A cooling tower is a water cooling tower used in various industries. It is located in an open space, making it easy for moss to grow. Moss typically grows in the cooling tower basin and filler, potentially causing plugging in the distribution deck holes. This problem can hinder the water cooling process and decrease system efficiency due to uneven water distribution.

As moss grows, aerobic bacteria also proliferate, leading to several other issues, such as:

• Formation of slime
• Occurrence of biofouling
• Corrosion problems
• Decrease in fluid pH
• Reduced cooling efficiency

Solution
The growth of moss in cooling towers can be prevented by killing the moss and inhibiting its nutrient intake. The use of chemicals is divided into two parts: in the make-up water and the cooling tower basin. The right type of chemical and appropriate dosage can prevent moss growth. The chemicals that can be used are as follows :

Make-up Water
EonBac CT3445	Dosage 1.6 ppm, continuous injection

 

Cooling Tower
EonLine AG5770	Dosage 50 – 100 ppm, batch 1x per week
EonLine T722	Dosage 20 – 50 ppm, continuous or batch 50 – 100 ppm 1x per week

EonBac CT 3445
This is an oxidizing biocide chemical. It contains bromine as an active ingredient, which is more stable in water exposed to direct sunlight. It is effective in quickly killing microorganisms, including bacteria and algae, and can be used to address slime problems in cooling tower systems and other water treatment systems.

EonLine AG5770
This is a non-oxidizing biocide chemical. EonLine AG5770 contains TBZ (tertbuthylazine) as an active ingredient, which is effective in killing moss growth in cooling tower systems and other water treatment systems.

EonLine T722
This is a non-oxidizing biocide chemical. It contains CMIT (chloro methyl isothiazolinone) as an active ingredient, which is effective in killing microorganisms, bacteria, algae, and fungi in cooling tower systems and other water treatment systems. This chemical works by attacking the nutrients of microorganisms, bacteria, algae, and fungi.

Eonchemicals guarantees protection for your cooling tower against fouling, scale, and corrosion problems if mechanical, operational, and chemical aspects are carried out correctly and consistently. We provide consultation, assessment, and after-sales service to ensure these three aspects are always performed accurately and consistently.
