Cooling Water Treatment

ImproChem specialises in cooling water treatment across all industrial applications, including but not limited to refineries, steel mills, petrochemical and chemical process industries, food & beverage plants, electrical utilities and buildings. Utilising the im-PROcool product range our highly trained sales technologists will provide you with a total solution to optimise heat exchange by evaluating the chemical programs, equipment and operations of your cooling system.

With our holistic approach to cooling water treatment, we add value to your operations by integrating Smart Technology, Best Operating Practices for monitoring and control and Speciality Chemicals to improve operating efficiency and integrity on your plant, thereby allowing you, the customer to focus on your core business.

ImproChem’s speciality chemical product range, im-PROC00L includes:

Corrosion inhibitors – by looking at various aspects of corrosion control anodic, cathodic and film forming protection products can be recommended to extend equipment lifespan and maintain system integrity.


Scale inhibitors – the prevention of mineral deposition with our proprietary products will allow the optimisation of cycles of concentration to improve water consumption on your plant.


Anti-fouling agents – Deposits in a cooling tower can be minimised by using dispersants and/or surfactants to keep surfaces clean, thereby improving heat exchanger efficiency.


Multi-functional products – to improve chemical performance even further, ImproChem has a wide range of multi-functional speciality chemicals to control scale, corrosion and fouling simultaneously, thereby providing the customer with a cost-effective treatment program, both for recirculating and closed loop cooling systems.


Biocides – various oxidising and non-oxidising biocides can be utilised to clean-up or control microbiological contamination, based on the numbers and types of microbes, also taking into account the unique operational parameters of your specific cooling tower.


ImproChem also has a line of Monitoring & Control packages available with varying degrees of automation, customised to help improve your cooling tower efficiency by pro-active monitoring and control. By trending various parameters such as corrosion, conductivity, pH, bio-film formation etc. in real-time, chemical dosing can be optimised, and alarm conditions can be recognised, before major upsets occur.
