Traditionally, to eliminate scale build-up, most cooling towers are treated with chemicals that are increasingly hazardous to the environment and adversely affect wastewater treatment facilities. The VRTX System contains a vacuum lens inside the chamber that strips out carbon dioxide and other dissolved gases, thereby accelerating the formation of non-sticking calcium carbonate. This, combined with the high shear forces generated in the chamber, alters the chemical state of dissolved calcium forming calcium carbonate, which then precipitates out. The removal of gases combines with the increased pH to control corrosion. The water to be treated is pumped directly from the holding basin.
Nothing is added to the water and no toxic materials or gases are released.
