P-Range Commercial
The P range has been designed to treat limescale, in commercial applications with large pools of water and in industrial settings i.e. cooling towers, swimming pools. This P Range is more powerful than the C Range and will reduce algae and bacteria in the water.
Common applications of the AquaKlear P-Range:
- Commercial Swimming Pools
- Cooling Towers
- Large & complex limescale applications
Cooling Tower Case Study
The site has 3 Baltimore TXV-500 cooling towers with total capacity of 9 megawatt, which work by the process of evaporation. So-called ‘wet’ cooling towers, they allow a portion of cooling water to evaporate into a moving stream of air.
The cooling system experienced extreme limescale build up, which impaired the efficiency of the air conditioning system. This is due to the extreme water-hardness and high level of calcium in the region. This increased energy output, operating costs, and resulted in the system needing to be cleaned regularly using strong chemicals.
Monthly cleaning costs exceeded 2,500 Euros, plus the extra utility costs for topping up the system and the removal of chemical waste. Municipal drinking water was being used for topping-up the cooling towers because the hardness of the ground water, which therefore also increased the metered water costs.
Each cooling tower was installed with a Custom designed ‘P’ unit. A standard P unit was also installed on the side filtration, to enhance flocculation of the extra debris brought by air suction and to aid filtration. A C60 unit was installed to protect customer bathroom water systems.
The cooling system has seen significant improvements following the installation of the P series units. No new limescale had formed in the pipes of the cooling towers and the existing scale softened, which is easy to filter and wipe away – along with debris and algae.
This has significantly reduced maintenance and energy costs at the shopping centre, removing the need for expensive chemicals and improved the efficiency of the cooling system. The C60 unit significantly reduced limescale build up on the self-pouring taps in the shopping centre’s toilets.
The cooling system now runs efficiently using ground water supply only.
“Water in the cooling towers is now crystal clear. Almost as good as drinking water – and that’s no joke!”
