Many commercial facilities use water systems to manage heat production in processes and maintain a comfortable atmosphere. With Chardon Laboratories, your Indiana facility can improve system health and efficiency for the long term.
We provide the following services to support your facility:
This area of northwest Indiana has an industrial history, meaning the proportion of total dissolved solids is higher here than elsewhere. Inside commercial water treatment systems, these solids cause damage. Our local presence gives us the knowledge to deal with these and other issues you may face in your system. We work in the following areas:
Water sourced from this region tends to have higher levels of bacteria, nutrients and total suspended solids from sources like agriculture, pastures and urban runoff. While treatment facilities control contaminant levels, these and other substances may still be present, potentially causing issues in commercial water systems. If you operate a facility along the Wabash River Watershed, we can serve you with water treatment in areas like:
Industrial facilities in northern Indiana may source their water from various locations, including the Grand Calumet River. A history of dumping into this river has created higher levels of heavy metals and total dissolved solids. These and other contaminants could influence the operation of industrial water systems. Our team is nearby and ready to support you in:
Water in this area has a high mineral content. You can turn to us if your facility needs water treatment services for these and other issues. We serve:
In this area of Indiana, you could face water quality issues due to toxic dumping in the Ohio River. Water may also contain biological growth from agricultural runoff. We will tailor commercial water treatment plans to the particular issues you face in areas like:
Chardon Labs works throughout various counties in southern and central Indiana, including:
We cover many cities and towns in these regions. Some of these areas include:

At Chardon Labs, we sell clean systems — not chemicals. Our certified experts give you the resources and maintenance plan necessary to keep your heating and cooling systems clean, safe and efficient for the long term.
Facilities often use cooling tower systems to manage heat created by production processes. If these systems begin to rust or develop scale and biological growth, the heat transfer process becomes inefficient. Additionally, biological growth could create health concerns if Legionella pneumophila begins to grow. We offer cooling tower treatment in Indiana to maintain your system.
Chardon’s International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000-certified technicians customize service plans by assessing your cooling tower. These plans vary between operations, but they often include chemical treatment with corrosion and scale inhibitors, microbiological inhibitors and rust preventatives. Our team will also plan ongoing maintenance following treatment to help you prevent buildup moving forward.
Boilers are critical to many facilities for temperature control, comfort and hot water. These processes are vital to many operations, but corrosion and scale can limit system efficiency. Metal components corrode due to chemical reactions with air and water that weaken the material. Calcium, iron and silica deposits in the water cause scale.
Our technicians will assess your boiler for free to determine its status and create an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment often involves draining feedwater through blowdown to lower the dissolved solid concentration in the water and prevents scale. Through our proprietary chemicals, we can also introduce corrosion inhibitors and water softeners as part of boiler water treatment in Indiana.
Closed loop systems — like chiller water, refrigerant gas and cooling tower loops — move water through a sealed system to maintain temperature in air conditioning and heating processes. These loops often develop leaks over time, allowing air to enter and causing corrosion and bacteria to build up inside.
Through our custom treatments, our technicians will assess your system to determine the level of protection and mitigation needed. Our team typically starts by cleaning and flushing the entire system to prevent system leaks caused by corrosion from microorganisms. We also apply protective layers of chemicals to system surfaces.
Another essential element of closed loop water treatment is pH control. Our technicians use chemicals to control pH and cause a natural dissolution of iron — the substance responsible for corrosion.
Legionella pneumophila, commonly known as Legionella, is a dangerous bacterium that thrives in wet and warm environments. Factors like stagnation and high temperatures create an ideal environment for Legionella to grow, and heating and cooling systems often have these characteristics. Breathing in these particles can lead to Legionnaires’ disease.
At Chardon Labs, our technicians follow American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) 12080 guidelines, offering compliant sampling and Legionella testing in Indiana and beyond. If Legionella growth exceeds accepted levels, we implement control solutions. Chlorine will not prevent growth, so scheduled testing is essential.
Chardon Labs cleans and rejuvenates your systems using a combination of chemicals and system equipment to clean and rejuvenate your systems. Our proprietary chemicals are vital to many of our treatment plans because they can prevent scale, corrosion and some forms of microbiological growth. Some systems won’t need replacement parts and equipment, but we offer these should the need arise.
Chardon has experience with a wide range of facilities, from health care and plastic production to automotive operations. This industry experience is critical to informing our custom strategy. Every operation is different, and we assess your unique treatment needs to deliver long-term results.
Our team of ISO 9000-certified technicians employs best practices for water treatment and offers extensive safety and chemical knowledge to optimize your systems. In addition to our expertise, we make water treatment a predictable cost for your budget to make our water treatment services accessible. We make a reliable long-term partner for your water treatment needs.
At Chardon, our turnkey solutions allow operations to increase system efficiency, improve equipment lifespan and lower expenses. We solve any problems you may have with your process water. Contact us for more information concerning our water treatment services in Indiana.
