Our Premium Tennessee Cooling Tower Water Treatment Services

Cooling towers are heat exchangers that reduce the temperature of water by bringing it into contact with air. They are popular for industrial applications due to their cost-effectiveness. However, cooling towers are easily contaminated due to their exposure to the outside air. Airborne particles can enter the tower water loop, and evaporation then concentrates the mineral content. Organic growth, scaling, corrosion, white rust and fouling are damaging to cooling towers, but these factors can be prevented with treatment.

Chardon Labs’ cooling tower water treatment services for Tennessee businesses test for and eliminate each of these elements to protect your system. We’re experts at using cleaning, passivation and chemical inhibitors to eliminate contamination that results from a cooling tower’s continuous exposure to the elements.

Are you planning a new cooling tower system startup? Do you need a reliable and cost-effective water treatment solution for cooling tower heat exchangers? The well-trained, ISO-certified Chardon Labs service technicians will work with you to develop and implement a customized treatment solution for these common cooling tower system situations.

Serving Industries in All Regions of Tennessee

There is a wide range of industries in Tennessee that support The Volunteer State’s economic development. One of its largest sectors is manufacturing, including automotive manufacturing, for which Tennessee is the top state in the nation. Many large automobile producers have facilities throughout the state that support the region’s economy.

Health care, biotechnology and life sciences are also significant Tennessee industries. The health care industry is supported by surgical tools and pharmaceutical manufacturing and employs hundreds of thousands of people. Medical centers also contribute billions of dollars to the state’s economy.

These Tennessee industries all need water treatment services to support their essential water systems. When cooling towers, boilers, closed loop systems and other water systems run well, they promote efficient operation, higher quality work, minimal downtime and low operational costs. However, factors like organic and inorganic matter, pH level and bacterial strains can harm the water quality, causing damage and necessitating repairs to water systems. Professional water services are designed to treat these water systems to ensure their integrity and long life.

We’re Also One of the Top Boiler Water Treatment Companies in Tennessee

Boilers produce stream to create heat used for comfort heating, water heating and temperature regulation. Boiler water treatment services in Tennessee are important for preventing common problems that impact this process, including:

• Scale: Iron, calcium and silica impurities in the water adhere to the boiler’s heat transfer surfaces, creating scale. Because scale is an effective insulator, it makes the boiler ineffective at heating water, forcing the machine to work harder. Scale may also distort and rupture the tubes. Over time, scale may slough into the water stream, interrupting the flow and overheating the boiler.
• Corrosion: When the chemicals in the air and water react, it causes corrosion. This process leads to metal parts of the boiler developing pitting and wear, shortening the boiler’s lifespan. Corrosion can spread across the metal’s surface or be present in more concentrated pits — pitting corrosion is more destructive.

Our industrial boiler water treatment solutions include scale elimination procedures that will improve your steam boiler’s energy efficiency and prevent damage to boiler tubes. Our chemical solutions will disperse crystals and absorb dissolved oxygen to stop corrosion at the source. We’ll apply our blowdown process to reduce the concentration of dissolved minerals in feedwater, a leading cause of scale buildup.

Our service techs also have a wide range of water treatment options at their disposal to prevent general corrosion on metal boiler surfaces, as well as the more worrying pitting-type corrosion.

Boiler Chemical Treatment in Tennessee

The boiler system is linked to many functions in a building, and it’s important to maintain your boiler systems for optimal efficiency. Part of this maintenance includes keeping scale and corrosion at bay. Boiler chemicals are treatment options that can prevent damage and treat existing factors by addressing your water’s specific characteristics.

Your facilities in Tennessee need to keep up their boiler systems. Chardon can help your business combat scale and corrosion with maintenance and testing, using our professional equipment, ISO-certified technicians and extensive experience in the field. Chardon has your boiler system covered with boiler chemicals in Tennessee. Our chemical solutions address:

• Foam reduction: Dissolved solids can foam up in the presence of steam, reducing the boiler’s efficiency. Anti-foaming agents change the water’s surface tension, reducing foam.
• pH control: Water with high acidity levels is damaging to a boiler. pH neutralizers reduce acidity with sodium hydroxide to increase the water’s pH, protecting the boiler’s metal from corrosion.
• Oxygen control: Oxygen can cause scale buildup and metal decay, so this control chemical breaks the element down to prevent these issues. We have many oxygen control blends available, including food-safe options.
• Scale prevention: Phosphonate chemicals regulate calcium carbonate, inhibiting scale production. The sludge conditioner in the chemical prevents solids from settling, meaning scale cannot form. This solution may also have anti-foaming agents, PTSA tracers and dispersing polymers to prevent overfeeding.
• Return line: Consistent pressure and strong metal are important in boilers, and return line treatments will help ensure the presence of these conditions. We have many blends to suit different jobs, including food-safe applications.

Closed Loop Water Treatment Services for Tennessee Companies

Closed loop HVAC systems transfer heat through circulating water, and they are common in air conditioning and heating for industrial processes. Despite the name, sometimes chilled water, cooling tower water and refrigerant gas closed looped systems are not completely closed — they lose a small amount of water to leakage during normal operation. This leakage can cause bacteria growth, fouling and corrosion, leading to system damage and failure.

Chardon Lab’s closed loop water treatment service helps prevent harm due to corrosion and other factors. Our technicians will test your system to determine what procedures you need. Our cleaning and flushing procedure includes the application of chemicals that minimize the impact of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) that can eat away at closed loop system metal surfaces over time.

Among other testing and inspection, we perform pH and conductivity testing, filter testing and equipment replacement as part of our closed loop system maintenance process.
