Acid Dilution Troughs for Cooling Tower Chemical Treatment
Global Treat supplies acid dilution troughs designed to mix and dilute treatment chemicals before they enter a cooling tower basin. Available in PVC or CPVC, these systems help distribute chemicals more evenly and reduce concentrated chemical exposure to basin surfaces and equipment.
- MICRO and MACRO models available
- PVC or CPVC construction
- Designed for cooling tower chemical treatment
Why Chemical Dilution Matters in Cooling Towers
Treatment chemicals may settle at the bottom of a cooling tower basin when they are not properly mixed. Over time, concentrated chemical exposure can damage basin surfaces and surrounding equipment.
An acid dilution trough combines treatment chemicals with recirculated and makeup water before the diluted solution enters the cooling tower basin.
How an Acid Dilution Trough Works
The dilution process can be explained in three simple steps.
1. Water Enters the Trough
Recirculated and makeup water are introduced into the dilution system.
2. The Chemical is Mixed
The chemical and water travel across a series of PVC or CPVC baffles.
3. The Solution is Dispersed
The diluted solution enters the cooling tower basin and disperses into the basin water.
Benefits of an Acid Dilution System
An acid dilution trough can help manage how treatment chemicals enter a cooling tower basin while supporting more even chemical distribution.
- Helps reduce concentrated chemical exposure
- Supports more even chemical distribution
- Available in PVC or CPVC
- Simple system design
- Helps regulate the chemical feed rate
- May reduce downtime associated with basin repairs
Cooling Tower Chemical Treatment Applications
Acid dilution troughs may be used with several types of cooling tower treatment chemicals.
- Sulfuric Acid
- Sodium Hypochlorite
- Corrosion Inhibitors
- Cooling Tower Dispersants
Material compatibility and equipment selection should be confirmed for each chemical and application.
