WATER IS THE LIFELINE OF ANY INDUSTRY.
In every industry, water is used in one form or other. Water is mainly used as a cooling medium in industries for equipments like heat exchangers, compressors, radiators, chillers, spot welding guns, diesel generator sets, furnaces, condensors, etc. As we all know untreated water can cause harm to the equipments and waterlines as it contains impurities like dissolved, suspended solids and biological micro-organisms. Due to these impurities, it causes problem like scaling, corrosion, algae and fungi deposits.
The main purpose of treating cooling water is to overcome the above said problems, which otherwise, leads to harmful effects like loss of heat transfer, puncturing of waterlines, pitting, irregular flow of water, reduced efficiency of cooling system, breakdown and finally, lower life of the equipment.

Scales in the cooling system are formed due to the salts like bi-carbonates and carbonates of calcium and magnesium which are present in water. As the temperature of the water rises, the bicarbonates decomposes to carbonates which in turn precipitates on metallic surfaces of cooling systems as scales. Silica, magnesium alkalinities, calcium sulphates, dissolved solids, rate of heat transfer and PH of the water, are the other parameters which accelerates the scale formation.
