A closed loop system encloses water entirely in pipes, without exposure to the outside air. It is used in many industrial applications, offering benefits like efficient water conservation and less equipment maintenance. Whether you are in quality control for a manufacturing facility, industrial plant, hospital or other commercial location using a closed loop system, Chardon Laboratories can help you maintain quality through water testing services.
The two primary concerns in a closed loop system are corrosion and microbial growth. Semi-closed loop systems face the possibility of scale and airborne contaminants, though the danger is relatively low. Testing identifies the presence and level of pollutants, enabling effective treatment. Common issues include black magnetic iron oxide mud deposits in narrow spaces, pH dips and bacterial growth.
The analysis also determines the levels of treatment chemicals and whether they are in the right proportions to deal with contaminants. Depending on your location, regulations may require closed loop water testing for safety and regulatory purposes.
We offer water testing for closed loop systems to determine system status and identify issues proactively to monitor system health. During this process, we test for:
We also test for closed loop inhibitors, including nitrite, diethyl hydroxylamine (DEHA) and molybdate, to ensure the proper concentrations. We will set up a customized schedule based on your particular system requirements.
Our experienced technicians maintain consistent testing procedures for reliable quality and results. We arrive at your facility with fully stocked service vehicles, including a test kit with clean, well-calibrated instruments. Our team members take representative water samples to test. In a closed loop system, the sampling location matters less because water at any stage should have the same characteristics.
After sampling, we test the water on-site to determine the concentrations of various compounds. We may also use the data to perform calculations and uncover additional system details. Our team consolidates the data into a comprehensive e-report, which you can view using our electronic service reporting system. We upload results quickly to keep you updated and enable you to take any necessary actions.
Our experts can construct custom treatments to address your situation based on test results. Every system is different, so we shape treatment accordingly. Our experts may recommend chemical treatments, such as charlumina, to limit corrosion and treat aluminum-loaded loop systems. Our services for closed loop systems include everything from testing to ongoing maintenance and emergency support.
A few reasons to choose us include:
While a closed loop system is generally easier to maintain, it still requires periodic testing to ensure that everything functions as it should. Call (380) 224-7395 or reach out online to schedule a consultation.
