ProChemTech International, Inc., a world leader in water treatment technologies, recently announced that its Chief Chemist, Timothy Keister, a Certified Water Technologist and Fellow of the American Institute of Chemists, was awarded U.S. patent, #8,496,847, “Method and Composition for Operation of Evaporative Cooling Towers at Increased Cycles of Concentration.”
According to the company, this patent discloses the method and composition for operation of an evaporative cooling tower using hard, alkaline makeup water at increased cycles of concentration (COC). The COC obtainable by this method and composition allows cooling towers to be operated two COC higher than can be obtained by competitive methods. Operation at a higher COC cuts cooling tower blowdown, reducing both fresh water use and sewerage discharge, decreasing overall operating costs and conserving natural resources.
ProChemTech operates manufacturing facilities in both Pennsylvania and Arizona, with its headquarters and main laboratory located in Brockway, Pennsylvania.
