SPX Cooling Tech LLC, a full-line, full-service designer and manufacturer of evaporative cooling towers and air-cooled heat exchangers, introduced the Marley WaterGard, a water usage optimizer and filtration system. WaterGard helps reduce wastewater and overall water usage on packaged evaporative cooling products by using membrane technology to pre-condition cooling tower water and limit salt (i.e. chlorides, calcium carbonate) introduction into the tower.
“Based on our models, WaterGard could help reduce water usage up to 59 percent for some locations, and reduce wastewater discharge up to 88 percent,” saod Marshal Zabel, SPX Cooling‘s senior global product manager. “Some areas could see payback with this product in as little as three years, or even faster in locations with high-hardness source water.”
