Indiana Boiler Corrosion Treatment

Boiler corrosion occurs when metal is exposed to water and oxygen. This chemical reaction can cause rust formation, pitting and wear in the metal, and disintegration of tubes and other inner mechanisms.

Our customized chemical solutions can help prevent corrosion in commercial steam boilers. We use sulfite to absorb high levels of dissolved oxygen that often accompany pitting.

Additionally, our boiler water treatment products help distribute precipitated particulates and crystals. This process keeps materials from settling and forming insulating deposits that lead to corrosion and thermal stress.

Cooling Tower Water Treatment Services

Many industries use cooling towers to manage heat from different manufacturing processes. On top of problems like scale and corrosion, these systems can be prone to bacterial development. Fungi, algae and other contaminants commonly thrive in their humid environments.

All of these factors can lower heat transfer and efficiency. Moreover, bacteria such as Legionella can pose safety risks to people inside the facility, potentially causing harmful outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease.

After conducting an assessment of your cooling tower water system, Chardon can tailor a cost-effective treatment plan to your facility’s needs. These plans typically include chemical solutions with microbiological inhibitors, rust preventatives, and scale and corrosion inhibitors. We’ll also help you create a maintenance plan to impede future contamination.

Cooling Tower Water Treatment Equipment

State-of-the-art equipment and technologies are also necessary to keep your cooling tower running effectively. They can lower maintenance costs, prevent contaminants and extend your system’s overall service life. We carry the following cooling tower equipment and more:

• Bleed solenoids: A bleed solenoid helps ensure your cooling tower system bleeds correctly, minimizing contaminants in the water. Bleed solenoids contain motorized ball valves that allow you to activate and deactivate the bleed as necessary.
• Chemical pumps: Chemical pumps help you add the proper chemical quantities to your process water, making them essential for cooling tower maintenance. Our chemical pumps feature various automation levels to accommodate your system’s unique needs.
• Contact head water meters: These devices can help facilities determine the proper chemical feed for cooling towers. Preventing overfeeding and underfeeding can save costs significantly and reduce the risk of scale formation. A contact head water meter also helps you track cooling tower water usage more accurately.
• Probes: We offer specialized cooling tower probes to measure conductivity, potential hydrogen (pH) and oxidation-reduction potential. These probes enable real-time access to accurate pH levels to streamline water quality monitoring.

Closed Loop Chemical Water Treatment Services

A closed loop water system encloses process water inside pipes to maintain its quality and volume. Various factors such as pH levels, loop metal compositions and dissolved solids can cause pipe corrosion and leakage.

Leaks allow air to enter the system, enabling corrosion and bacteria to contaminate the water. Proper flushing and testing are pivotal to ensuring a reliable, long-lasting closed loop system.

How We Help Prevent and Control Contaminants in Closed Loops

Chardon provides high-quality chemical treatments for closed loop water systems to prevent these occurrences. We perform regular filter changes, pH testing and conductivity monitoring to avert corrosion and boost heat transfer efficiency. Our team uses equipment like filtration devices, biocide feeders and pH probes to hinder closed loop corrosion and microbiological growth.

We implement numerous techniques to optimize closed loop water systems, including:

• Dissolved solid solutions: Using different proprietary water treatment chemicals, Chardon works with dissolved solids in closed loop systems to render water less aggressive and corrosive. We also use compounds that create protective films on closed loop surfaces, protecting the metal and preventing corrosion.
• pH adjustments: We use various chemical solutions to help maintain noncorrosive pH levels in loop water.
• Oxygen removal: For closed loop systems with no air exposure, eliminating oxygen from the water is an effective way to reduce corrosion risk. Using the proper water treatment chemicals, we remove oxygen to help slow the spread of corrosion on metal surfaces.
