Aqualogix Partial Softening 

The basis of savings for this measure is the cost reduction achieved by partially softening city water make-up to the condenser water system (“CWS”) and increase cycles of concentration (CoC) to reduce condenser water blowdown. Typical city water contains elevated amounts of minerals (most notably total dissolved solids, hardness, and silica) which limits its usefulness as a CWS makeup source.

As such, this measure includes both dual softeners, and a side stream filtration unit to partially soften, provide 5- micron filtration to the CWS system, and control system blowdown. increase the operating cycles of the cooling tower. This allows for reduced CWS blowdown rates, with a concomitant savings in sewer discharge.

With simple installation on a sidestream loop of the existing cooling system, our equipment controls the key parameters of conductivity, and blowdown to increase the existing cycles of concentration and maintain stable tower chemistry based on the incoming water quality.
