Why use ProMoss in Cooling Towers
Cooling towers are one of the most important pieces of equipment in an industrial HVAC system and require ongoing chemical treatment. The problem with using chemical treatment is that they are toxic pollutants that can otherwise taint the environment. If you’re looking for green alternatives or innovative ways to improve your HVAC operation, ProMoss is a natural and non toxic alternative to conventional water treatment that provides similar results and no hassle.
What is ProMoss?
ProMoss is a plant that produces a similar treatment effect as industrial water treatment chemicals. Made of Sphagnum moss, this plant secretes an enzyme which blocks organic growth in water. The moss grows in the midwest United States and is self-sustaining with a virtually endless supply. It is the only carbon negative alternative in the water treatment industry and can reduce the use of chemicals in most cases down to zero.
How Does ProMoss Work?
ProMoss works by absorbing cationic (positively charged) dissolved elements such as Calcium and Iron acting as a water softener. In addition to this function, ProMoss also:
- Filters some suspended particles
- Keeps bacteria free floating in the bulk water where it does not thrive in community or inside a host
- Inhibits and removes scale and organic contamination
- Inhibits corrosion
- Reduces disinfection byproducts
- Absorbs 10 times its dry weight in oil and 20 times its dry weight in water
