Savings

Saving Water and Dollars    

Given how many resources they consume, cooling towers are capital-intensive systems, ripe for significant cost savings. Take a look at a conservative example —a 1000 Ton system*— comparing treatment methodologies.

Chemically Treated System with monthly human service

NOT SO GOOD

Cycles of Concentration: 3
Water Purchased: 17.7 million gallons
Water Purchase cost: $53,217
Water Discharged: 5.8 million gallons
Water Discharge Cost: $88,695
Water contaminants: 3950 lbs chlorine, 70 gallons biocide, 1000 lbs corrosion inhibitor
Service Cost: $8000
Sediment Accumulation: 1500 lbs
Power Cost to run fans/pumps: $512,460

IntegraCleanTM with monthly human service

GOOD

Cycles of Concentration: 6
Water Purchased: 14.2 mill. gallons
Water Purchase cost: $42,574
Water Discharged: 2.2 million gallons
Water Discharge Cost: $70,956
Water contaminants: None

Service Cost: $4200

Sediment Accumulation: less than 50lbs per year

Power Cost to run fans/pumps: $497,086

TOTAL ANNUAL SAVINGS: $48,816 or $126,513 if chemical-free blowdown is reused onsite to replace potable water purchased!

*Assumes 1000 Ton system operating year round at 75% capacity. Water purchase cost average $3 per 1000 gallons, discharge cost average of $5 per 1000 gallons, electricity cost average $0.12 kWh.

Additional savings may be realized with WaveTM water treatment that are not included in the above estimate:

  • Eliminates special gloves, clothing, goggles, eye wash stations, training
  • Eliminates danger of injury to employees when moving chemical tanks and barrels
  • Eliminates problems with chemical injection pumps
  • Eliminates MSDS records for cooling tower and special hazmat training
  • Eliminates ordering, transporting, and storing of chemicals
  • Reduces time involved in cleaning towers
