Waterborne surface deposits accumulate on water treatment equipment and storage tanks over time. Extent and composition of these deposits depend on the qualities of the bulk water and environmental factors such a temperature and light.
Surface deposits can have negative impacts on water quality, complicate maintenance and accelerate corrosion. High costs for facility repair and replacement, as well as increasingly strict water quality standards have enhanced the interest in effective preventative maintenance methods, leading to recommendation or mandates for regular facility cleaning.
Traditional cleaning methods such as flushing, pressure washing and underwater vacuum technology are relatively inefficient against most types of deposits, leaving frequent resurfacing or excessive chlorination as the only options in cases of severe scaling and fouling.
Green cleaning technology, which is certified for use in drinking water facilities, allows for thorough removal of inorganic and organic contaminants from water facility and filter media surfaces. The procedure is fast, convenient and safe to apply.
Benefits of applying green cleaning technology have been shown to include stabilization of chlorine residual, recovery of contaminated surfaces, improved facility inspection and improved filter performance. Including regular chemical cleaning in a preventive maintenance program can also help reduce chlorination by-product accumulation and delay costly resurfacing.
THE PROBLEM
Tank Surface Deposits
• Chlorine Residual Decline
• Elevated DBPs (TTHMs, HPC)
• Increased Turbidity
• Inefficient Inspections
• Coating Deterioration
• Increased Corrosion
THE SOLUTION
Rosenwach GreenClean Surface Cleaning
• Thoroughly removes surface deposits such as iron,
manganese, fungi, algae and bacteria.
• Works on wood, steel, concrete and fiberglass
• An NSF 60* -certified, spray-on and rinse-off application
• Can be done on a regular maintenance schedule
• Rosenwach personnel are certified applicators
These effects decrease water quality
and increase maintenance costs
