Treating incoming water to the facility is a key first step to minimize the microbial contamination downstream. Chemstar WATER has been a trusted provider for secondary potable disinfection systems for many commercial and residential buildings. We utilize cutting-edge technology when solving our customers’ water treatment challenges such as water filtration and softening systems, demineralizers, dealkalizers, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis reversal, electro deionization, and electrolysis processes.
At Chemstar WATER, we are committed to minimizing water use and maximizing energy efficiency resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. When we deal with cooling systems, boiler systems, all of the improvements we make have a direct impact on water and energy use. We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good, is purpose-driven, and creates benefit for all stakeholders; our people, our communities, and our planet.
At Chemstar WATER, we design our boiler water treatment programs to protect the integrity of boilers and all related heat exchange equipment, such as economizers, air preheaters, deaerators, superheaters, and steam turbines.
Many leading industrial and government customers have been trusting Chemstar WATER with their large steam boilers for decades. As you will see in one of our case studies, Chemstar WATER delivers outstanding performance regarding scale, deposit, and corrosion control in the boiler systems.
Chemstar WATER addresses each wastewater treatment situation with a unique solution to ensure that the right handling, chemicals, and care are given to serve each customer appropriately and effectively. Our engineering team designs efficient wastewater solutions with the right chemical and service makeup while keeping the total cost and effectiveness in mind.
In industrial water treatment programs, effective microbiological control is one of the essential pillars — alongside scale inhibition and corrosion mitigation — needed for maintaining system integrity and efficiency. These three elements form a “three-legged stool” of water treatment. If any one of the legs is deficient, the entire system’s performance and reliability can be compromised.
Cooling towers are essential for industrial and commercial operations, but without proper water treatment, they are vulnerable to scale formation, corrosion, and microbiological contamination. These issues can reduce heat transfer efficiency, increase energy consumption, and lead to costly repairs.
At Chemstar WATER, we provide customized cooling water treatment solutions that optimize system performance, extend equipment life, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
