of microorganisms in water systems can contribute to corrosion and efficiency loss.
The growth of Bacteria such as Legionella Pneumophila can also lead to unsafe conditions for building occupants. Properly administered Chemical Water Treatment Programs have the added benefit of reducing water usage, especially in Cooling Water systems.
