Cooling Systems for the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries
In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, temperature control is crucial to ensure the quality and safety of production processes. MITA Cooling Technologies offers advanced evaporative, open- and closed-loop cooling solutions designed for critical and aggressive environments. Our systems, including corrosion-resistant fiberglass cooling towers, ensure operational continuity, long life and adaptability to industry-specific thermal regulation requirements. With extensive industry experience, MITA is the ideal partner for optimizing cooling processes in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Requests: highly variable output temperatures, operational continuity, long service life, low noise.
Overview of cooling technologies: open and closed circuit towers, cooling plants.
1. Typical needs of the industry
The chemical and pharmaceutical industries have highly specific needs related to thermal management, as production processes often require strict temperature control to ensure quality and safety.
Key needs include.
- Precise thermal regulation: many chemical and pharmaceutical processes must maintain tight temperature ranges to preserve the stability of active ingredients and mixtures. Any variation could compromise the quality of the final product or trigger undesirable reactions.
- Resistance to harsh environmental conditions: plants in the industry often operate in aggressive environments, where the presence of corrosive chemicals, vapors or high humidity makes it essential to use materials and systems that can withstand them over time.
- Operational continuity: very often production cannot afford sudden interruptions. Any failure or malfunction in cooling systems can have serious economic and operational consequences.
- Reduced noise: in many plants, acoustic comfort is a relevant factor in ensuring a safe and compliant working environment.
- Efficiency and durability: solutions must ensure long service life and low maintenance, reducing overall operating costs.
These requirements make it essential to use reliable, efficient and customizable cooling systems capable of responding to different operating conditions and process specificities.

2. MITA Cooling Technologies' solutions for the industry
MITA Cooling Technologies distinguishes itself by offering solutions tailored to meet the complex needs of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring high performance and operational sustainability. Here are some of them.
- PME-E open-circuit cooling towers: reliable, robust yet lightweight due to fiberglass construction. Technical precautions can be used both to monitor water use (electrical panels with inverters) and to contain noise (sound-absorbing caps).
- MCC closed-loop cooling towers: ideal for processes where the fluid to be cooled must remain unaltered, for high quality processes.
- RW/EFC ax industrial chillers: suitable for efficient refrigeration, also with excellent energy savings due to free-cooling mode.
Each system is configured according to customer specifications, with a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, helping to reduce consumption and environmental impact.
The choice of advanced materials such as fiberglass, used for example in cooling towers for its corrosion resistance, makes our systems ideal for the harsh conditions of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Whether in brackish environments or industrial settings with high chemical variability, MITA Cooling Technologies’ solutions ensure reliable and sustained performance while minimizing environmental impact and operating costs.
3. Examples of processes served
We are of course talking about heterogeneous industries, with a variety of processes to support production needs. These are just a few examples.
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: maintaining constant temperatures in the synthesis and processing stages.
- Pigment and dye industry: thermal control to avoid unwanted reactions.
- Solvent and chemical derivatives recovery: targeted cooling to ensure quality and safety.
- Production of masterbatch and organic/inorganic derivatives: cooling to avoid product alterations.
