Cooling Tower Systems

COOLING TOWER SYSTEMS Cooling tower systems range in size and purpose from dealing with air conditioning in hotels to cooling power stations. However, they all perform the same basic task: they take heat from somewhere it is not wanted and dump it into the atmosphere. To do this they use water, for two main reasons: [...]

What is fouling and how does it affect heat transfer efficiency?

What is Fouling and How Does it Affect Heat Transfer Efficiency? Scale and biofilm are referred to in the industry as a form of fouling. These however are not the only form of fouling that can occur. Fouling is simply defined as a process by which a surface becomes less efficient due to the accumulation [...]

WHAT IS CORROSION AND HOW CAN HydroFLOW HELP?

Corrosion Problems? HydroFLOW can Help. What is Corrosion? Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable form such as oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually a metal) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment. (Wikipedia) How can HydroFLOW reduce the corrosion [...]

HydroFLOW and wastewater treatment plant applications

Wastewater Treatment Applications Everything that goes down the drain eventually ends up at a wastewater treatment plant. You name it and it can probably be found somewhere in the wastewater stream. Dirt, food particles, fats, oils, chemicals and other less savory materials contaminate the water. This can cause a number of different issues for [...]

HydroFLOW applications - cooling towers, boilers and other equipment protection

HydroFLOW is a unique water conditioning device that is capable of providing many benefits. The reduction and prevention of scale build-up in many process industries and HVAC systems are not the only areas HydroFLOW has shown promising results. It has also been shown to improve crop yields in agriculture, and in ice machines HydroFLOW facilitates [...]

Chemical-free bacteria neutralization

Produced and flowback water have recently become an integral component in the hydraulic-fracturing process rather than an expensive waste requiring transport and disposal. Water-management practices have improved considerably for each aspect of the oilfield water cycle with efficiencies being introduced that improve safety, economics and reliability. Bacterial fouling is a common concern in both water [...]

More Hydropath, less polymer

*last updated 9/17/18 The Somersworth, NH, Wastewater Treatment Plant serves a city with a population of approximately 11,800 people. A city-wide collection system delivers the citizens’ and local industry’s wastewater to be treated at the 2.4 – million – gpd facility, which utilizes a GEA Westfalia Separator, model CB 505-00-32 centrifuge in its sludge dewatering [...]
