Closed Loop Treatment

Closed-loop systems are critical to maintaining energy efficiency and extending the lifespan of HVAC and process water equipment. Without proper treatment, these systems can experience corrosion, scaling, and biofouling, leading to inefficiencies, increased energy costs and potential system failures. At WMC Water, we provide tailored closed-loop water treatment programs to safeguard your heating and chilled water systems, glycol loops and process water circuits.

Why Invest in Closed Loop Treatment

Closed-loop systems, unlike open systems, continuously circulate the same water, reducing exposure to contaminants. However, internal issues like corrosion, scale buildup and microbial growth can still degrade performance over time.

Our treatment solutions are designed to:

Prevent Corrosion: Protect metal surfaces from rust and deterioration.
Reduce Scale Formation: Minimize mineral buildup that can impede heat transfer.
Enhance System Efficiency: Ensure optimal heat exchange and circulation.
Extend Equipment Life: Reduce wear and tear on components.
Control Microbial Growth: Prevent bacteria and biofilm accumulation that can lead to blockages and inefficiencies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a closed-loop water system?

A closed-loop water system is a recirculating system used in heating, cooling, and process applications. Unlike open-loop systems, closed loops do not continuously introduce fresh water, which reduces the risk of external contamination but still requires chemical treatment to prevent internal issues.

2. How do I know if my system needs closed-loop treatment?

Common signs that indicate a need for treatment include fluctuating water pressure, discoloration, increased energy costs, corrosion on system components, or reduced heating/cooling efficiency.

3. How often should closed-loop systems be treated?

Treatment frequency depends on the system type, water quality, and operational conditions. Regular monitoring and annual maintenance are recommended to keep the system performing at its best.

4. Can closed-loop treatment improve energy efficiency?

Yes! Proper treatment minimizes scale and corrosion, allowing for better heat transfer and circulation, reducing energy consumption and extending equipment life.
