Cooling towers are integral to industrial processes, effectively regulating temperature to protect equipment and ensure operational efficiency. To maximize cooling tower performance, DelloChem Africa provides advanced water treatment solutions targeting common cooling system challenges such as scaling, corrosion, and microbial growth. Untreated water in these systems risks fouling, which can restrict water flow, damage equipment, and impair heat exchange efficiency. Our water treatment chemicals are specifically formulated to optimize cooling system performance and extend service life.

Our Range of Cooling Tower Treatment Chemicals:

1. ScaleCide
   ScaleCide is a powerful scale inhibitor and corrosion control agent for both open and closed cooling systems. This organophosphate-based formulation prevents the accumulation of mineral deposits, which can create insulating layers on heat transfer surfaces, lowering efficiency. ScaleCide’s active ingredients bind to calcium and magnesium ions, preventing scale crystals from forming on surfaces. By reducing scaling, ScaleCide maintains optimal water flow and prevents equipment damage, effectively extending the cooling tower’s operational lifespan.
2. BioDisperse
   BioDisperse is a multipurpose dispersant designed to address the challenge of suspended solids in cooling systems. Organic and inorganic particles in untreated cooling water can form deposits that restrict flow and promote microbial growth. BioDisperse keeps particles in suspension, preventing them from settling and forming sludge. Its chemical action enhances the efficacy of other water treatments, particularly antiscalants, by dispersing existing deposits. This product is highly effective during system start-up and in instances of system disturbance, supporting a stable and high-performance cooling environment.
3. BioGuard (Biocide)
   BioGuard is a non-oxidizing biocide that offers comprehensive protection against bacteria, algae, and fungi, which can thrive in warm, nutrient-rich cooling water. This broad-spectrum biocide is effective in both open and recirculating cooling systems, reducing the risk of biofilm formation. Biofilms act as insulators on heat exchange surfaces and are difficult to remove once established. By interrupting microbial cell function, BioGuard ensures the microbial load in cooling systems remains low, thereby preserving heat exchange efficiency and protecting the integrity of system materials.
4. CorroCide
   CorroCide provides corrosion inhibition specifically for open cooling systems, especially effective with metal-based systems, including ferrous alloys. This inorganic formula neutralizes corrosive agents and forms a protective layer on metal surfaces, shielding them from oxidation and pitting. The protective barrier created by CorroCide minimizes iron ion release and helps stabilize pH levels in the system, thereby controlling corrosive reactions and enhancing equipment durability.
5. DeFoam
   DeFoam is an effective defoaming agent that manages excessive foaming within cooling towers. Foaming can result from organic contaminants, high surfactant concentrations, or operational turbulence. DeFoam’s unique coagulant properties reduce the surface tension, causing foam to collapse, thus preventing overflow and ensuring stable water flow in the cooling tower.
6. pH-Guard (pH Booster)
   pH-Guard stabilizes the pH of recirculating cooling water, which is crucial for preventing corrosion and scaling. Fluctuations in pH can lead to acidic or alkaline conditions that damage system components. pH-Guard incorporates bicarbonate buffers to neutralize acids and maintain a balanced pH, creating a corrosion-inhibitive environment. This balanced approach also supports other treatments, such as biocides and antiscalants, for comprehensive system protection.
7. ClearFlow (Digester)
   ClearFlow is designed for open circulation systems and is especially beneficial for fountains, decorative water features, and large cooling towers. This high-performance scale preventer keeps systems free of calcium carbonate and iron oxide deposits. ClearFlow’s active dispersant agents also remove clay and organic material, ensuring that water flow remains unimpeded and system aesthetics and functionality are preserved.

DelloChem’s comprehensive range of cooling system chemicals ensures that industrial cooling towers operate efficiently, minimizing operational risks and protecting critical assets. Our formulations provide precise chemical control for managing scaling, corrosion, microbial growth, and more, ultimately enabling a sustainable and productive cooling environment.
