Cooling Water Treatment
Most industries need the largest part (almost 90%) of their used water quantity for cooling. This immense water consumption clearly illustrates the essential role of water cooling for industrial production. Nowadays, hardly any branch of industry can manage without the cooling capacity of open evaporative cooling systems: the chemical industry, food industry, breweries, airports, data centers, etc.
In order to operate an evaporative cooling system as efficiently as possible, the consumption of cooling water should be reduced on the one hand and on the other hand the protection of the entire system against corrosion, deposits and biological growth should be increased. Therefore, a trouble-free, economical operation of an evaporative cooling plant requires an individually optimized water treatment for each plant.
Since 2017, the 42nd BImSchV – Federal Immission Control Ordinance – defines binding guidelines for the operation of natural draft cooling towers, evaporative cooling systems and wet scrubbers. Relevant systems have to be designed, constructed and operated in such a way that state of the art technology prevents contamination of the process water by microorganisms, especially legionella.
Operators of these plants have to meet the hygienic requirements as well as to ensure an economic operation of the systems. The treatment of the cooling water with different chemicals required for this purpose must be individually adapted to the respective plant and the prevailing conditions. To ensure that the chemicals used achieve the desired effect and at the same time the consumption of chemicals is minimized , continuous monitoring of the circulating cooling water is essential.
