Tower NG
Description
Traditional treatment chemistry for recirculatinling water has usually been formulated around phosphonates for scale control and azoles for copper protection. Kurita’s Tower NG series of cooling water treatment products has been developed to minimize the dependence on these traditional technologies while providing equivalent or better results for deposit and corrosion control. Equally important, this next generation technology emits significantly lower greenhouse gases (GHG) during the manufacturing process. That is part of Kurita’s commitment to sustainable water treatment options.
The Tower NG series of cooling products replace most of the traditional water treatment chemistries with a combination of the latest polymer technology and a proprietary biodegradable corrosion inhibitor. The unique corrosion inhibitor chemistry is manufactured from sustainable plant feedstocks via a novel carbon negative chemi-enzymatic process. Use of these components reduces CO2 emissions by more than 50% during manufacture, when compared to similar products made with traditional chemistry. These products are part of the next generation of environmentally sustainable cooling treatment technology.
In head-to-head comparison with traditional hard water treatment formulas, we have seen equivalent scale and deposit control and significantly improved corrosion protection for mild steel, copper, and galvanized metal components. This makes the Tower NG series a premier multi-functional solution for enhanced cooling system performance. The improved corrosion protection will help ensure lower maintenance costs and longer useful life for critical plant assets.
Made with all organic materials and free of heavy metals or conflict minerals, the Tower NG series is inherently biodegradable in municipal treatment works. In addition, the products have relatively low aquatic toxicity for freshwater species, which will allow its use in many applications where treated cooling water is discharged directly to the environment. In particular, the phosphorus content is less than 0.5 mg/L as P for all the products in the Tower NG series when maintaining the recommended target treatment dose.
The Tower NG series of cooling products reduce the need for acid use and storage on-site. This can help with hazardous material reporting, insurance costs, and handling mistakes.
