Cooling Tower Systems
Cooling tower systems range in size and purpose from dealing with air conditioning in hotels to cooling power stations. However, they all perform the same basic task: they take heat from somewhere it is not wanted and dump it into the atmosphere. To do this they use water, for two main reasons:
- Water is abundant.
- Water is very good at storing heat compared to other sub Read more...
What is Fouling and How Does it Affect Heat Transfer Efficiency?
Scale and biofilm are referred to in the industry as a form of fouling. These however are not the only form of fouling that can occur. Fouling is simply defined as a process by which a surface becomes less efficient due to the accumulation of deposits on it.

Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable form such as oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually a metal) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment.

Produced and flowback water have recently become an integral component in the hydraulic-fracturing process rather than an expensive waste requiring transport and disposal. Water-management practices have improved considerably for each aspect of the oilfield water cycle with efficiencies being introduced that improve safety, economics and reliability.

Early spring is a good time for facility operators to prepare their building water systems for the warm months ahead and to consider safe and sustainable ways to prevent legionella. HydroFLOW controls legionella and algae in cooling towers, potable water systems and water heaters with a frequency that extends throughout the system.

The state of Texas banned water softeners in 2001, amending the law in 2003 to allow their use in homes and businesses under certain circumstances. High concentrations of sodium in sceptic tanks harm the beneficial microbes, which in turn affects its ability to break down solids.
