At Chardon Laboratories, we offer expertise in cooling tower chemical water treatment. Cooling tower chemical treatment involves using chemicals to maintain water quality, prevent problems like scaling and corrosion, and control microbial growth. Our cooling tower water treatment services can maintain your operational efficiency and protect your system from contamination issues, such as biological growth, concentrated mineral content and white rust.
We do all we can for your systems to prevent and treat contaminants through proven procedures for various types of cooling towers. Browse our comprehensive services for cooling tower chemical treatments below to learn more.
“I have been extremely happy with the service provided by Chardon Laboratories. Domonic has been very helpful with all aspects of our systems, especially concerning Cooling Towers. My hope is that we can continue to keep working together for a…
Biological contamination, corrosion and scale are the three most common issues that affect cooling tower efficiency and compliance. Here is how we treat each one:
Cooling towers create ideal conditions for bacteria, algae and fungi. Legionella pneumophila, the bacterium responsible for Legionnaires’ Disease, thrives in warm, stagnant water and on biofilm-covered surfaces. Without biological water treatment, these organisms impair heat transfer and can put facilities out of step with their regulatory obligations. Our ASSE 12080-certified technicians collect water samples, identify contaminants at the source and apply targeted biocides to remove harmful bacteria and other microbial growth.
High conductivity, unbalanced pH and improper chemical treatment can accelerate corrosion in cooling water systems. Over time, corrosion produces metal debris, creates leaks and leads to equipment failure that disrupts operations and drives up repair costs.
Our corrosion control water treatment plan helps protect metal surfaces with a customized mix of corrosion inhibitors, including anodic and cathodic inhibitors. Where pH falls outside the noncorrosive range, we adjust it using alkaline or acid treatments to protect system components. For systems with exposed or vulnerable metal surfaces, epoxy coatings provide an additional barrier against corrosive water contact.
Scale forms when dissolved minerals, primarily calcium carbonate, concentrate on heat transfer surfaces. This buildup can reduce system efficiency and block tubes over time. Our scale prevention process in water treatment uses scale inhibitors, including polymer dispersants, phosphonates and phosphates, to interrupt the crystallization process and help prevent deposits from forming.
For systems with high alkalinity, pH adjustment with sulfuric acid reduces scale formation, while conductivity monitoring and controlled blowdown help us manage dissolved solid concentrations between chemical doses. When scale is already present, we remove it using acid-based cleaning treatments.
Your cooling tower may be due for a professional evaluation if any of the following apply:

We don’t sell chemicals, we sell clean systems.
Cooling towers come in various sizes to meet the cooling loads of a facility. Specifically, airflow direction, mechanical fan usage and fan position will classify the type of cooling tower required.
A cooling tower’s airflow describes how air moves through it. The primary airflow types in a cooling tower include:
All cooling towers vary in their air and water contact. The two primary types are:
