SYSTEM DETAILS THE RESULT
Condenser: ‐ INDION® treatment program resulted in
2 x Duty Pumps (Winter 1 W + 1S, Summer 2W) Reducing corrosion levels to less that 1.00 ppm on
Make‐Up: ‐ the both the condenser as well as the chiller side.
100 % TSE Water. Further the treatment led to higher levels of cycles
Chiller: ‐ of concentration leading to immense water savings
3,890 m3 (including TES Tank) for the client.
This led to an efficient heat transfer system which
led to cost savings from the client’s side.
THE SOLUTION
After a detailed study of the entire system, Ion Exchange
