Innovative Engineering Services

At WaterHygge , we are proud to offer high-quality solutions in the field of water analysis. Our key performance area is the supply of sensors for measuring critical parameters such as disinfectants, pH, redox potential, and gases. We understand the importance of accurate and reliable water analysis in various industrial applications.

In addition to our industry-leading sensors from a leading European manufacturer, we also provide our customers with integrated, connected measurement systems for a wide range of industrial applications, including process control, cooling systems, wastewater treatment, and drinking water measurement, as well as swimming pool maintenance.

Cooling towers are an essential part of many industrial processes, but they can also present significant challenges when it comes to water quality management. Our advanced water analysis sensors and integrated measurement systems can prove to be invaluable for this application.

Incase the manufacturing facility is struggling to maintain optimal water quality in their cooling tower system they can install our comprehensive water quality monitoring solution, and can:

• Continuously track critical parameters such as pH, conductivity, and disinfectant levels
• Receive real-time alerts for any deviations from the target water quality parameters
• Automate the dosing of chemicals to maintain optimal water chemistry
• Reduce the frequency and severity of system upsets, leading to improved equipment performance and extended asset life

Manufacturing facilities can significantly reduce water and energy consumption, as well as a decrease the amount of wastewater generated. The facility can also benefited from improved system reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

For the cooling tower application, the integrated water quality monitoring and control system utilizes a combination of the following technologies:

Sensor array:

• pH sensor
• Conductivity sensor
• Turbidity sensor
• Free chlorine analyzer
• Total dissolved solids (TDS) sensor

Automated dosing system:

• Chemical feed pumps for precise delivery of sanitizers, pH adjustment chemicals, and anti-scaling compounds
• Programmable logic controller (PLC) to manage the dosing based on sensor feedback and process requirements

Data acquisition and control software:

• Continuous monitoring and logging of all water quality parameters
• Real-time alerts and notifications for out-of-spec conditions
• Automated control of the dosing system to maintain optimal water quality for each process step

Connectivity and reporting:

• Integration with the plant's manufacturing execution system (MES) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software
• Cloud-based data storage and analysis for enterprise-wide visibility and reporting
• Dashboards and analytics to quantify water, energy, and waste reduction initiatives
• 
  

The key performance metrics and KPIs tracked by the water quality monitoring and control systems include:

Cooling Tower Application:

1. Cycles of Concentration (CoC): Tracks the ratio of dissolved solids in the cooling tower water to the makeup water. Maintaining high CoC (e.g., 4-6) reduces the amount of blowdown and makeup water required, optimizing water usage.
2. Makeup Water Reduction: Measures the percentage decrease in makeup water consumption compared to a baseline or industry standard. This KPI quantifies the water savings achieved through effective water treatment and control.
3. Corrosion Rate: Monitors the corrosion rate of the cooling tower materials, typically targeting less than 5 mils per year (0.005 inches per year) to extend asset life and reduce maintenance costs.
4. Energy Efficiency: Tracks the cooling tower's energy consumption per unit of cooling capacity, which can be optimized through proper water quality management to improve overall energy efficiency.
5. Chemical Consumption: Monitors the dosage and consumption of scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, and biocides to optimize chemical usage and costs.
