Ozone application in cooling water treatment is a good option for water quality control. Especially important is the prominent role it plays in the reduction of microbes.
The circulating water of cooling tower systems has always been an ideal place for growth of microorganisms. The warm temperature of the water and the addition of nutrients from the scrubbed air flowing through the tower provide a virtual breeding ground for all sorts of microbes and algae. In turn, these organisms multiply quickly.
The result is a degraded system efficiency due to blockage of flow, shortened equipment life due to corrosion, increased operating cost due to higher pumping power requirements, and the spread of disease.
