Hardness scales the fill and the tubes, the warm wet environment grows bacteria and biofilm, and the metal corrodes. Left alone, a tower loses efficiency and fouls the condenser. We treat scale, corrosion, and biology together, with a program matched to your water and your cycles of concentration, plus automated feed so it holds between service visits. > “Time for condenser passivation. Does it matter? YES.” Doug Hoffman, President & Founder The Cooling Loop ## How a Treated Tower Runs Warm water to the tower, cool water to the plant, with scale, corrosion, and bacteria held in check. What's Included ## A Complete Cooling Program We control scale, corrosion, and biology together, with the feed and monitoring to keep it that way. ### Scale & Corrosion Inhibitors Inhibitor programs that keep mineral scale off the fill and tubes and protect the metal in the tower, condenser, and piping. ### Microbiological Control Biocide programs and biofilm management to control bacteria and slime, and the conditions that let them take hold. ### New-System & Condenser Passivation Passivate fresh metal at startup so new tubes and surfaces build a protective film instead of corroding from the first fill. ### Conductivity & Bleed Control Conductivity and bleed control with makeup management to hold cycles of concentration where they should be. ### Automated Feed & Remote Monitoring Automated chemical feed with Walchem controllers and remote monitoring so the program holds between visits. ### SOLIDified Solid Chemistry Run the tower on SOLIDified solid chemistry and drop the hazardous liquid drums, handling, and spill risk. ### Routine Service & Testing Regular service and water testing using AquaPhoenix test methods to catch drift before it becomes a problem.

We design for the system in front of us, not a generic dosing chart. - **EPA-Registered Biocides, Oxidizing and Non-Oxidizing** We run both oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, all EPA-registered, and rotate them so bacteria and biofilm don't settle into one chemistry. We match the program to your tower's bioload and conditions. - **Start-Up & Pre-Treatment** Start-up products for new towers: pre-treatment to clean the system, then passivation so fresh metal builds a protective film from the first fill. - **Off-Line & On-Line System Cleanup** Cleanup for organic or inorganic fouling, run off-line or on-line. When a tower gets away from you, we pull the scale, mud, and biofilm back out and reset the program. ![Circulating pumps, piping, and water-treatment controls in an Ohio plant mechanical room, serviced by Hoffman Water](https://www.hoffmanwater.com/assets/plant-room.jpg) In the Field ## Treatment That Fits Your Plant We install and service cooling and process water treatment on site across Ohio and surrounding states.

Skip passivation and the new tubes and surfaces start corroding from the first fill. Passivation at startup protects the metal you just paid for. Bacteria and biofilm thrive in warm, stagnant tower water. We control them with a biocide program, biofilm management, and good system housekeeping, backed by routine testing. Keeping conditions hostile to growth takes steady service, not a one-time treatment. Both work. Solid chemistry, our SOLIDified program, gives you consistent dosing without drums of liquid to store, handle, and spill. For many facilities that is a safer, simpler way to run the tower. Yes. We set up automated chemical feed and controls with Walchem and remote monitoring, so conductivity, bleed, and feed stay on target between service visits, and we still come out and test. Look at what a service visit actually includes. A real program tests the water on site, checks bleed and feed against targets, documents the results, and adjusts the chemistry, not just tops off a drum. Then ask about microbiological control, because scale is only half the fight. At Hoffman Water a chemical engineer runs the account, and we treat towers and condensers across Ohio and surrounding states.
