Cooling Tower Water Treatment Chemicals

The cooling towers are used for cooling large quantities of water in industrial facilities. The water quality is maintained to ensure the proper working of cooling water. If contaminated or hard water is used for cooling, then it may affect the pump components and hardware of the cooling tower system, thereby leading to their damage in the long run. This is where cooling tower water treatment gains prominence. This is achieved largely using different types of cooling tower water treatment chemicals.

Our selection of cooling tower water treatment chemicals is proven to help users maintain high water efficiency, improve system longevity, and minimize their maintenance costs. In order to enjoy benefits, you need to customize the water treatment program to the specific operating conditions of your cooling tower.

How Does a Cooling Tower Work?

Cooling water is used in HVAC systems and different industrial applications for cooling purposes. The tower features coolant like falling water, which absorbs the heat that enters the tower from the sides. Some portion of the water evaporates during heat transfer. This evaporated water flows out of the cooling tower in the form of mist. The cooled water that remains behind gets collected at the bottom of the tower. This water is pumped for reusing in the industry or plant.

What Are Some Popular Chemicals Used for Cooling Water Treatment?

An effective cooling tower water treatment program may feature several chemicals. The following are a few common chemicals used for the purpose.

  • Scaling and Corrosion Inhibitors: Scaling is one of the common concerns for cooling tower operators. Water may contain different types of hard minerals. When it evaporates, these minerals sink to the bottom of the tower and start concentrating there. This concentration causes scaling, which may cause permanent damage to cooling towers if ignored for a long time. The water is pre-treated before sending it to the cooling tower.

Corrosion is also a big concern for process plants and HVAC installations where cooling water towers may be installed. This weakens the structure of the tower and leads to metal loss. Anodic or cathodic inhibitors are used to minimize corrosion. These inhibitors produce a thin layer of coating on the surface metal surface. This layer protects the minerals from depositing at the bottom or sides of the tower and prevents corrosion.

  • pH Adjusters: pH value of water is maintained at 7 in cooling towers. Any increase or decrease in pH values creates acidic or alkaline water. This acidic water will damage the tower parts during circulation.
  • Algaecides and Biocides: Stagnant water always serves as the breeding ground for the growth of several microorganisms and algae. Biocides and algaecides are dosed into the tower to prevent the growth of organisms and algae.
