Open Loop Cooling Systems

Biological control is an important concern in many open loop cooling systems throughout all industries. The presence of heat and sunlight create excellent growing conditions for many types of algae and biological growth.

Biological Films and Slime

Biological and algae growth have the potential to cause problems in two completely different areas. The first area is the loss of efficiency caused by the build-up of biological films or slime on the heat exchange surfaces of your equipment. The presence of this film is as insulating as scale build-up and also provides a perfect “bed” for scale formation. This situation results in millions of dollars being lost each year due to poor efficiency. The system must be monitored and treated to gain effective control. Prevention of algae formation and biological infestation is the solution.

Serious Disease

The second area of concern is the presence of potentially serious diseases. Data and articles have pointed out that specific diseases can be contracted from inhalation of water vapor from these biologically fouled systems. The result can be sickness or death. Do not let this happen to your system. Do not let these potential dangers create serious health concerns for you or your co-workers.

Biocides and Algaecides

Rhomar Water Management, Inc. has a full line of biocides and algaecides. We stop this potential danger from occurring. The methods of control can be designed specifically for your application. These could include automatic or manual introduction of liquid biocides, solid chemistries, and ozone gas.

These are just a few of the products available through Rhomar Water Management, Inc. that will resolve your biological concerns. Our product line for treatment in this problem area includes liquids, tablets, granules, oxidizers and ozone equipment.
