Biofilm cooling tower performance issues are one of the most damaging but often underestimated problems in industrial cooling systems. Biofilm forms as a slime-like layer of microorganisms on heat exchange surfaces, tower fill, piping, basins, and other wetted areas. At first, biofilm may seem like a minor water quality issue. But over time, it can […]

Cooling Tower Side Stream Filtration: Why It Should Be Standard
Cooling tower side stream filtration continuously removes suspended solids from open, recirculating systems. As a result, basins stay cleaner, fill remains open, and heat-exchange surfaces avoid insulating sludge. Consequently, heat transfer stays efficient, chemistry works as designed, and operators spend less time on cleanups and emergency outages. At a Glance: Why Side Stream Filtration Matters […]
Chemical Treatment in Cooling Systems: A Field Guide
In today’s industrial landscape, cooling systems are the unsung heroes keeping our operations running smoothly. Whether you’re managing a large industrial facility or overseeing a commercial building’s climate control, understanding chemical treatment in cooling systems isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for maintaining efficiency and protecting your investment. Why Chemical Treatment Matters At its core, cooling system […]
