Our Rigorous Cleaning Process: Step-by-Step Protocol
Chemstar WATER employs a systematic, evidence-based process to restore cooling tower performance. Below is a detailed outline of our standard methodology, customizable to your system’s specifications:
Step | Description |
---|---|
Initial Inspection | Comprehensive assessment of tower fill, drift eliminators, basins, and water distribution for scale, sediment, and biofilm indicators. |
System Shutdown and Draining | Safe isolation and complete drainage to eliminate stagnant water, a primary Legionella risk factor. |
Chemical Descaling | Application of targeted, environmentally compliant cleaners to dissolve mineral deposits and organic matter. |
High-Pressure Washing | Mechanical removal of loosened debris from all surfaces, including louvers and heat exchangers. |
Biocide Disinfection | Deployment of EPA-approved biocides to achieve microbial control, with verification of residual levels. |
Reassembly and Startup | Reinstallation of components, system refill, and operational testing to confirm efficiency gains. |
Documentation Delivery | Provision of before-and-after photographs, analytical reports, and certification of compliance. |
This protocol, recommended every 6-12 months based on usage, ensures optimal operation. For specialized adaptations, review our custom equipment design capabilities.
Tailored Options for Diverse Cooling Systems
We offer flexible enhancements to align with your facility’s requirements:
- Frequency Plans: Annual deep cleans or quarterly touch-ups for high-demand applications.
- Add-On Treatments: Integration of corrosion inhibitors, filtration upgrades, or automated monitoring systems.
