Water Treatment For Chiller Systems

WATER TREATMENT FOR CHILLER SYSTEMS

Protect your production from downtime.

You can see your equipment; it stands in front of you right over there. What you can’t see is the fluid that circulates within the equipment.

The water, or fluid, flowing through a chiller and associated system can often be overlooked, yet can be affected by many factors such as dissolved oxygen, pH imbalance and bacteria or bio-fouling.

Your system water quality affects the longevity of your process equipment, parts and components. As soon as water starts running through your system, it’s changing the properties within, so it’s essential it is checked regularly and treated correctly.

Implement a regular water treatment programme to keep your chiller system running smoothly and efficiently. Protect your investment and enjoy long-term savings!

WHAT CUSTOMERS THINK

“Before the ICS Cool Energy site survey and intervention, we were facing corrosion inside the metalliser and sludge-related shutdowns every few hours. We count on water treatment support and early warning of any deviations that can safeguard our continuous production.”

DAVID ALLEN Plant Engineer, IG Design Group UK

WHY WATER QUALITY MATTERS

PREVENTS Scale Build-Up: Avoid blockages and maintain efficient heat transfer. Scale over time can cause irreversible damage to components such as heat exchangers and pipework.
STOPS Corrosion: Protect your system from leaks, blockages, reduced heat transfer and harmful contaminants released into the system. Corrosion not only affects the performance, but the quality of your end product or process.
CONTROLS Bacteria: Prevent rapid component failure and system contamination.

THE BENEFITS OF WATER TREATMENT

Prevent system degradation by regular monitoring and treatment
Increase system efficiency
Increase the life of your system and equipment
Reduce maintenance and repair costs
Protect the quality of your process system with less downtime

WATER TREATMENT SERVICE

Our in-house water treatment service is designed to keep your process operational, keeping your industry running efficiently and reliably. We know full well that understanding the chemical makeup of what might look like water is complicated.

So we simplify this for you.

Take a water sample, or one of our team can take a water sample for you by calling us on 0800 840 4210*.
Our water treatment specialist will then have the sample processed and analysed to provide you with a report on the findings.
The report will identify a clear plan for remedial work for your approval, carried out by one of our 70+ service engineers across the country.

*Water sampling included in certain ICS Service Contracts

REMEDIAL WORK

The report is easy to read, and will indicate any defects that fall outside of the recommended parameters.

Typical remedial work could include:

Glycol, inhibitor and/or biocide dosing to maintain safe pH levels, inhibit scale, bacteria and corrosion.
Full or partial system flush.
Tank drainage, cleaning and refilling.
Side stream filtration installation.
Routine checks & chemical dosing to maintain water quality.

All works, upon your approval, will be carried out by one of our 70+ service engineers across the country.

SIDE STREAM FILTRATION

Should your systems show signs of increased suspended solids, corrosion, or other debris, there are a number of devices that can be used to remove such contamination.

This includes strainers, filters, magnetic filters, dirt separators, combined air and dirt separators as well so commonly found side stream filtration. All these have a role to play, and when applied correctly can have a positive impact on cleaning and continued protection of closed circuits.

A number of systems have side-stream filtration included at the design stage in order to safeguard some of the issues we have highlighted above. Such equipment is simple easy to install and has a simple process of solids removal. Side stream filters are designed to constantly pass 5-15% of the circulating water through a filter housing resulting in the total system volume being filtered 2 to 3 times every 24 hours.
