Cooling Tower Cleaning

Cooling towers are an essential component of any residential or commercial building. These specialized units work by bringing air to evaporate water together to reduce the temperature of the residual water. While cooling towers are highly efficient at rejecting heat-producing cooling water, they are not maintenance-free. Over time, airborne dirt, nutrients and debris may collect within different components of the cooling tower. If these contaminants are not removed through cooling tower cleaning, corrosion and blockages can develop that may impair operating efficiency.

At Tower Water, we offer professional cooling tower cleaning services to building and business owners throughout Northern and Central New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New York metro area.

Why Cooling Towers And Their Equipment Require Cleaning

contractor cleaning a cooling towerIdeally, you should have your cooling tower cleaned at least twice per year. Operating a clean cooling tower will directly impact energy efficiency which can result in savings over time. In addition, cooling tower cleaning can prolong the life of your cooling tower equipment and control the presence of dangerous pathogens like Legionella.

During the winter months, algae and bacteria can become dormant in your cooling tower. Once warm weather arrives and circulation resumes, this algae and bacteria receive the ideal environment for incubation. Corrosion can also develop if the equipment is left filled with water and untreated. As scale and corrosion build-up and eventually start to flake off, these rust flakes can clog and overflow distribution pans leading to increased water usage, reduced cycles of concentration and shorter equipment life.

The Standard Cooling Tower Cleaning Procedure

Cooling towers pull a massive amount of energy. When they are dirty, they pull even more. By cleaning your cooling tower regularly, you can restore efficiency and help lower energy consumption and prevent Legionella. Before starting the cooling tower cleaning process, it is important to power down the fans and inspect the cooling tower for problem areas that may require extra attention. Then, thorough disinfection is performed prior to cleaning.

Next, sludge is removed from the basin using specialized vacuums. These portable firehouses used to clean with high volume water, and pressure washers are used to finish the job. Lastly, post-cleaning disinfection is performed to reduce the risk of Legionella.
