FAQ’s

The fan housing must be meticulously scrubbed clean and disinfected. This is a common problem area; chemical treatment cannot always prevent bacteria or scale from getting a strong hold in these areas. Vapors from the air cause condensation to form, scale & biological growth can be difficult to remove with traditional on-line treatment programs. All Kote will clean and disinfect this area in an effort to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens and minimize the risk of corrosion.

Tower basins need to be cleaned and disinfected as well. These large volume areas are particularly critical as they see a large amount of the cooling water. This area pools and allows bacteria to grow. This water is also warm, oxygen rich and provides a great breeding ground for biological activity. Cleaning, disinfecting and adding the proper chemicals to the end or startup of your cooling season can only enhance your overall water treatment program. This means you will avoid potential downtime doing unnecessary maintenance during the operating season.

If the interior of a cooling tower is corroding, rusting, or leaking a liner can be installed to terminate corrosion and seal all leaks. They are a unique multi-component epoxy designed to quickly and permanently seal, repair, and repair leaking and corroded towers. Cold water basins, side casing panels, and hot water basins can all be coated to terminate corrosion, stop leaks, and extend the life of your cooling tower.

Leaking cooling towers can damage surrounding areas and roofs and incur excessive water usage and waste. A liner terminates leaking and prevents further rusting in the hot or cold water basins. They also help reduce water usage and loss of chemically treated water. All of this adds up to longer equipment life and lower operating costs.

These areas can easily become clogged with debris that is not effectively removed from the system through normal filtration. All distribution pans should be opened and cleaned providing increased water flow. Reduction in flow from clogged distributors can reduce the tower ability to cool water tremendously. Left untreated, this can cause major increases in energy usage.

Complete Water Solutions innovative cooling tower pack cleaning system has been specially developed to allow the cleaning of cooling tower pack components. This high performance cleaning service is especially useful where it is not practical to remove the tower fill packing.

Complete Water Solutions cooling tower chemical cleaning service works to create a highly effective, stabilized wet foam that penetrates deep into the tower packing cleaning, descaling and disinfecting as it progresses through the tower. The foam is mildly acidic so as to remove inorganic scales.
