Which measures help reduce biological growth in cooling towers?

Biological growth—such as algae and bacteria—is promoted by warm, stagnant water. Prevention relies on proper chemical treatment, controlled blowdown, and constant recirculation.

The use of oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, automatically dosed, keeps the bacterial load within safe limits. Connected monitoring systems provide real-time alerts in case of deviations. Modern towers also incorporate smooth materials and draining surfaces to minimize accumulation points. Together, these measures ensure hygiene, safety, and consistent performance over time.
