Efficient water treatment for cooling towers Sustainable solutions for combating legionella and biofilms with Hydro Intelligence technology
Cooling towers are essential for many industrial processes, but they can also pose a risk for the formation of legionella and other microorganisms. The sustainable control of biofilms and legionella is therefore essential to both increase the efficiency of cooling performance and ensure safety. With the innovative HI technology, we offer you a solution that addresses these challenges sustainably.
Safe operation of cooling towers: Protection against legionella and biofilm
Researchers have found that Legionella DNA strains have been detected in a large number of cooling towers. Our technology for combating legionella is based on the effective removal of biofilms, which form the basis for microbial growth. This not only reduces the risk of legionella, but also contributes to compliance with legal hygiene requirements.
Cooling towers in power plants: increasing efficiency and reducing costs
The use of our water treatment technology in cooling towers at power plants not only increases safety, but also energy efficiency. By simply scaling up to larger systems (5,000 to 6,000 m³/h), significant savings in operating costs can be achieved. Our systems increase cooling capacity and help reduce energy costs by making cooling water systems more efficient.
New legislation for cooling towers: fulfil hygiene requirements and remove biofilm
In Germany, around one million cooling towers are subject to strict legal regulations that oblige operators to regularly monitor their cooling water systems and fulfil hygiene requirements. Water treatment plays a central role in this. Our systems help to fulfil these requirements by effectively breaking down the biofilm and thus preventing the growth of legionella.
Our solution: Biofilm-free cooling towers for sustainable efficiency
Our innovative technology ensures that biofilm in cooling towers is broken down naturally. By using ‘thinner’ water, the biofilm is flushed, dissolved and rinsed out, preventing the formation of new biofilms. This technology ensures that cooling towers work efficiently and minimises the risk of legionella.
Further advantages of our technology
- Higher cooling capacity: Every additional degree Celsius of cooling capacity can result in significant cost reductions. Our technology optimises the cooling process and increases overall performance.
- Improved cooling performance due to reduced viscosity: The ‘thinner’ water ensures smaller droplets, a larger surface area and faster cooling. This leads to more efficient utilisation of resources.
Conclusion: Sustainable solutions for cooling towers
Our water treatment solutions with HI technology offer an efficient method of combating legionella and biofilms in cooling towers. By using this technology, operators can both fulfil the legally required hygiene standards and benefit from a higher cooling capacity and reduced operating costs. Rely on a sustainable and safe solution for your cooling towers to maximise efficiency and environmental protection.
