Cooling Tower Water Treatment

Eliminate chemical usage and get our ProCare-LP™ "E" series to treat your cooling tower water systems.

Cooling tower systems can provide an ideal environment for the growth of Legionella pneumophila (cause of Legionnaires’ disease) and algae. This can pose lethal health risk to employees, contractors, customers or members of the general public who have been in or near buildings with a cooling tower system.

In the past, cooling tower owners usually learned of cases of Legionnaires’ disease when public health officers from a Department would investigate possible sources of infection associated with their location. (See Cooling Tower Risk Factors)

Example of Cooling Tower Installation.

Cooling tower example data provided by client:

• Brand Example: Baltimore Aircoil®
• 750 tone cooling tower / 25,000 gal.
• Evaporative rate ± 10-20 gal/min (14,400 - 28,800 gal/day)
• Static loop of 3000 gal.
• System is on 12-inch pipes made out of PVC and/or steel

System Needs Analysis Example:
The daily water volume is approximately 54,000 gal/day. Needs analyses concluded that they will require 2 pairs of electrodes (4). This is the minimum number required to reach appropriate concentrations of copper (Cu2+) and silver (Ag+) in the system.

The DCU (Dissipation Control Unit) will be calibrated in order to deliver the proper dissipation ratio of Cu2+ 0.5 PPM and Ag+ 0.05 PPM into the water system and therefore become an effective biocide.

The AquaLyse™ E2 System would be the appropriate system for the water usage. The ICC (Ionisation Chamber Cell) should be installed on the return pipe before the water enters the cooling tower. The configuration for the installation is a simple open bypass from your 12” pipe to a 2” pipe which leads to the ICC. A circulating pump (Commonly used brand: Armstrong) of 60GMP, or alternate brand of pump; will be required in order to create an appropriate flow in the 2-inch open bypass pipe. “Butterfly” or “Bull” valves are to be installed at both ends of the bypass in order to cut water circulation when maintenance of the electrodes is required.
