COOLING WATER SOLUTIONS
The pressures to achieve improved reliability and performance of cooling water systems while reducing costs have never been greater. When left uncontrolled, corrosion and deposition can lead to unscheduled maintenance and turnarounds, production bottlenecks and significant capital expenses. Further, without effective processes and treatment to control microbiological growth, businesses could expose their employees and community to health risks.
GE Water & Process Technologies' cooling water treatment puts people, products and technologies to work to maximize performance in your critical cooling systems and give you a competitive edge, while maintaining regulatory compliance.
With this complete offering, GE helps you achieve:
- Peak heat exchanger efficiency
- Effective corrosion and deposition control
- Prevention of microbiological fouling
- Minimum risk of Legionella
The OnPoint cooling water treatment solution is an automated system that combines powerful chemical treatments - like our proven halogen-stable corrosion inhibitors - with the latest in automation, monitoring and diagnostic technologies.
- GE-exclusive Pacestter Platinum chemical feed control optimizes treatment feed rates automatically and continuously based on changing process conditions.
- A heat exchanger predictive diagnostics tool helps us choose the optimum treatment approach for fouling prevention.
- Our web-based remote monitoring and diagnostic system collects, stores and reports data that shows you how well your treatment programs are performing relative to your key performance indicators.
This integrated system provides continuous feedback, which we use to maintain optimum cooling performance and improve your process. Only GE gives you this combination of cooling water treatment expertise and ground-breaking process control technology.
FUEL FLEXIBILITY SOLUTIONS
Gas, oil and coal prices are more volatile than ever. A GE Water & Process Technologies Fuel Flexibility program can give you more control and improve your profitability. We help you get more from the fuel you're using, or switch to a less expensive fuel at no sacrifice to reliability or emissions compliance.
Drawing on our heritage as a world leader in generating equipment, we offer chemical and equipment management solutions for each step of the combustion process:
- Pre-combustion fuel treatments: Wetting and foaming agents for dust control, surfactants for coal flow and anti-sludge, anti-oxidant binders for coal fire prevention, and biocides to address microbe growth in light-fuel storage tanks.
- Combustion enhancements: Treatments to address slagging and fouling, plus diagnostic modeling.
- Post combustion treatments: Technologies to reduce particulate, NOx and SO3 emissions, pre-vent resistivity and agglomeration, enhance ash drying, and prevent corrosion.
