Description
The use of physical water treatment technologies for water-cooled cooling towers is growing the U.S. and has been more widely used primarily in the EU where restrictions on chemical discharge and environmental policies encouraging lower chemical usage are wide spread. Physical Water Treatment technologies if properly applied can offer advantages in controlling the primary water metrics of scale, corrosion, fouling and bacteria when applied properly for water, energy and chemical usage savings in cooling towers.
