Expert Perspectives & Industry News Driving Water Treatment Innovation
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…
In any type of cooling system; open or closed, once through or recirculating, growth of microorganisms is a major hindrance. The available heat from the water, air, nutrients and the pH level create an ideal environment for rapid growth often results in biofilm and slime. Organizations like hospitals, data centers, factories and even large commercial…
ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023 Webinar Water Safety Standards in Medical Device Processing Maintaining safe water quality is a critical aspect of medical facility management, especially in Sterile Processing – cleaning and sterilizing medical devices. The ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023 standard is intended to improve water safety and patient care. Compliance with the standard is intended to reduce the risks…
