Save time and effort with an automatic timer or sensors that reliably monitor your water usage and quality without constant supervision.
Chemical pretreatment of the feedwater typically takes place in the Feedwater Tank or Deaerator. This process is necessary to chemically remove oxygen and supplement any alkalinity required for quality boiler water. This step generally requires an oxygen scavenger and an alkalinity adjunct to ensure the feedwater is of good quality to reduce the potential for a multitude of corrosion possibilities.
Apply the correct chemical aids to neutralize charges and allow particulate to bind together with the goal of removing them from the water.
Many customers do not realize how much water is actually used in their systems, often using millions of gallons per year in their cooling process. Minimize water consumption and save on facility costs with the help of your Culligan service representative by maintaining proper conductivity setpoints and blowdown rates in cooling towers and tracking usage in closed loops.
Corrosion WILL occur in cooling towers and closed loops without chemical protection. Corrosion not only damages the equipment, it can contribute to issues with deposition and microbiological growth.

To protect the system piping network and capital equipment, a steam and condensate chemical is added to buffer the pH. These chemicals are most commonly a blend of neutralizing amines and filming amines which facilitate a buffered pH (pH of 7.5-9). Buffering the pH reduces the potential for the formation of carbonic acid, which is the main contributor of a system’s deterioration.
Foaming occurs when a water system with a foaming contaminant mixes with air. Prevent foaming from occurring with Antifoam or knock it out after it happens with a Defoamer.
