Cooling Water Program Optimization

Andrew Leach - Executive Product Manager, Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions

An effective cooling water program is essential to any industrial operator and can result in many operational, financial, and environmental benefits. These benefits can include minimizing the total cost of ownership, maximizing output, protecting assets, improving reliability, extending run-lengths, maximizing equipment life, water, energy, and chemistry savings, as well as positive impacts on social responsibility, safety, health, and the environment. To achieve these outcomes, water treatment professionals strive to address and mitigate challenges that can be faced in cooling water systems such as corrosion, deposition, and biological activity.

A holistic cooling water program is required to accomplish these outcomes, which include operating under optimum conditions, applying the right chemistries and dosages, monitoring key performance metrics, and making appropriate adjustments to the treatment program via timely data-driven decisions.

In this session, Veolia will review the in’s and out’s of an effective cooling water program, the negative impacts and consequences of corrosion, deposition, and biological activity, and review how a holistic cooling program can lead to the optimization of the cooling water system operation and realization of the associated benefits.
