Have you noticed a decline in the performance of your water-cooled equipment For many manufacturing plant operators and engineers, one of the primary challenges is how to minimize silica scale in process water. Many sustainability professionals find that to minimize silica build-up in process equipment is a struggle, often leading to significant operational challenges. Silica, a prevalent ...
Equipment Monitoring: BAS can monitor the performance of equipment such as boilers, chillers, and pumps, alerting building managers to potential issues before they become major problems. ...
Using clean water reduces spray nozzle and water line maintenance, and extends the useful life of boilers, chillers, ventilation, and high-pressure washing systems. The addition of non-filtered water can reduce the overall life of the aforementioned equipment. ...
Obstructions, corrosion, cracks, pitting, weld integrity in the sidewalls will prevent adequate flow of the process material or liquid. Scheduled inspections of your chiller tubes, boiler or heat exchanger will not only identify small problems but will ultimately minimize downtime because of it not becoming a large problem. ...

Covering over 520,000 square feet, the San Jose McEnery Convention Center is the largest convention center in Silicon Valley. In keeping with the City of San Jose’s Green Vision and Climate Smart sustainability plans, the Convention Center implemented several environmental initiatives including: Composting Services First ChargePoint Ammerica electrical vehicle charging stations in San ...
The system is designed in such a way, that should the CHP system shut down due to a fault, there will be a seamless transition to existing supplies, both electrically (through the grid or back-up diesels for example), and thermally (through retained boiler plant or chillers for example). Compliance with the requirements of the ‘G99’ grid codes, ...
Process cooling equipment like blast chillers and refrigeration equipment greatly benefit from scheduled maintenance to maintain peak efficiency. ...
Many chilled water systems employ chillers and boilers, and when they use natural gas. they provide increased energy savings. ...
Chiller units — open loop or closed loop — naturally experience performance degradations over time. ...
Boiler cleaning is something most companies don’t want to think about — if boilers are working within operational limits it’s often easier to keep up with smaller preventative maintenance (PM) tasks but put off a total chemical clean until performance starts to suffer. ...
This can cause a build-up of limescale in pipes, boilers, chillers, thermostats, elements and fittings on hatchery machines. ...
It costs US industry billions of dollars a year to control and remove the limescale that builds up in industrial equipment such a heat exchangers, evaporative coolers, boilers, chillers and other water fed equipment. Oil wells, for example, face significant scaling problems from the highly mineralized water that are extracted with the oil. ...
The corporate managers of this chain feel confident that there are improvements in building operations that can be realized.The maintenance manager of a high-rise condominium building is extremely proud of the condition of his chillers and boilers. Yet he is unable to determine what is contributing to the high energy costs of his building month after month.The ...
Some facilities have hot/chilled water or steam demands that can be supplied through a waste-heat boiler or adsorption chiller fired by the oxidation system exhaust. In northern climates, facilities use this excess energy as make-up air for heating the building. ...
