Enhance power generation with our chemical-free, efficient cooling-water treatment systems

Is Your Plant’s Efficiency Compromised by Fouling and Scaling?

Power plants depend on optimal heat transfer and clean water systems to maintain peak performance. However, issues like condenser tube fouling, cooling tower scaling, seawater biofouling, or any other contaminated water source can significantly reduce efficiency, increase energy consumption, and lead to unplanned outages. These challenges not only elevate operational costs but also impact the plant’s overall reliability and output.

Traditional Approaches

Conventional methods to combat fouling and scaling often involve chemical treatments and manual cleaning. While these can offer temporary relief, they come with drawbacks such as environmental concerns, handling hazards, and frequent maintenance shutdowns, all of which can disrupt plant operations.

CQM GROUP’s Advanced Solutions

CQM GROUP provides innovative, patented, chemical-free technologies designed to address the specific challenges faced by power plants:

Automatic Tube Cleaning System (ATCS): Keeps condenser tubes clean by continuously circulating sweeping balls through the tubes, preventing fouling and maintaining optimal heat transfer efficiency without the need for operational interruptions.
Scale Removal for Cooling Tower Water Treatment System (SRCT): Utilizing electrolysis technology, the SRCT system prevents scaling and biofouling in cooling towers. It operates without chemicals, allowing towers to function at higher cycles of concentration, saving water and energy while reducing environmental impact.
Seawater Disinfection System (SRSW): For plants using seawater in their cooling processes, the SRSW system generates chlorine on-demand from the seawater itself. This prevents micro and macro fouling, ensuring clean heat exchanger tubes and efficient cooling system operation without the need for hazardous chemical handling.

By combining these technologies, CQM GROUP provides a comprehensive solution to tackle fouling, scaling, and biofouling, ensuring power plants operate at maximum efficiency while minimizing costs and environmental impact.
