Water treatment for cooling towers are traditionally used for algae control, bacteria control and scaling control. Over the years as the world become more environment friendly, customers now prefers water treatment solutions that uses less chemicals but with better results in terms of preventing energy wastage in the chillers.

Fouling in the chiller tubes can waste energy. Biofilm and scale tend to build up in chiller condenser tubes, blocking heat transfer and causing the chiller to work harder. This problem can be detected by monitoring the approach temperature of the chillers. According to most chiller companies, an increase of 1F in the approach temperature is equivalent to 1.5% energy wastage. Efficient and correct water treatment is required to ensure that your condenser tubes are clean and the heat transfer in the chillers are efficient.
