Advanced Water Treatment for Cooling Towers
Maximize heat transfer efficiency and minimize operating costs with HydroTreat’s breakthrough oxidative technology—safer, simpler, and more effective than chlorine or ozone.
Traditional Chemistry Can’t Keep Up
Cooling towers have two primary objectives: maximize heat transfer efficiency and minimize operating costs. Traditional chemical programs make both harder to achieve.
Bacteria and organic deposits can reduce heat transfer rates by up to 40%, forcing systems to work harder and consume more energy. Meanwhile, chlorine rapidly dissipates, leaving systems vulnerable to recontamination between treatments.
- Chlorine dissipates quickly, requiring constant reapplication
- Biofilm buildup insulates heat exchange surfaces, slashing efficiency
- Scale formation damages equipment and reduces output
- Complex biocide programs require multiple chemicals and constant monitoring
- Hazardous chemical storage creates safety and compliance burdens
- Discharge liabilities add regulatory pressure and cost
Continuous Protection Through Advanced Oxidation
HydroTreat is a fully soluble, easy-to-use water treatment solution that integrates seamlessly into cooling tower systems without gas escape—making it safer and more efficient than ozone or chlorine.
By generating Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), HydroTreat effectively simulates an Advanced Oxidative Process (AOP) in a convenient liquid form. Unlike chlorine, HydroTreat continuously regenerates ROS, providing long-lasting residual activity and superior biofilm control.
The result: CFU counts reduced to fewer than 100, optimal ORP levels maintained between +400 mV and +500 mV, and clean heat exchange surfaces that perform at peak efficiency.
HydroTreat utilizes hydroxyl radicals—some of the most powerful oxidizing agents known—to destroy bacteria, algae, molds, and other pathogens at a molecular level.
Why Cooling Tower Operators Choose HydroTreat
Superior Biological Control
Eliminates biofilms, bacteria, algae, and molds instantly—not just inhibiting growth, but destroying contaminants at the molecular level.
Enhanced Heat Transfer
Prevents scaling and removes existing calcium carbonate deposits, keeping heat exchange surfaces clean and operating at peak efficiency.
Lower Operating Costs
Reduces chemical usage and minimizes maintenance needs. One product replaces your entire biocide program (except pH balancing).
Eco-Friendly & Safe
Green technology that leaves no harmful residuals. Decomposes organic waste into harmless oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water.
Corrosion Control
Protects metals and heat exchangers by reducing corrosion rates, extending equipment life and reducing replacement costs.
Simplified Operations
Eliminates complex biocide programs. Cost-effective, easy to monitor, and no persistent chemicals in system bleed-off.
Energy Savings
Boosts chiller performance by maintaining clean condenser surfaces, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility costs.
Regulatory Benefits
Ends discharge liabilities and eliminates chemical storage requirements, simplifying compliance and reducing environmental risk.
Improved Flocculation
Enhances sediment removal and overall system cleanliness, reducing maintenance cycles and extending time between cleanings.
Real Results from Real Operations
“Since switching to HydroTreat, we’ve eliminated our entire biocide program and reduced chemical costs significantly. Our condenser efficiency has improved measurably, and the maintenance team appreciates not having to handle hazardous chemicals. The continuous protection means we’re not constantly chasing recontamination issues like we were with chlorine.”
