Commercial HVAC Chemical Water Treatment in San Diego

Boiler Water Treatment

Boiler systems place water under conditions that can accelerate scale formation and corrosion.

Even relatively small mineral deposits on heat-transfer surfaces can interfere with system efficiency and contribute to premature equipment problems.

Kraken Water Systems can evaluate boiler makeup water and supporting treatment equipment, including:

• Boiler feed-water treatment

• Water softeners

• Reverse osmosis pretreatment

• Scale-control programs

• Corrosion control

• Chemical-feed systems

• Condensate treatment

• Blowdown management

• Filtration

• Water-quality testing

For facilities with substantial steam or hot-water demand, improving the quality of the water entering the boiler can significantly reduce stress on the system.

Dedicated Boiler Water Treatment services available.

Closed-Loop Water Treatment

Closed-loop hydronic systems are designed to reuse the same water repeatedly, but that does not mean the water can be ignored.

Improper chemistry can contribute to internal corrosion, sludge, deposits, microbiological activity, and premature failure of pumps, valves, piping, heat exchangers, and other components.

Closed-loop treatment can include:

• Corrosion inhibitors

• pH management

• Glycol system support

• System flushing

• Water-quality testing

• Side-stream filtration

• Dirt and sediment separation

• Makeup-water treatment

• Chemical-feed systems

• Ongoing water-treatment service

We can help evaluate both new and existing closed-loop systems and recommend treatment based on system construction and operating conditions.

Dedicated Closed-Loop Water Treatment services available.

Pretreatment Matters

Chemical treatment is often only one part of a successful commercial water-treatment program.

If a facility is feeding extremely hard or mineral-heavy water into expensive mechanical equipment, continually treating the symptoms may not be the best long-term strategy.

Depending on the application, Kraken Water Systems can integrate:

Commercial Water Softening

Reduce calcium and magnesium hardness before the water reaches boilers, heat exchangers, commercial fixtures, and process equipment.

Reverse Osmosis

Reduce dissolved solids and mineral loading when higher-quality feed water is required.

Carbon Filtration

Reduce chlorine and other compounds that may affect downstream equipment or processes.

Sediment & Sand Filtration

Remove suspended material before it reaches sensitive equipment.

Specialty Filtration

Treatment systems can be configured around the specific contaminants and operating requirements of the facility.

Chemical Feed & Treatment Equipment

Kraken Water Systems can integrate treatment equipment into commercial mechanical and process-water systems, including:

• Chemical-feed pumps

• Solution tanks

• Controllers

• Water softeners

• Commercial filtration

• Reverse osmosis systems

• Bypass assemblies

• Isolation valves

• Sample ports

• Pressure gauges

• Flow monitoring

• Pretreatment equipment

Our background in both plumbing and water treatment allows us to approach the entire water system rather than treating chemical feed as an isolated piece of equipment.

Commercial Water Testing & System Evaluation

Before recommending equipment or treatment changes, we can evaluate relevant system conditions and water-quality parameters.

Depending on the application, testing and inspection may include:

• Hardness

• Total dissolved solids

• Conductivity

• pH

• Chlorine

• Iron

• System pressure

• Feed-water conditions

• Existing treatment equipment

• Visible scale or corrosion

• Filtration performance

More extensive laboratory testing can also be incorporated when required by the application.

Protect the Equipment That Keeps Your Facility Running

Scale and corrosion rarely improve on their own.

A properly designed water-treatment program can help protect expensive equipment, reduce unnecessary maintenance, and improve the overall condition of a facility's water systems.

Kraken Water Systems provides commercial water-treatment solutions designed around the actual equipment, incoming water quality, and operating requirements of each facility.
