WATER SAVING ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOLING TOWER WATER TREATMENT REDUCES OPERATING COSTS
The Silver Bullet system is an innovative, commercial technology to condition cooling tower water better and more efficiently than conventional chemical systems without the use of toxic chemicals. THE SILVER BULLET SOLUTION The Silver Bullet system enables building engineers and water treatment professionals to achieve these three key goals of a cooling tower treatment program without the use of toxic chemicals: - Control t biological growth - Prevent new scaling and remove existing scaling - Reduce rates of corrosion SAVE WATER, ENERGY AND MONEY This revolutionary, commercially available system is risk-free, and has the following advantages over competing water treatment methods: TREAT COOLING TOWER WATER WITH NO ADDED CHEMICALS The Silver Bullet System uses ultraviolet light (UV) and other proprietary elements to create a gas that when added to water produces highly effective hydroxyl (OH-) and oxygen radicals. These radicals produced by the Silver Bullet system kill bacteria, break down calcium and keep it in solution preventing scale and reducing water consumption. The system reduces the rate of corrosion by keeping minerals dissolved in the water, causing the water to be less chemically active in dissolving the piping.this mixture holds minerals in solution, prevents scale, reduces corrosion, and removes existing scale. - Eliminates the use and storage of toxic chemicals - Reduces water consumption by increasing cycles of concentration - Saves energy by increasing heat transfer efficiency - Enables users to qualify for LEED credits, and water and tax rebates where available
The Silver Bullet system increases productivity and lowers costs, while providing an environmentally friendly solution. REDUCED WATER & ENERGY CONSUMPTION The Silver Bullet system increases cycles of concentration by allowing minerals to stay in a dissolved state longer and at higher levels which can reduce water use by up to 35%. A building s cooling system runs more efficiently using the Silver Bullet system due to a reduction in scaling and elimination of existing scale, both of which increase heat transfer efficiency. SAFER THAN OTHER WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS The Silver Bullet system works by creating hydroxyl radicals which produce a powerful biocide, that is much less toxic and dangerous than chlorine. With Silver Bullet there is no need to purchase, transport, store and apply chemicals. Customers save money on energy and water costs, and may also have the option to apply for rebates through local, state, and federal programs. SIMPLE TO INSTALL, EASY TO MAINTAIN The initial installation takes less than a day and can be activated with no disruption to a facility s HVAC or electrical systems. The Silver Bullet system immediately starts to work for a facility of any size, replacing the need for toxic chemicals. By eliminating the use of chemicals, labor productivity will increase as site visits take only minutes as opposed to hours. Warehousing and inventory costs decrease and there is no significant capital outlay by customers; the Silver Bullet system is rented to users at prices comparable to monthly chemical bills. Once the installation is complete, the Silver Bullet system saves time and associated labor hours because the system does not require chemical replacement or maintenance. Cooling tower water continues to be tested, as would be done with a traditional chemical system.
The Silver Bullet system is a fully commercialized, patented photochemical water treatment system that tackles the three largest issues in the water cooling tower industry: bacterial growth, scaling and corrosion. THE WATER TREATMENT PROBLEM Traditional cooling tower water treatment systems require the purchase, transport, storage, and handling of toxic chemicals. systems don t necessarily meet the goals of preventing biological growth, scaling and corrosion. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention records about 4,000 cases of Legionnaires disease annually, and building engineers must shut down their towers for an intense time consuming cleaning process each year. THE SILVER BULLET SOLUTION The Silver Bullet system meets or exceeds the three goals of a cooling tower water treatment program without the use of chemicals. The Silver Bullet systems: Prevent biological growth Prevent new scaling and remove existing scaling Reduce rates of corrosion SILVER BULLET RESULTS: SAVE WATER, ENERGY AND MONEY This revolutionary, commercially available system outperforms traditional systems and provides benefits beyond eliminating use and storage of chemicals. The Silver Bullet system: Reduces water consumption by up to 35 percent by increasing cycles of concentration Saves energy by increasing heat transfer efficiency Saves money by reducing energy and water costs, and through reduced maintenance and longer equipment life Enables users to qualify for LEED credits, and water and tax rebates Depending on your location and operating conditions, the Silver Bullet system has the potential to save you tens of thousands of gallons of water a year and reduce energy demand, resulting in significant savings.
