Emergency Cleanup

Our Application Engineers and Certified Water Technologists work diligently to identify the most efficient and cost-effective solution to keep your water system running at maximum efficiency. They regularly participate in industry education to stay on top of the latest industry standards, regulations, technologies, and processes.

WATER TREATMENT PROGRAMS

Working with you to assess your specific needs, our Application Engineers and Certified Water Technologists develop a customized Water Treatment Program (WTP) that follows best practices with Association of Water Technologies (AWT), American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and will keep you compliant with local, state, and federal regulators.

Your site-specific WTP will outline protocols for safeguarding your HVAC’s water systems against scale and corrosion while controlling waterborne pathogens like Legionella. Regular water analysis, data collection, remote monitoring, and check-ins are all included in your WTP – as well as an on-call team of Solid Blend Application Engineers Environmental Case Managers and Certified Water Technologists ready to perform needed cleanup and disinfection services.

OUR TEAM IS EXTENSIVELY TRAINED IN AND FOLLOWS NATIONAL INDUSTRY GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY:

SOLID CHEMISTRY SOLUTIONS

Solid Blend utilizes the latest, innovative solid chemistry solutions to treat scale, corrosion and microbiological concerns in cooling towers, boilers and closed loop systems. We work collaboratively with the world’s leading manufacturer of solid chemistry technology, APTech. APTech manufactures state-of-the-art chemical combinations into a solid paste concentrate locally – right here in Ohio. 

Remove the heavy, difficult-to-move, hazardous chemical-filled drums and replace them with fully recyclable bottles, discs, or tabs you can safely hold in your hand. But that’s not all – the other benefits include:

  • Cost savings
  • No dangerous spills
  • Limit workplace hazards and injuries
  • Eliminate expensive storage constraints
  • No on-site storage or drum disposal issues
  • Reduce your carbon footprint

If you’re considering transitioning from liquids to solids, our team will walk you through the transition step-by-step. In most cases, it’s an easy switch! It is our goal to create the safest and most sustainable WTP for your facility by providing further solid chemistry education and any necessary on-site visits from the Solid Blend and AP Tech team.

REMOTE MONITORING

If you do one thing to protect your facility’s HVAC water systems, make it this: remote monitoring. Remote monitoring gives you convenient access to dosing and measuring levels in your HVAC systems anytime, anywhere – protecting against not only scale and corrosion, but also oxidizing biocides, and monitoring water usage, conductivity, and all operations. This all works by utilizing PSTA. Learn more about this solid chemistry solution in the video below.

CUSTOMIZED WATER TREATMENT PROGRAMS

Based on your needs, your customized WTP will include proactive maintenance for your steam boiler, cooling tower, and/or closed loop system.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF LAYUPS – WET AND DRY. OUR WATER TECHNOLOGISTS ARE TRAINED TO EXECUTE BOTH AND CAN HELP YOU PROTECT YOUR BOILER DURING TIMES OF LATENCY.

When it comes to steam boilers, the best defense for scale buildup is a proactive defense. Our Steam Boiler WTPs include:

  • Routine scheduled service that meets your needs
  • Site specific Water Treatment Program
  • System specific treatment products
  • Water analysis
  • Remote monitoring and electronic service reports
  • Seasonal equipment inspections and layup procedures

A properly executed layup is also critical for periods when your boiler is inactive. The correct layup process will:

  • Prevent corrosion
  • Optimize your system’s efficiency
  • Minimize downtime
  • Extend your boiler’s life
  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Guarantee a smooth return to service

Solid Blend deploys solid chemistry water treatment for low and medium pressure boiler applications, including comprehensive treatment for all steam boiler parts, sludge conditioning chemicals that prevent scale and corrosion, oxygen scavengers, cleaners and softeners to keep your steam boiler running at optimum efficiency, longer.

 

Whether your cooling tower works to provide comfort cooling or process cooling, it is important that your water treatment program is specific to the operating parameters of your facility to prevent scale and corrosion, as well as fouling and microbiological contaminations. Our Application Engineers and Certified Water Technologists can assist you in creating a customized WTP that utilizes the latest solid chemistry water treatment products to protect your cooling system, and decrease the risk equipment failure, decrease of efficiency, and outbreaks.

When it comes to cooling towers, the best defense for controlling scale, corrosion and waterborne pathogens, like Legionella is a proactive defense. Our Cooling Tower WTPs include:

  • Routine scheduled service that meets your needs
  • Site specific Water Treatment Program
  • System specific treatment products
  • Water analysis
  • Remote monitoring and electronic service reports
  • Seasonal equipment inspections and layup procedures

A properly executed layup is also critical for periods when your cooling tower is inactive. A layup following ASHRAE 188 process will:

  • Prevent corrosion
  • Control waterborne pathogens like Legionella
  • Extend your system’s life
  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Help guarantee a smooth return to service

 

 

To keep corrosion rates under control in your closed loop water system, and prevent sediment and bacteria from growing (also known as fouling), periodic maintenance is required.

It is critical that you work with experts to maintain correct chemistry levels in your HVAC closed loop water system to protect of the following problems:

  • Loss of building heating or cooling
  • Increase in energy usage
  • Murky or discolored water
  • Foul-smelling or off-putting water
  • Frequent leaks in the circulation pumps
  • Bacteria in the water system

If you are experiencing any of the challenges above, let’s chat about how our industry-leading team can incorporate solid chemistry water treatment into a WTP for your facility.

A successful, consistent WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM will maximize your equipment's energy efficiency, extend its useful life, reduce downtime, and minimize health and safety issues.

EMERGENCY & CLEANING SERVICES

Water stagnation, scale buildup, and system failures can cost you time and money. Our water technologists are at the ready to provide rapid response, emergency cleanup for your systems, returning them to optimum efficiency. Our services include:

Even small amounts of scale buildup in your steam boiler can be costly. As the scale builds up, it slows heat transfer and can cause the boiler tube metal to overheat, induce tube failures, and affect energy efficiency.

Periods of water stagnation – even as few as three days – can create conditions that allow bacteria like Legionella and other waterborne pathogens to grow. Before re-starting your cooling tower or bringing a new cooling tower online, the entire system should be physically cleaned, disinfected, and monitored.

With closed loop systems, leaks can occur, allowing oxygen to enter the system and cause corrosion. The corrosion byproducts can damage mechanical seals in circulation pumps, reduce water flow, and block pipes – leading to a decrease in your water system’s efficiency and possibly resulting in shutdowns.

EMERGENCY CLEANUP

Boiler failure caused by inadequate water treatment programs can cost you time and money. Our water technologists respond quickly to help you clean your boiler, return it to optimum efficiency, and build a customized and detailed Water Treatment Program that will prevent further problems.
