Expert Perspectives & Industry News Driving Water Treatment Innovation
Heading to Data Center World 2026? As data centers face AI-driven growth and operational challenges, water quality management is key to supporting cooling reliability, uptime, and long-term performance. Connect with Garratt-Callahan at booth #1245 to learn more.
Snapshot of Success Industry: Data CenterChallenge: Elevated iron levels prevented closed-loop water from meeting equipment manufacturer specificationsSolution: Full system repassivation + component chemistry retreatment + upgraded monitoring panelsResults: Iron reduced from ~0.82 ppm to 0.15 ppm and maintained for 10+ monthsWhy This Success Matters: Data center systems with strict control requirements need the right passivation…
Only 12% of water is used domestically. While conservation at home is important, the larger impact lies in addressing industrial and agricultural water use.
Garratt-Callahan Formula 9420 Operators and managers of industrial heating, cooling and ventilation water systems rely on water treatment to ensure heat exchange efficiency and to extend system life expectancy. However, operational changes or issues relating to treatment failures, corrosion, or scale formation may warrant cleaning. Water containing high amounts of silica, if not properly controlled…
Challenges The boiler – a 1000-hp tube unit – at a plywood manufacturing plant in the Pacific Northwest had scale so bad that it had to be shut down after only a year and a half of operation. Treatment chemicals for the boiler were being mixed daily, however, the feed system was not working properly….
Challenges Garratt-Callahan was the water treatment chemicals supplier for a Texas-based automotive parts manufacturer when the company opened up bidding on a new cooling tower as part of a major HVAC renovation at its plant. The bidding also included one company that was supplying the plant with processing equipment and services, and another that had…
Challenges Poor water quality at a Nevada printing company, with very high silica levels (67 PPM), limited the plant to running its boilers at a maximum of 10 cycles of concentration. Because it was difficult to control the high conductivity required, the system experienced frequent foaming and carryover, and energy costs were escalating. Approach Garratt-Callahan…
Controlled Release contains Garratt-Callahan’s proven, effective formulas, but in a concentrated and newly improved solid form. This will provide the same scale and corrosion protection for cooling towers as traditional liquid formulas, but with some unbeatable benefits. Go Green Garratt-Callahan Controlled Release products incorporate several aspects of the U.S. EPA Green Chemistry Guidelines. The products…
Doctors order tests to verify a suspected diagnosis or simply to confirm we are as well as we feel. The tests reveal a great deal about what is going on inside of us. Given that what’s inside of us can also be found in wastewater, it seems logical that wastewater analysis could reveal telltale signs…
