Harmful Effects of Cooling Tower Biocide
Industrial operations use biocides to kill or control the growth of microorganism in their cooling towers. These chemicals are effective at what they do, but they also have a downside. As we’ve discussed in a previous article, cooling tower biocide can pose a threat to human health and the environment. Today, we will discuss an additional downside of cooling tower biocide.
Corrosive Effects
Another issue to be aware of when using a cooling tower biocide is their potential for causing corrosion in the system. While biocides are meant to control bacteria, they can also accelerate the breakdown of metal components in the cooling tower equipment. This can lead to increased maintenance and repair costs as well as the risk of equipment failure. Understanding the corrosive effects a cooling tower biocide can have on the system, management within industrial operations can make informed decisions about their cooling tower maintenance practices.
It’s essential for industrial operations to consider the negative effects of using a cooling tower biocide and take steps to minimize these risks. One way to protect human health and the environment while preserving the integrity of the equipment is to install an industrial hard water descaler. Industrial hard water descaling not only addresses the need for existing water scale removal, but it prevents new scale from forming.
The ScaleBlaster industrial hard water descaler is the world’s premier and trusted ecofriendly water softener alternative. It not only reduces the need for cooling tower biocide but also decreases overall maintenance costs. If you are ready to get serious about reducing biocides in your industrial operation, then the ScaleBlaster industrial hard water descaling system is exactly what you’ve been searching for! Our commercial/industrial hard water descaler is available by contacting the commercial / industrial ScaleBlaster dealer nearest to you or by e-mailing sales@scaleblaster.com.
