Cooling tower water treatment involves the use of valve filtration and chemical products to remove toxic or other harmful impurities from the cooling tower system. With cooling tower water treatment, cooling tower overhead problems, including: biofilm and fouling, can be addressed.
Cooling tower water treatment systems typically control pH levels, corrosion, scale formation, microbial growth, and suspended solids to maintain optimal water quality and prevent equipment damage.
Filtration and Ultra filtration
Filtration systems are some of the most common water treatment options for cooling towers. Filtration works by letting water pass through progressively smaller spaces. Each filter contains holes that allow large particles such as sediment, rust, and Organic substances) cannot pass through the mesh filter, they will be trapped, and some filtering equipment is usually used, such as Y-strainer and some valves.
Let me introduce the valves commonly used in cooling tower water treatment systems.
Electric wafer butterfly valve: compact structure, light weight, easy to install, small flow resistance, large flow, avoid the influence of high temperature expansion, easy to operate
Electric hard sealing butterfly valve: bidirectional sealing function, it is not restricted by the flow direction of the medium during installation, and is not affected by the spatial position, and can be installed in any direction
Electric flange gate valve: The electric device is equipped with control settings, on-site operating mechanism and hand, electric switching mechanism. In addition to local operation, remote operation and wireless control are also possible.
Globe valve: It is an automatic valve, which can prevent the backflow of the medium.
Depending on the impurities present in the water, any combination of these treatments may best suit your facility and make up your treatment system, so it is important to consult with your water treatment specialist to ensure the correct system for your particular tower.
