Read Full ArticleCooling tower cost is often treated as a line item, but in reality it reflects how well a system is managed over time. The upfront cost matters, but it is only one piece of a much larger picture that includes daily operation, water quality decisions, …
Read Full ArticleBrackish water treatment is becoming increasingly important as freshwater supplies grow scarce. Brackish water, which sits between fresh and seawater in salinity, can be found in estuaries, coastal aquifers, and certain underground sources. Without proper water treatment, these sources remain unsuitable for drinking or industrial …
Read Full ArticleCooling tower replacement is something most facility teams eventually face, especially when water quality becomes harder to control or the tower no longer performs the way it should.
