Actions
Ecolab’s water and process management business, Nalco Water, worked with SVW to develop a program that is designed to control corrosion and scale while maintaining a ratio of up to 60% recycled wastewater in the cooling tower makeup water. SVW implemented Nalco Water’s corrosion control solution for cooling systems, along with 3D TRASAR™ Technology to provide integrated water quality management along with real-time, automated monitoring and dosing.

Outcomes
The partnership with Nalco Water enabled SVW to achieve historically high levels of compliance with key control and performance indicators in the cooling water systems (>99%). It also improved system reliability, water use and sustainable development and led to substantial cost savings. In addition, production increased and maintenance time was reduced, due to the prevention of leaks in the heat exchanger system.
The results in this case study are specific to this individual customer and may vary for other customers based on factors and circumstances in their operations.
