A Cooling System Analytical Service Visit is an important aspect of water treatment program of control for a cooling system. FlowAqua are experts in water treatment and can offer our services to analyse various parameters to ensure its optimal performance, efficiency, and safety. During our service visits, your FlowAqua specialist consultants will collect data, conduct tests, and provide recommendations based on their analysis. Here are some key aspects of FlowAqua’s Cooling System Analytical Service Visit:

• Initial Inspection: Consultants inspect the entire cooling system, including cooling towers, heat exchangers, pumps, pipes, and associated components, to identify visible issues or potential areas of concern.
• Water Sampling: Consultants collect water samples from different points in the cooling system. These samples are analysed to assess parameters are in control and ensure the system is operating safely and therefore maintaining compliance with HSE guidance.
• Microbiological Analysis: Water samples are analysed for the presence of bacteria and Legionella bacteria routinely as part of your written scheme of control programme.
• Chemical Analysis: The chemical composition of the cooling water is analysed, focusing on parameters like corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, biocides, and other treatment chemicals. The effectiveness of the existing chemical treatment program is evaluated.
• Physical Parameters Measurement: Consultants measure physical parameters such as water temperature, flow rates, sensor readings and chemical stocks.
• Equipment Performance Assessment: Performance of cooling system equipment is evaluated, including the efficiency of pumps, fans, and heat exchangers. Any signs of wear, damage, or inefficiency will be reported to our customers.
• Data Analysis: The collected data is analysed to assess the overall health of the cooling system over prolonged periods of time and reported to our customers during review meetings.
• Recommendations and Report: Based on the analysis, FlowAqua consultants provide a detailed report outlining their findings. This report includes recommendations for corrective actions, adjustments to the chemical treatment program, equipment repairs or replacements, and any necessary operational changes.
• Consultation: Consultants will discuss their findings with the responsible personnel to explain the results, discuss the recommendations, and answer any questions.
• Follow-Up Plan: A follow-up plan is established, outlining the timeline for implementing recommended actions. This plan may include a schedule for future service visits to monitor progress and make further adjustments if necessary.

A Cooling System Analytical Service Visit is crucial for maintaining the efficiency, safety, and longevity of cooling systems, especially in industrial and commercial settings where these systems play a vital role in various processes. Regular analytical service visits help prevent issues, reduce energy consumption, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.

When it comes to selecting a chemical programme for an evaporative cooling system, it’s essential to use the right products to ensure the system operates efficiently and safely. Evaporative cooling systems, such as cooling towers and evaporative condensers, require specific chemicals to prevent scale formation, corrosion, and the growth of harmful microorganisms, including Legionella bacteria. Contact FlowAqua today to discuss your cooling water treatment requirements and arrange a site survey visit by one of our representatives.

Chemical Programme Options:

Cleaning and disinfection of cooling systems are critical maintenance activities to ensure the system operates efficiently, maintains optimal performance, and meets health and safety standards. Here is an overview of the steps FlowAqua typically undertake when cleaning and disinfecting cooling systems:

• Risk Assessment
• Shutdown and Draining
• Pre Work Assessment
• Physical and Chemical Cleaning
• Post Work Assessment
• Disinfection
• Re-Commissioning
• Inspection and Quality Check
• Documentation

FlowAqua complete clean and disinfection services with experienced professionals that are following industry best practices and relevant guidance. Our photographic reports provide pre and post assessments to demonstrate the system condition at it’s worst and best. This offers an excellent level of reporting to help customers maintain compliance.
