Closed water systems, which are used in ventilation, air conditioning, manufacturing and power generation, depend on constant water circulation to provide cooling. However, these systems can gather pollutants over time, which can cause problems like corrosion and microbial development.
Specialised chemicals for water treatment are necessary to address these issues. Blue Reef Water Solutions is a leading South African water treatment company that offers chemicals and engineering solutions for water systems. We are a Level 2 B-BBEE company that is committed to social responsibility and environmental sustainability.
Why chemical treatment is needed for water systems
While closed water systems are protected from outside pollutants, internal problems can negatively affect their lifespan and function. Among these issues are:
- Corrosion – Metal components exposed to untreated water may corrode, resulting in leaks, shortened system lifespans, and expensive repairs.
- Microbial growth – Warm, stagnant water can be a breeding ground for bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms that can cause fouling, odour issues, and even pose a health concern.
To keep the system operating at its best and avoid these problems, chemical treatment is necessary.
Chemicals for water systems
- Liquid treatment – This mildly alkaline solution is a nitrite-based corrosion inhibitor that provides a complete treatment for closed water systems. It is intended to stop limescale from forming, protect metal surfaces from corrosion, and regulate microbial development. When used correctly, this liquid controls the pH level to protect metals such as aluminium and zinc.
- Powder treatment – This product provides the same advantages of corrosion inhibition, scale avoidance, and biocide, but it is easier to handle and store.
The two products’ physical forms are the main difference between them, but both are intended to keep closed cooling systems’ water quality at its ideal level. The decision between liquid and powder comes down to details like application technique, storage area, and water quality.
