Water Treatment Plants

Water treatment plants associated with cooling towers can face challenges with scaling and fouling. Water scaling, biofilm formation, and deposition of suspended solids can occur on cooling tower surfaces and heat exchangers. This can reduce heat transfer efficiency, increase energy consumption, and necessitate regular cleaning and maintenance. With Agitate's clean in place technology it prevents water scaling and fouling within the cooling towers.

Fouling can also occur in the piping and distribution systems of water treatment plants. Deposition of minerals, biofilms, suspended solids, and corrosive by-products can accumulate on the inner surfaces of pipes, valves, and fittings. This can lead to flow restrictions, drops in pressure, and reduced system performance. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the distribution infrastructure is required to prevent excessive scaling and fouling. With Agitate's non-stop cleaning technology this can be easily prevented.

Water treatment plants often utilise membrane filtration processes, such as reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), and ultrafiltration (UF), to remove dissolved solids, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. Fouling and scaling can occur on the membrane surfaces due to the deposition of suspended solids, organic matter, biofilms, and scaling minerals. This can result in reduced membrane performance, decreased water quality, increased energy consumption. But, with Agitate's clean in place solution the filtration system will remain de-scaled for longer.
