Boiler, Cooling, and Process Water Treatment Solutions
Water treatment is an important part of the preventative maintenance program for boiler, cooling, and process water systems. Our water treatment solutions protect these critical systems and lower the total cost of operation. Our custom designed water treatment program can significantly reduce your energy, water, and maintenance costs while ensuring safe and reliable operation. To better understand the benefits of a customized water treatment solution, let’s review the bottom line impact of not protecting these systems: Even small reductions in boiler or chiller efficiency will translate into huge increases in operating costs. For example, a mere .0312” of scale in a 1000 HP (boiler can increase annual fuel costs by over $80,000! A mere 0.005” of microbiological fouling in a 1000 ton chiller can increase annual electricity costs by $50,000. Whether the system is being used for comfort heating and cooling or for a critical industrial process, reliable operation is crucial. The high operating and maintenance costs of a poorly treated system are quickly dwarfed by the cost of production losses or an unexpected system shutdown. Waterside problems can result in unsafe operating conditions that represent a major financial liability. An effective water treatment program will help keep your boilers and chillers clean, and minimize energy, water, and maintenance costs. If you factor in the other benefits that are provided by effective water treatment such as safety, reliable operation, and extended equipment life, it should be clear that purchasing water treatment services on the basis of the chemical cost alone is very short sighted. A custom designed water treatment solution provides value that far exceeds the cost! How do you get a custom solution for your facility? One of our representatives will survey your site and evaluate your current operation. From your current operating data, we will suggest a program of products and services that will provide operational improvements that add value. In many cases, the savings available from implementing an improvement project will more than pay for your treatment program. The result is direct positive effect on your bottom line.

Ion Exchange and Filter Systems
Chem-Aqua manufactures a complete line of ion exchange and filtration systems to remove problem causing impurities in water systems. Pretreatment is a necessary and sometimes complex facet our engineering approach to water treatment. While water softeners for boiler feed water systems account for the largest percentage of our ion exchange related sales, other ion exchange systems that we offer include: Dealkalizers Demineralizers Condensate Polishers Hard water greatly increases the potential for energy robbing scale formation as well as blow down and treatment chemical requirements. If high makeup alkalinity levels dictate high blow down rates to prevent carryover and/or high neutralizing amine dosages to control condensate corrosion, a dealkalizer may prove a good investment. Determining the most appropriate pretreatment method for a particular system requires consideration of such factors as the quality of the incoming raw water, the boiler design and operating pressure, the required feed water quality, operator availability, and of course, economics. Our representatives will help you find the ion exchange solution that fits your application. Most water systems contain abrasive particles that can damage system components and reduce efficiency. The increased wear on system components, increased potential for bacterial & algal growth and increased system cleaning & maintenance frequency can greatly increase operating costs and ultimately contribute to premature system failure. These issues provide the basis for justification of a filtration system. Chem-Aqua offers a complete line of filtration solutions for most situations in the water treatment middle market. Our filter offerings include: Bag Cartridge Granular Media Filters Basin Sweeper Systems For Cooling Towers A filtration system greatly increases the effectiveness of your water treatment program by providing the following benefits: Removal of particulate matter that provides a matrix for deposit formation Removal of substrate and nutrients for the growth of microorganisms Removal of particles that can interfere with the performance of treatment chemicals Our representatives can recommend a tailored filtration solution that fits your application.
