Tower NG
Novel Biodegradable Corrosion Control
Traditional treatment chemistry for recirculating cooling water has usually been formulated around organo-phosphonates for scale control and azoles for copper protection. Kurita’s Tower NG series of cooling products replaces most of the traditional water treatment chemistries with a combination of the latest polymer technology and a proprietary biodegradable corrosion inhibitor. Equally important, this next generation technology emits significantly lower greenhouse gases (GHG) during the manufacturing process.
Tower NG Benefits
The Tower NG series of cooling products reduce the need for acid use and storage on-site. This can help with hazardous material reporting, insurance costs, and handling mistakes.
Tower NG is inherently biodegradable. In addition, the products have relatively low aquatic toxicity to freshwater species, which will allow its use in many applications where treated cooling water is discharged directly to the environment.
In comparison with traditional hard water treatment formulas, Tower NG has had equivalent scale and deposit control and significantly improved corrosion protection. The improved corrosion protection will help ensure lower maintenance costs and longer useful life for critical plant assets.
Tower NG’s unique corrosion inhibitor chemistry is manufactured from sustainable plant feedstocks via a novel carbon negative chemi-enzymatic process. Use of these components reduces GHG emissions by more than 50% during manufacture compared to similar products made with traditional chemistry.
