Cooling Tower Application with HydroFLOW®
HydroFLOW® enhances cooling tower efficiency by treating scale buildup, reducing biofilm, and optimising water cycles. It helps maintain heat exchanger performance, improves water quality, and minimises maintenance, leading to lower operational costs and sustainable water management.
Optimising Cooling Tower Systems with HydroFLOW®
Cooling towers are vital in a large range of applications, from air conditioning in residential or commercial buildings to large scale cooling in heavy industry and power generation. Cooling towers suffer from a number of problems which HydroFLOW® can address. A major issue is limescale on the heat exchangers, which reduces cooling efficiency and requires ongoing maintenance expenses. Additionally, there can be problems in the tower itself, either due to limescale again, to particulates or due to bacterial or algae growth.
Treatment with HydroFLOW® can prevent hard scale encrustation in the heat exchanger and on the tower and reduce the biofouling. This allows operation with lower (or zero) chemical treatment and higher cycles of concentration, reducing the money spend on sewage and drain down as well as chemical treatment.

HydroFLOW® Solutions for Cooling Towers: Sustainable Operation, Efficiency, and Fouling Control
Improves Heat Exchanger Efficiency
Heat exchangers are critical for maintaining energy efficiency in commercial and industrial operations. However, limescale and biofilm buildup can significantly reduce heat transfer, leading to increased energy consumption and higher costs. HydroFLOW® helps treat these issues, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
Disrupts Biofilm Formation on Internal Surfaces
Biofilm forms quickly on the surfaces of pipes, filters, membranes, and tanks. HydroFLOW® disrupts the early-stage adhesion process, making it harder for bacteria and algae to attach and grow.
Reduces biofilm in pipework, tanks, filters, and heat exchangers
Supports cleaner surfaces and improved water quality
Minimises bacterial colonisation and organic buildup
Improves system hygiene without chemicals
Keeps the System Running Smoothly
System inefficiencies and blockages caused by mineral deposits and biofilm can disrupt operations, leading to costly downtime and maintenance. HydroFLOW® ensures smooth, uninterrupted performance by mitigating these issues before they escalate.
Conserves Water & Reduces Blow-Down
Frequent water replacement and high blow-down rates lead to increased water waste and operational expenses. HydroFLOW® allows operation with increased cycles of concentration without the problems of scaling and biofouling, reducing the need for excessive blow-down while conserving water resources.
Maintains Operational Performance
Keeping commercial water systems in peak condition requires ongoing maintenance and chemical treatments, which can be costly and time-consuming. HydroFLOW® ensures long-term efficiency while minimising reliance on chemicals and reducing maintenance requirements.
Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly Solution
HydroFLOW® offers a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical treatments, providing both financial and environmental advantages. By reducing chemical dependency, water waste, and energy consumption, it delivers a cleaner, greener, and more cost-effective solution for commercial water treatment.
