Many manufacturing businesses rely on water for their everyday operations. As an example, automotive manufacturers use water for painting and finishing metal parts and cleaning processing equipment. Likewise, plastics manufacturers use different water systems — like cooling towers and closed loops — to maintain optimal production temperatures and prevent plastic components from overheating and melting.
In the manufacturing industry, high-performing water systems are critical for quality products and productive, efficient operations. Regular water system maintenance helps your company avoid expensive equipment breakdowns, downtime and lost revenue.
Chardon Laboratories provides comprehensive industrial water treatment services for manufacturing businesses. Learn more about our solutions below.
Manufacturing companies can encounter several challenges in their industrial water systems, which often lead to wasted water, energy, time and revenue. Here are some standard issues to watch for:
Fortunately, a trusted water treatment partner like Chardon Labs can provide ongoing customized chemical treatment, cleaning and inspection services to keep these costly issues from disrupting your equipment and operations.
Chardon offers customized water treatment programs for boilers, closed loop systems and cooling towers. Keep your water systems and manufacturing operations smooth and efficient with our tailored services.
The combination of a warm, moist cooling tower environment plus a high concentration of dissolved particles can quickly lead to an overgrowth of biological and mineral contaminants. They decrease the quality of your manufactured products, compromise the structural integrity of your cooling tower and cause safety issues. They can also lead you to spend a small fortune on cleaning, maintenance and repairs.
Chardon will help you develop a chemical treatment plan based on your building’s requirements and design. Our cooling tower water treatment solutions generally include:
These services provide numerous advantages for your manufacturing facility:
Boilers are critical in manufacturing processes because they generate the steam necessary to maintain the correct production temperatures. As water recirculates continuously through a boiler, though, the metal becomes susceptible to problems like scale buildup and corrosion-related deterioration.
Bacterial contamination is less likely in boilers than in cooling towers. However, mineral deposits in boilers can have numerous harmful effects, including uneven heat distribution, inefficiency, wasted energy, component failures and the potential for damage and injuries.
A boiler water treatment and maintenance program is essential for manufacturing facilities that rely on boilers. A chemical treatment program from Chardon Labs can offer many benefits to mitigate the issues noted above:
These services provide many advantages for your manufacturing facility’s boiler use:
Closed loops — including hot-water, chilled-water, refrigerant, geothermal and cooling tower water loops — often make up integral parts of different heat transfer systems. These loops are highly susceptible to corrosion.
Various factors relating to water composition and conditions can lead to corrosion — incorrect pH levels, system design, dissimilar metals, an abundance of bacteria or excess oxygen. As in other systems, excessive corrosion in closed loops can weaken structural components, causing leaks and component failures that require repairs.
Chardon Labs’ closed loop water system treatments offer:
These features offer several benefits for your manufacturing facility:
Waterborne diseases are all too common — annually, about 7.2 million Americans get sick from illnesses spread through water. Many of those cases are Legionella, or Legionnaires’ disease. This serious illness can cause symptoms ranging from fever, cough, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches and headaches to long-term fatigue and neuromuscular impairments. In rare cases, it can be fatal.
The cooling towers used in manufacturing environments offer ideal environments for Legionella growth. Chlorine will not kill these microorganisms, and they can often spread in process water undetected. Contaminated water can spread Legionella to employees via water droplets in the air.
Chardon specializes in Legionella control and preventative maintenance for manufacturing facilities. We offer proven testing and treatment programs to help you handle Legionella outbreaks and consulting services to reduce the risk of their occurrence. We’ll help you with regular cooling tower maintenance procedures and system designs to help keep Legionella outbreaks at bay in your facility, minimizing your system’s chances of an outbreak. Our Legionella control and preventative maintenance services include:
Some advantages of working with Chardon Labs for Legionella control include:
Your manufacturing facility might be looking into greener, more sustainable practices. Maybe you’d like to work toward Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Maybe you have clients who are enthusiastic about partnering with environmental leaders in the industry. Perhaps you want to do your part to reduce waste and preserve a healthy planet and its resources for generations.
In any case, chemical-free water treatments can help you achieve your eco-friendly goals. Using chemical-free water treatments for your cooling towers provides numerous benefits:
Chardon’s chemical-free water treatment solution for cooling towers, PowerPure, results from years of intensive research into a reliable and ecologically responsible water treatment product. It has undergone rigorous testing in many operational conditions and systems, and it effectively addresses all four main challenges common to recirculating water systems — scaling, corrosion, microbial growth and airborne contaminants. We are proud to back PowerPure with our official scale-free guarantee — it is safe and dependable for removing scale in cooling towers, chillers, piping and other relevant components and equipment.
Chemical-free water treatment is an excellent option for meeting your facility’s cleaning needs while maintaining green, sustainable practices. It helps you remove and prevent scale and corrosion while keeping chemical waste out of the soil and water, and it can be a great alternative to traditional treatments.
