I have heard that ozone water treatment can extend the life of our cooling tower. Can you please explain?

The use of ozone can extend the life of your cooling tower, in addition to offering significant operational and maintenance savings and environmental benefits. Cooling towers associated with chillers for air-conditioning are ideal applications for ozone water treatment.

Ozone acts as a powerful biocide that decreases or virtually eliminates the need to routinely remove water from the cooling tower to decrease the buildup of organic and mineral solids in the system. Ozone treatment can also reduce the need for chemical additives added to the cooling tower water. Ozone not only reduces bacteria in the cooling tower, but it can also increase efficiency and lifespan by minimizing the buildup of biofilm on the heat exchanger surfaces.

The cost saving benefits of ozone water treatment are:

  1. extended lifespan of the cooling tower,

  2. reduction in energy use,

  3. increased cooling tower efficiency,

  4. reduced maintenance,

  5. reduced chemical costs and

  6. reduced wastewater dumping fees given it can help meet municipal regulatory compliance.
