Chemical dosing & biocide control

Dosing & control

A great programme on paper is no use if the pump's stopped.

Most cooling tower problems we're asked to look at come down to dosing. A pump that's lost its prime. A suction lance sitting in an empty drum. A conductivity probe so coated it reads half what it should. A bleed valve stuck shut. None of it is dramatic, but any of it can let things slide quickly.

We supply and install dosing equipment, set it up for your system, and maintain it on every visit. That includes the controller that decides when to bleed, the timers that run your biocide shots, and the probes that tell it what's going on.

If you'd like to know what goes wrong most often, our engineers talk about it in the blog, and the treatment programme page explains how dosing fits into the bigger picture.

• Dosing equipment supply and installation

  Pumps, controllers, injection points, bunded chemical storage and pipework, sized for your system.

• Conductivity and bleed control

  Probes and controllers that bleed off concentrated water at a set point, so you don't scale up or waste water.

• Biocide dosing regimes

  Alternating oxidising and non-oxidising biocides on timers or proportional to make-up, with pre-bleed lockout where needed.

• Inhibitor dosing

  Dosed in proportion to make-up water, so the reserve stays where it should be.

• Routine equipment maintenance

  Pump checks, calibration of probes, cleaning of injection points and replacing worn parts.

• Chemical stock checks

  We keep an eye on drum levels so you don't run dry between visits.
