Chem-Aqua

Your cooling water treatment programme

Recirculating pumps, chillers and fans are the main energy consumers in water-cooled systems. Effective water treatment keeps the evaporation and condenser heat exchange surfaces clean and corrosion-free, minimising energy costs and allowing efficient heat transfer.

Cooling tower systems require specialised maintenance to ensure safe and reliable operation, including an effective water treatment programme.

A customised water treatment programme from Chem-Aqua helps maximise the life, efficiency, reliability and safety of your cooling water system, while keeping costs to a minimum.

The high cost of boiler scale and corrosion

Protect your boiler system from the harmful effects of corrosion, scale and carryover with a customised boiler water treatment solution from Chem-Aqua.

To insure safe, reliable and cost effective steam production, Chem-Aqua can provide effective treatment programmes for all types of boiler system designs and applications.

Chem-Aqua can set up and maintain your boiler treatment plan to protect your operations and water treatment investment.

Is your closed system losing water?

Hot water, chilled water, tempered water, process water and glycol filled closed loops need the correct water treatment program to avoid corrosion damage and maintain system integrity.

Closed loops that are leaking can waste water and energy while causing corrosion. These systems must be checked on a regular basis to ensure proper treatment level and system integrity.

Chem-Aqua knows that maintaining a water system requires more than just chemicals and testing to avoid long-term problems. It requires expertise and a team, get both with Chem-Aqua.

Are you managing Legionella risks?

Under certain environmental conditions, any water system could become a source for Legionella bacteria.

Chem-Aqua is a registered company with the UK Legionella Control Association (LCA) and can provide a full Legionella control programme to keep your facility safe and compliant.

We are now in a unique position for a multinational water treatment company to have trained experts embedded in many of the countries we operate in. We have experts in UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Turkey.

Microbiological Control and Biofilms

Microbiological control in cooling systems is a lot more than just biocides additions. Even systems with well-regulated biocide programs can experience serious problems because of hidden biofilm deposits.

Biofilms are communities of surface attached bacteria growing inside a protective microbial secretion called slime. Biofilms form on living and inanimate surfaces in every imaginable environment and are integral to the ecology of life. In cooling water systems, they are the root cause of serious and costly problems, affecting their safety, reliability and efficiency.

Biofilms are inevitable in man-made water systems: with their complex piping, redundant equipment, and continuous infusion of dirt, nutrients, and bacteria, water systems provide ideal conditions for biofilms to form. Once established, they are hard to remove. The only practical objective in water systems is to manage the biofilms, not their complete elimination.

Don’t battle against biofilm alone; Chem-Aqua will help you tackle the biofilms plaguing your water systems.

Ground breaking technology in the fight against biofilm

Chem-Aqua’s New Science and Technology R&D group have developed novel technologies to combat the threat of biofilms inside water systems. From unravelling the complex biofilm matrix to real-time quantitative monitoring of biofilm development, bioeXile^® and bioDART^® places you in the best position to stem the tide against biofilms.

bioDART has won the R&D100 Award, a prize presented to one of the top 100 innovative technologies of the year!

Our expert services make a bottom line difference

Offering our customers technical expertise and advice on best practices is one of the most important aspects of our work. The economics and technical success of any water treatment programme depends not only on the chemical and equipment selection but also how well the programme is managed.

Go green with Chem-Aqua!

With concern about CO2 emissions, global warming and employee health, being ‘green’ is at the forefront of many businesses. Water treatment can, however, become overlooked in the ‘go green’ equation.

Waterside deposits (scale, corrosion, biofilm), high blow down and water leaks are common problems that increase energy and water costs. An effective water treatment programme from Chem-Aqua maximises energy and water efficiency, whilst reducing associated carbon dioxide emissions.
