Water treatment for cooling systems

• Deposits and Scaling in Systems
  Scaling occurs in most cases when the dissolved salt content of the cooling water exceeds the threshold where it can be kept in solution. The deposits act as an insulator and cause energy loss – they can also lead to increased corrosion rates.

• Risk of Corrosion
  The passage of cooling water through the cooling tower means that the water is constantly oxygenated. This is a driver for metal corrosion. At the same time, the composition of the cooling water has a major impact on the risk of corrosion for the various metals contained in the system.

• Flow Issues
  The large intake of air in cooling systems means that airborne impurities are constantly washed into the cooling water. Consequently, suspended solids can be deposited in the system, causing flow problems and thereby reducing functionality in sensitive system components.

• Microbiological Growth
  The conditions in cooling systems are very close to tailor-made for microbiological growth. High levels of microorganisms can cause health problems and risks for the environment, while microbiological growth can also lead to a risk of reduced flow, energy loss, and microbiologically influenced corrosion.

• Lack of Microbiological Control
  Without regular control, the cooling system can develop into a potential source for the spread of Legionella bacteria, which can be fatal for immunocompromised individuals. The operation of cooling towers means that Legionella-infected cooling systems can infect people across a very large geographical area.

Guldager AdditiveCare – for boiler systems

Guldager AdditiveCare is a comprehensive solution for water treatment of open and closed cooling systems.

This solution incorporates a wide range of additives specifically designed to resolve operational challenges in cooling circuits:

• Corrosion inhibitors to protect the system's construction materials
• Scale inhibitors to prevent water hardness salts from forming deposits in the system
• Anti-fouling products that protect against flow problems caused by inorganic matter in the cooling water
• Microbiocides for the control of microbiological growth, including Legionella bacteria
• Biodispersants for combating biofilm

You will always begin with an initial, comprehensive review of your cooling system to map out all operational aspects and challenges – both technical and economic.

The technologies within the AdditiveCare program are combined with Guldager's extensive range of water treatment plants, dosing and control equipment, analysis and laboratory services, as well as our comprehensive service portfolio. This creates a total solution that ensures optimal operation of your cooling system without operational disruptions and with optimal operating economy.

This is a total solution providing you with a single, unified supplier of systems, equipment, additives, consultancy, and service.
