Introducing the CTMS
Cooling Tower Management System

An INTEGRATED Solution to ALL Cooling Tower Problems
Fouling is defined as the accumulation of dirt,
scale, corrosion products or other materials on
the surface of heat exchangers. This will cause
under-deposit corrosion and ultimately increase
maintenance and energy consumption.
Tr adi t i onal Cool i ng Tower Tr eat ment
Cooling towers are heat exchangers that utilize water and air to transfer process waste
heat to the outdoor environment. Providing cooling water is commonly applicable in air
conditioning, manufacturing and electric power generation. The resurgence of interest in
GREEN technologies and their financial benefits are driving the market towards
environmentally friendly alternatives to solve common cooling tower problems.
As an owner of cooling tower, you are probably
aware of the obvious signs of scale build-up, the
growth of algae, the corrosion and pitting
throughout the tower and chiller system.
Until recently, the options have been limited;
they are often less effective and proven
unsatisfactory. The main alternatives have been
chemical injections, which are costly and harmful
to the environment. Chemicals commonly used
are toxic and highly corrosive to towers.
Consequently, corrosion inhibitor, pH regulator,
antiscalant will be required. All these chemicals
increase the maintenance cost, as well as
causing premature tower replacement and
environmental problems.
Traditionally, chemicals are used to combat the chemical imbalance in cooling water due
to saturation of minerals and pollutants from the air. It is the chemicals themselves that
are part of the problem:

does not try to solve the symptoms of the problems, but remove the CAUSE of
the problems with the complete tower management system.

CTMS

CTMS
is the first integrated system to totally maintain and care for your cooling tower.
CTMS
is not just another treatment system. As the name implies, CTMS
is a
complete treatment system and contains important differences that other systems do
not have.
Substantial Energy Savings. Scale with a thickness of 70m is equal to a loss of 11%
thermal efficiency. CTMS
scale control unit will reduce scaling to almost zero and

therefore increase thermal efficiency in tower.
50% Reduction of Blow Down Water. CTMS
does not use a traditional blowdown,

but uses an internal filter to remove solids from the water. CoC is thus increased from
3-4 up to 10-15. As the blow-down water does not contain chemical residue, or silt, the
water can be sent straight to surface water reservoirs or public sewer without further
treatment. In many cases, this water can be re-used for other processes within the
plant.
100% Removal of Bacteria and Biofilm. CTMS
incorporates a unique disinfection

system, which utilizes electrochemical activation (ECA) technology to generate an
ecologically safe, activated solution which displays high level efficacy against all known
microorganisms, including Legionella.
>80% Reduction of Chemicals. By incorporating ECA technology for disinfection
coupled with an electronic descaler for scaling control and an internal filtration system,
fluocculants and descalants are no longer needed. Depending on make-up water
quality, it is possible to achieve 100% reduction of chemicals.
Significant Reduction in Maintenance. CTMS
will keep the tower reservoir clean.

The stand alone system is fully automated. Sediments, corrosion and calcium deposits
are nonexistent. Therefore, the plant does not need to be shut down for periodic
maintenance.
Environmentally Friendly. CTMS
reduces energy, chemicals and water usage.
