When the water treatment industry was encouraged to eliminate chromates over 35 years ago, phosphate- and zinc-based treatment programs emerged as the technology of choice.
However, we have become increasingly aware of some challenges that can be associated with phosphate-based technology, such as:
Precise control required to prevent phosphate deposits on hot bundles
Escalating dispersant demand to prevent phosphate precipitation
Not effective on copper, aluminum, and stainless steel surfaces
Phosphate’s contribution to toxic algae blooms, including the hypoxic or “dead” zone in the Gulf of Mexico
These complexities, along with emerging environmental restrictions on phosphorus and zinc discharge, prompted ChemTreat to launch a multi-year effort to develop a technology that alleviates these challenges. The result is a high-performance, sustainable approach to cooling water treatment. Completely non-phosphorus or low phosphorus products are available in this product line, as necessary.
