Efficient cleaning of cooling water systems and equipment
In industrial production, cooling water systems and system components that carry cooling water often only come into focus when problems occur in the production process. These faults often become apparent when operational parameters can no longer be maintained, which could indicate deposits in the cooling water.
There are many reasons for deposits:
These are caused by inadequate water treatment and lead to a loss of performance.
Rust and other oxidation products can impair system function.
Biofilms, slime deposits or “algae curtains” are often caused by nutrient-rich inputs and inadequate water treatment.
Without regular cleaning, these problems can lead to costly repairs or increased energy consumption.
Chemical cleaning for optimum system efficiency
INWATEC offers customized solutions for the sustainable chemical removal of deposits from cooling water systems. We tailor ourprocesses to the specific requirements of your system. Our options include
- Cleaning during operation: Gentle processes carried out under heat load and with analytical support.
- Cleaning during shutdown: Integrated cleaning during operational repairs or maintenance work.

Adapted cleaning agents for specific requirements
The ideal of cleaning agent used depends on the type of deposits:
- Acidic cleaning agents: Ideal for removing limescale and sediments.
- Organic or oxidative products: Effective for biological deposits and biofilms.
Before each cleaning, we carry out a detailed analysis of the deposits. We take into account:
- Composition of the deposits
- System materials (e.g. non-ferrous metals andplastics)
- Official requirements and special customer requests
