Cooling tower water treatment often uses a variety of mechanical filtration and side-stream filtration methods, but the performance and effect of your water treatment are often dependent on what chemicals you use. Chemically treating cooling tower water helps to balance the chemical properties of the water itself, putting it in the right state for other methods of treatment. Here are the main chemicals that are frequently used in cooling tower water treatment:

Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors

If you want to prevent the degradation of your cooling tower, corrosion and scale inhibitors such as our products can help delay or prevent scale formation within your system. Low dosages of only a few ppm or less are often all that’s needed to prevent cooling tower scale for extended periods of time, making these products highly efficient.

Algaecides and Biocides

Controlling microbiological growth is key to maintaining optimal water conditions. Using carefully selected biocides in conjunction with dispersants, you can control any buildup and the resulting bio-corrosion that occurs under slime deposits. For total system control, you can have both oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides depending on your water treatment needs.

pH Adjusters

Alkalinity adjusters or pH adjusters can help reduce the corrosion in a cooling tower, as lower pH levels can accelerate corrosion. we recommends keeping your cooling tower water at a pH of around 10 or above. If you need to increase the pH level of your water, you can use an alkalinity adjuster
