Company Provides Cooling tower Treatment for School System

WILLIAMSBURG, VA-Virginia’s York County school system is currently using Zentox’s Clean Streams ozone systems for cooling towers. The systems provide stand-alone, continuous, and automated treatment for cooling towers.

A spokesman for the school facilities said that the systems eliminate the need for chemicals and save water and energy. On a cooling tower of 500-ton capacity, water savings of over three million gallons per year can be realized, based upon operation of the tower at ten cycles of concentration with ozone rather than three on chemical treatment.

The disinfection power of ozone prevents biofilm growth. As a result, protection is provided against pathogenic organisms such as Legionella Pneumophilia, the causative agent of Legionnaire’s disease.

There are 18 schools in the York County School System and they have eight cooling towers that are serviced by seven Clean Stream systems. According to representatives from Zentox and the school district, the ozone system will provide better indoor air quality and the school system will realize energy savings because ozone keeps critical heat transfer equipment free of biofilm and scale allowing for more efficient heat transfer in condensers.
