Cooling Tower Scale Inhibitor – 25 kg Drum | UV Water Systems Oman

Open recirculating cooling towers in Oman face an accelerated scaling problem. As water evaporates from the cooling tower, dissolved minerals concentrate in the remaining recirculating water — in Oman’s hot climate with high evaporation rates, cycles of concentration can build quickly to 4–6 times the feed water mineral content without blowdown and chemical treatment. Calcium carbonate scale deposits on heat exchanger surfaces act as insulation, reducing heat transfer efficiency and forcing chillers to work harder and consume more power. The Cooling Tower Scale Inhibitor supplied by UV Water Systems in Muscat is a phosphonate and polymer-based formulation that prevents calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and silica scale formation in open recirculating cooling systems across Oman’s industrial and commercial sectors.

How Cooling Tower Scale Inhibitor Works

The phosphonate component acts through threshold inhibition — at doses of 2–5 mg/L in the recirculating water, it adsorbs onto early-stage crystal nuclei of calcium carbonate and silica, distorting their growth and keeping scale precursors in suspension at concentrations far above the theoretical saturation limit. The polymer dispersant component prevents suspended particles from settling on heat exchanger surfaces and cooling tower packing. Together, these components allow the cooling system to operate at higher cycles of concentration (reducing makeup water and blowdown consumption) while keeping heat transfer surfaces clean. UV Water Systems designs the complete chemical treatment programme based on your cooling tower’s makeup water analysis and system parameters.

Key Features and Benefits

Calcium carbonate inhibition: Prevents the white scale deposits on condenser tubes and tower fill that are responsible for 70% of heat transfer efficiency loss in Oman’s HVAC cooling systems.
Silica scale control: Silica from Oman’s groundwater concentrates in cooling towers and deposits as amorphous silica scale — the phosphonate/polymer blend keeps silica in solution up to elevated concentration factors.
Corrosion inhibition: The formulation includes zinc or molybdate-based corrosion inhibitors that protect mild steel cooling tower basins, piping, and chiller condenser heads from corrosion pitting.
Higher cycles of concentration: Effective scale control allows the cooling tower to run at 4–6 cycles of concentration versus 2–3 without treatment, significantly reducing makeup water consumption — a major operational saving in Oman where water costs are rising.
Compatible with biocide programmes: Can be used alongside oxidising and non-oxidising biocides for complete cooling water treatment — scale, corrosion, and microbiological control in one integrated programme.

Applications Across Oman

Cooling tower chemical treatment is mandatory for HVAC systems at Oman’s hotels, hospitals, commercial offices, and industrial facilities. UV Water Systems provides cooling tower water treatment programmes — including scale inhibitor, biocide, and blowdown controller supply and installation — to clients across Muscat. We also carry out quarterly water quality testing and programme optimisation for cooling systems under annual maintenance contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I test my cooling tower water in Oman? Weekly testing of pH, conductivity, and inhibitor residual is recommended, with monthly comprehensive analysis including calcium hardness, total dissolved solids, and microbiological counts. UV Water Systems offers cooling tower water testing services in Muscat with same-day results.

Can I control Legionella with scale inhibitor alone? No — scale inhibitor controls deposits but does not kill Legionella bacteria. A complete cooling water programme requires a biocide (chlorine or non-oxidising biocide) alongside scale and corrosion inhibitor. UV Water Systems designs complete Legionella risk management programmes in line with Oman’s health authority requirements.
