Chilled water treatment ensures water quality and prevents corrosion, scaling, and biological growth within Aqua Base Chemicals systems. Chilled water treatment is crucial for maintaining water quality and maximizing system performance with Aqua Base Chemicals. Here’s how we optimize chilled water systems:

1. Pretreatment

• Before entering the system, water undergoes pretreatment to remove impurities such as sediment, debris, and dissolved gases using filters, screens, and chemical treatments. Methods like coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration are tailored to the water source.

2. pH Adjustment

• Adjusting water pH (typically between 7 and 9) is critical for corrosion prevention. Aqua Base Chemicals adjust pH using chemicals like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide for raising pH and sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid for lowering it.

3. Scale Control

• Prevent scale formation on system surfaces with chemicals like phosphonates, polymers, and citrates that inhibit mineral precipitation from dissolved minerals in water.

4. Microbial Control

• Biocides such as chlorine are used to prevent microbial growth, which can lead to fouling, corrosion, and impaired heat transfer.

5. Continuous Monitoring

• Regular monitoring of water quality and chemical levels (pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids) ensures efficient system operation.

6. Blowdown

• Removing dissolved solids through blowdown helps maintain water quality. Make-up water is treated before entering the chilled water system.

Conclusion

Implementing Aqua Base Chemicals ensures optimal performance, longevity, and compliance with quality standards for chilled water systems, supporting reliable cooling across various applications.
