Case Study from HydroFLOW USA

The Challenges

  • Chemical treatment required for control
  • Risk of scale and biofouling build-up
  • Deposits adhering inside the tower
  • Dependence on treatment chemicals

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® i160 unit was fitted to cooling tower 11 for a six-month evaluation. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond scale and biofilm to surfaces, so deposits loosen for easy removal and no scale returns after chemicals stop.
