Reverse Osmosis System for Cooling Tower Optimization

Client Challenge

A large industrial facility in Wisconsin needed to optimize its cooling tower operations by reducing the amount of chemicals used and increasing the time between cycles. The facility faced challenges with scale buildup, which could lead to inefficient cooling tower performance, increased maintenance costs, and shortened system lifespan. The client required a cost-effective, reliable solution to minimize chemical use while maintaining consistent cooling tower performance over time.

Guthrie & Frey’s Solution

To meet the client’s needs, Guthrie & Frey installed a Twin 6,000 GPD Reverse Osmosis (RO) System. This system provides:

  • Scale prevention, significantly reducing the potential for buildup in the cooling
    tower system and extending its operational lifespan.
  • Chemical reduction, lowering the amount of chemicals needed for water
    treatment while still maintaining performance.
  • Dual-unit redundancy, with the system alternating between units and running
    together when required to meet peak demands.
  • Continuous operation, ensuring no downtime and reliable performance at all
    times, even when one unit is offline for maintenance or repair.

This solution greatly improves the facility’s cooling tower operation, reducing costs while improving efficiency and sustainability.

Results & Impact
  • Reduced chemical usage, leading to cost savings and more sustainable water
    treatment practices.
  • Extended cooling tower lifespan, with reduced scale buildup and fewer repairs required.
  • Reliable, 24/7 operation, thanks to the redundant RO system, which ensures no downtime.
  • Increased efficiency, with longer cycles between chemical treatments and better overall system performance.
