Fortunately, a variety of innovative, chemical-free treatments have emerged to address the challenges of cooling tower maintenance. Here are some of the most effective methods
The outbreak of COVID-19 has undeniably marked a significant chapter in modern history, altering the way societies function on a global scale. Since the World Health Organization declared the pandemic in March 2020, the virus has not only posed severe challenges to public health systems but has also affected social, economic, and psychological dimensions of our lives.
1. Chlorine and Chloramines Chlorine has been a staple in water disinfection for over a century. It effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. However, chlorination can also produce disinfection byproducts (DBPs), some of which may be harmful. To mitigate this, many facilities use chloramines, a combination of chlorine and ammonia, which produces fewer DBPs while maintaining effective disinfection.
The pH level of water can significantly impact its chemistry and usability. In many cases, it is necessary to adjust the pH to neutral levels for optimal treatment and safety. Chemicals like sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide are commonly used for this purpose. By balancing the pH, water becomes less corrosive and more effective for disinfection processes. This adjustment also helps in preventing the leaching of heavy metals from distribution pipes, thereby protecting water quality.
