Reliable water treatment in the cooling tower thanks to precise dosing technology
In conventional power plants, waste heat is dissipated via cooling towers and the cooling water is recirculated. Without targeted chemical treatment, this operation inevitably leads to corrosion, deposits and biological contamination - with direct effects on heat transfer, operational safety and system availability.
Continuous and needs-based dosing of inhibitors, hardness stabilisers and acids or alkalis is therefore a key component of cooling water treatment: it stabilises the water chemistry, protects the system technology and ensures efficient and economical cooling tower operation.
Challenges in cooling tower systems
- Corrosion due to unstable water chemistry and aggressive media.
- Deposits impair heat transfer and efficiency.
- Biological contamination increases cleaning and maintenance costs.
- Fluctuating pH values jeopardise materials and operational safety.
- Untreated systems cause efficiency losses and higher operating costs.
The solution from sera
- Targeted dosing: Dosing of corrosion inhibitors, hardness stabilisers, acids and alkalis for stable cooling water chemistry.
- Modular system: Flexible dosing stations for different system concepts and performance ranges.
- Media-compatible design: Chemical-resistant pumps and pipework, optionally gas-tight for outgassing media such as ammonia.
- Safe installation: Mounting panel with drip tray, optionally with base frame.
- High operational safety: Compact design, leakage monitoring and robust materials such as PVC, PP, PVDF or stainless steel.
- Easy integration: Wall or floor mounting for easy retrofitting of existing systems.
The dosing systems from sera ensure stable cooling water quality, protect cooling towers and connected systems in the long term and enable safe, efficient and economical power plant operation.
