Comprehensive Cooling Tower Maintenance for Maximum Performance

At OBR Cooling Towers, our Service Solutions Group provides comprehensive cooling tower maintenance programs designed to maximize efficiency, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. With a proactive approach to inspections, cleaning, and preventative maintenance, we help facilities prevent costly breakdowns and improve overall performance. Whether you're looking for routine service or emergency support, our team of experts delivers the highest level of care to keep your cooling systems running smoothly.

Cleaning & Decontamination

Optimize Cooling Efficiency & Regulatory Compliance

In power plants, cooling tower efficiency directly impacts thermal performance and overall plant output. Fouling, scale buildup, and microbiological growth can reduce heat transfer, increase auxiliary power loads, and even contribute to environmental non-compliance. Our certified cleaning and decontamination services ensure that your system operates at peak efficiency while maintaining water quality and meeting regulatory standards.

Our Process Includes:

  • Certified Cleaning & Decontamination – Maintains water chemistry control and ensures regulatory compliance (EPA, OSHA, ASHRAE)
  • Hyper-Chlorination & Biocide Treatments – Controls Legionella, algae, and biofouling risks common in power plant cooling circuits
  • High-Pressure Washing & Scale Removal – Eliminates deposits that reduce heat transfer and efficiency
  • Fill Media Deep Cleaning – Enhances water distribution, reduces pressure drop, and extends equipment life
  • Basin & Distribution System Flushing – Prevents blockages and optimizes water flow
  • Post-Cleaning Thermal Performance Analysis – Verifies improvements in cooling tower effectiveness and energy efficiency

By implementing a proactive maintenance strategy, power plants can reduce auxiliary power consumption, improve thermal efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan, ensuring uninterrupted operations and compliance with EPA, ASME, and industry-specific water treatment regulations.
