Cooling water
The primary objective of cooling water treatment is to facilitate efficient heat rejection and minimize water consumption. Cooling involves the transfer of heat from one substance to another.
Untreated cooling water can cause corrosion, scaling, fouling, and microbial growth in cooling towers, condensers, and heat exchangers. These issues lead to production loss and equipment damage.
These problems can be controlled using corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, dispersants, and biocides.
