Understanding Wahaso’s Approach:

At the heart of Wahaso’s water conservation efforts lies the CT Recover system, a sophisticated solution engineered to recycle blowdown water from cooling towers and enable multiple cycles of water usage before discharge. This system operates on a two-stage approach, integrating advanced filtration and treatment technologies to achieve optimal water quality while enhancing cooling tower performance.

Stage One: Modified Ultra-Filtration (MUF)

The first stage of the CT Recover system utilizes Modified Ultra-Filtration (MUF) to address key contaminants present in cooling tower blowdown. UF membranes with precision-engineered pore sizes effectively remove bacteria, including Legionella, as well as suspended solids from the water stream. By achieving complete removal of these particulates, UF ensures that the recycled water meets stringent quality standards, safeguarding against microbial proliferation and potential fouling of downstream equipment.

Stage Two: Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Management

Following UF filtration, the recycled water undergoes a TDS management skid in the second stage of the CT Recover system. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) pose a significant challenge in cooling tower operation, as their accumulation can lead to scale formation, corrosion, and reduced efficiency. Wahaso’s TDS management system employs specialized technologies to selectively remove excess TDS from the water while maintaining a balanced mineral composition. Moreover, the TDS management system incorporates a crucial blending mechanism to ensure that the recycled water is compatible with the materials comprising the cooling tower infrastructure. By adjusting the water chemistry to mitigate corrosive tendencies, Wahaso’s system protects metal components from degradation, extending equipment lifespan and minimizing maintenance requirements.

Operational Efficiency and Environmental Impact:

By effectively recycling blowdown water and enabling multiple cycles of water usage, Wahaso’s CT Recover system delivers tangible benefits in terms of operational efficiency, reduced water and chemical costs and environmental sustainability. Building owners and facility managers can reduce reliance on freshwater sources, minimize discharge volume, and lower associated costs for water procurement and treatment chemicals. Through responsible stewardship of water resources, buildings can also achieve compliance with regulatory requirements and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
