ORP stands for oxidation-reduction potential. It is a measure of the tendency of a substance to either gain or lose electrons in a chemical reaction. Learn about its importance in water treatment here.

Cooling towers are essential components of many industrial and commercial facilities. These systems utilize the heat exchange process to efficiently cool water. Learn more with ChemREADY on Cooling Tower Efficiency.

When it comes to Alkalinity in boiler water it is important to test its levels. If it gets outside of safe operating ranges; it will cause corrosion, embrittlement, and carryover with cooling water systems. where it has a significant effect on chemical treatments for scale and corrosion inhibition.

An overview of what you should know about water treatment systems while working in the water treatment industry.

Fluorescence is a valuable tool in detecting tagged polymers in cooling tower water treatment. The method is rapid, non-destructive, easy to use, and cost-effective, making it a useful tool for monitoring the concentration of tagged polymers to maintain water quality and prevent the growth of microorganisms and corrosion.

Spring and fall are times for normal cooling tower maintenance, as staff performs their normal shut-down-startup routines. While there’s typically a lot of focus on the equipment procedures, proper water handling needs to be considered as well to avoid not only corrosion but bacterial growth. Here are common best practices to follow during seasonal maintenance.
