About Aqua-Chem, Inc.

1. Corrosion Inhibitors: These chemicals form a protective layer on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of the system's components.
2. Scale Inhibitors: Scale inhibitors help prevent the formation of mineral deposits, such as calcium and magnesium scales, which can reduce heat transfer efficiency.
3. Biocides: Biocides are used to control the growth of bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms in the closed-loop system to prevent fouling and microbial-induced corrosion.
4. pH Adjusters: pH adjusters are used to maintain the water's pH within the desired range to prevent corrosion and ensure the effectiveness of other treatment chemicals.
5. Oxygen Scavengers: In some closed-loop systems, oxygen scavengers are used to remove dissolved oxygen from the water, as oxygen can promote corrosion.
6. Dispersants: Dispersants help prevent the agglomeration of particles, keeping the water clean and minimizing the risk of fouling and scaling.
7. Antifoaming Agents: Antifoaming agents are used to control foam formation, especially in systems with high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.

The specific chemicals and their dosages used in closed loop water treatment depend on factors such as the water quality, system design, and operating conditions. It is essential to conduct regular water testing and monitoring to optimize the treatment program and ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the closed-loop system.
