Applications — Facilities & Process
Cooling water rewards whoever measures it.
Every cycle of concentration multiplies whatever the makeup brought in. The platform doses your inhibitor program in proportion to measured makeup, watches conductivity, and writes everything down.
The challenge
Where this application goes wrong today.
Makeup is a moving target
Load, weather, and drift change makeup demand hourly. Fixed-rate feed is wrong most of the day — in one direction or the other.
Chemistry rides on guesswork
Inhibitor residuals that depend on manual feed control swing wide; scale, corrosion, and fouling live in those swings.
Service visits sample; systems run continuously
A monthly test strip is a snapshot. The tower operates — and drifts — the other 29 days.
The fix
Dose. Verify. Log. Repeat — identically.
The platform meters your treatment provider's inhibitor and dispersant program against measured makeup flow, tracks system conductivity as the live indicator every tower program already leans on, and logs dose, reading, and fault — turning the gap between service visits into recorded, proportional control.
- Proportional to makeup — chemical feed follows actual demand through load swings and season changes.
- Conductivity, continuously — the tower's own governing number, measured in-line rather than sampled monthly.
- Between-visit records — a complete log your service provider reads on arrival — and your facility keeps.
- Program-agnostic — your provider's approved chemistry, qualified through our dosing path.
- Fail-safe behavior — faults stop feed and alarm; nothing doses blind into the loop.
The chemistry
The service pro's program, executed continuously.
Cooling programs — scale and corrosion inhibitors, dispersants, and the rest of a provider's regimen — stay the provider's call. Approved liquid concentrates pass our qualification path, then dose with metered precision between visits. For oxidizing biocide steps and regulated chemistries, program design and compliance remain with the licensed treatment professional; we contribute measured delivery and the record of it.
Water-treatment program design, biocide selection, and regulatory compliance remain with the operator and their treatment provider.
Common questions
We have a bleed controller already. What does this add?
Bleed control manages concentration by dumping water; it doesn't make chemical feed proportional or verified. The platform completes the loop on the feed side and unifies the record.
Can our water-treatment vendor run this?
That is the intended arrangement — many towers are vendor-managed. We scope with the vendor, qualify their chemistry, and the log becomes a shared source of truth.
What does a pilot look like?
One tower, one season: an evaluation unit on the makeup line, your existing program's chemistry, and a side-by-side of logs versus service-visit readings.
