How to deal with scaling in cooling towers?
Thread Content
When the temperature of the cooling tower is high, severe scaling occurs within half a month, making it difficult to clean; repairs require significant effort and resources. Explore ways to reduce scaling in cooling towers

It’s the acetylene cooling tower, right? If so: ensure that the safety water seal and the main water seal are in proper working order; the sludge separator should also function properly, which should help reduce the scale buildup inside the tower!
We too; we haven’t found a good method yet.
I can help you; there are special chemicals for preventing scale formation, and the circulation of water also needs to be properly controlled! For specific details, please contact me via QQ: 215324087

Chemical treatment of water quality, through the addition of chemicals
Reply to 6# raoxuelei: What forms here is scale, not something caused by slurry.
Can scale be that severe? If it gets clogged in just half a month, then the water quality needs to be checked – it’s likely that the water is too hard. Drug treatment can be tried.
Reply to 9# Helper: I think so too. The sodium chromate used here is for cooling towers; it seems to have little to do with chillers:L
Cooling tower circulating water treatment is indeed a highly complex field; during this process, factors such as scale prevention and removal, the corrosion caused by chemicals used for these purposes, the decomposition of scale inhibitors at high temperatures, and the control of bacterial and algal growth must all be taken into account. Only by addressing all these aspects can circulating water be managed properly, ensuring the proper operation of the equipment.
