Applications in Cooling Systems

Fineamin offers cutting-edge solutions for open cooling systems, addressing corrosion, scale, and biofouling challenges in industrial and power plant applications. Its innovative formulations enhance system efficiency, reduce chemical consumption, and minimize environmental impact while protecting critical equipment.

Key Benefits and Applications:

  • Corrosion and Scale Control in Chemical Plants:
    • Reduced corrosion rates from 22.6 mpy to 3.9 mpy in a soda ash plant with 45 heat exchangers.
    • Eliminated under-deposit corrosion and fouling, enabling higher pH operation and saving 10+ tons of sulfuric acid annually.

  • Biofouling Prevention in Power Plants:
    • Introduced a green biofouling cleaner for coastal power plants, replacing toxic hypochlorite treatments.
    • Cut dosing time from 12 hours to 1 hour daily while reducing macro/microfouling and protecting metal surfaces.
    • Achieved >80% reduction in hypochlorite use, lowering environmental toxicity.

  • Operational and Environmental Advantages:
    • Compatible with diverse metallurgy (MS, SS, Cu) in high-volume systems (e.g., 75,000 m³/h recirculation).
    • Delivered smoother surfaces, improved heat transfer, and compliance with sustainability goals.

Fineamin sets a new standard for cooling water treatment, combining performance, cost savings, and eco-friendly innovation.
