Rockford Chemical Water Treatment Solutions 

At Chardon Labs, we provide a full range of services to manage all your chemical water treatment needs. We customize these solutions to your application and areas of concern to enhance the efficiency of your plant.

Our uniformed technicians arrive at the jobsite with a fully equipped and marked service vehicle, enabling them to work fast to minimize operational downtime. We adhere to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards during chemical handling and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulations of chemical drum disposal. This compliance gives you peace of mind, knowing that we will handle chemical treatments safely and leave behind a safe work environment. 

Our chemical water treatment process involves:

• Performing a comprehensive analysis to determine baseline water chemistry. We check for total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, calcium, silica and other contaminants. Since we are ASSE 12080-certified, our team offers Legionella testing in Rockford to improve process water quality.
• Creating a detailed report with the evaluation findings and recommendations.
• Customizing a chemical treatment plan to eliminate water contaminants.
• Applying the treatment to the system.
• Supporting your equipment with continued service. Through routine preventive maintenance and peak and off-season asset care, we will empower you to achieve production goals regardless of your facility’s setup.

Cooling Tower Water Treatment

Chardon’s technicians work with all types of cooling towers to restore performance and manufacturing efficiency. Examples of our cooling tower water treatments in Rockford include:

• Scale formation control: We perform a manual blowdown to expel scale deposits from your cooling tower. Next, we apply chemical treatments to inhibit precipitation and the deposit of calcium carbonates, magnesium silicate and other scale-forming minerals.
• Corrosion control: If your system is experiencing corrosion, our team applies a layer of epoxy and corrosion inhibitor, which forms a protective layer on the metal’s surface.
• Microbial control: We use oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides to discourage bacterial, algae, virus and fungi development. If the system water contains Legionella, our technicians will treat it by flushing, superheating the equipment and administering chlorine. 
• Antifoaming solutions: Our team implements antifoaming agents to minimize surface tension and prevent foaming in the cooling tower. We also adjust water pH with chemicals to maintain alkalinity.

Boiler Water Treatment

Our boiler water treatments in Rockford leverage test and survey findings to tailor an effective plan that addresses issues such as:

• Carryover: Foaming in the boiler results in carryover to downstream equipment, causing damage. When we identify this issue, we apply antifoams to inhibit the formation of stable foam and carryover.
• Sludge buildup: We administer dispersants and sludge conditioners in the boiler water to suspend TDS before performing a manual boiler blowdown.
• Scale deposits: Our scale control strategies involve blowdown to remove dissolved minerals and solids. We then soften and chemically treat the new feedwater with scale inhibitors to impede precipitation and scale deposits.
• Corrosion: We utilize oxygen scavengers to remove dissolved oxygen and prevent corrosion. Our rust-control methods also include amines to regulate the pH and form a protective layer on metal surfaces.
