Optimise Cooling System Performance with Watertop®

Cooling systems are essential for maintaining operational efficiency in various industries. However, challenges like biofilm formation, scaling, and corrosion can compromise their performance, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential system failures. Addressing these issues proactively is crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of cooling systems.​

Understanding the Challenges

  • Biofilms: Microbial communities that adhere to surfaces, leading to reduced heat exchange efficiency and potential microbial-induced corrosion.
  • Scaling: The accumulation of mineral deposits that can clog pipes and heat exchangers, hindering fluid flow and heat transfer.
  • Corrosion: The degradation of metal surfaces due to chemical reactions, which can lead to structural failures and leaks.​

What Is Watertop®?

Watertop® is a comprehensive monitoring programme designed to assess the performance of water conditioning systems in managing biofouling, scaling, and corrosion. Using a mobile test facility, Watertop® adheres to the ISO 16784-2:2008 standard, ensuring a reliable and consistent evaluation of your system’s treatment processes.

By providing real-time data and insights, Watertop® helps you determine whether your current water treatment programme is effective and where adjustments may be necessary. This proactive approach allows you to optimise system performance and prevent costly downtime or maintenance.

How Watertop® Works

The Watertop® test facility can be deployed at any location and connected to existing cooling water systems in various configurations:​

  • Recirculating Unit: Assesses the effectiveness of chemical conditioning programmes against microfouling, scaling, and corrosion.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Monitors scale formation and corrosion by connecting only the heat exchanger unit to the cooling water system. This setup allows for visual detection of scale and corrosion, with tubes available for light microscopic analysis to identify root causes.

Key Features of Watertop®

  • ISO 16784-2:2008 Compliance: The system adheres to internationally recognised standards for evaluating water treatment performance, ensuring reliable results.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Watertop® tracks the development of biofouling, scaling, and corrosion, providing immediate insights into system performance.
  • Tailored to Your System: Watertop considers plant-specific water conditions, including material construction, local fauna, water composition, and temperature, to establish the most effective water treatment protocol.

Don’t let biofilms, scaling, and corrosion affect your system’s performance. With Watertop®, you can proactively manage these risks and ensure your cooling systems operate efficiently. Find out how Watertop® can help you optimise your water treatment process and improve system reliability.
