The textile industry is one of the most water-intensive industrial sectors, particularly in facilities where dyeing, washing and finishing processes are carried out. In addition to production processes, cooling towers, chiller systems, heat exchangers and auxiliary process water circuits may form important components of the facility infrastructure. The mineral composition of the water used in these systems, together with operating conditions, can lead to the formation of scale, deposits and corrosion over time.
Scale build-up, particularly on heat-transfer surfaces, can form undesirable layers that may affect system operating conditions. Deposits may also accumulate in pipelines, heat exchangers and other equipment, adversely affecting water circulation. For this reason, water system maintenance involves two complementary approaches: removing existing deposits and controlling the formation of new deposits during operation.
During periodic maintenance, scale and deposit removers compatible with the system materials may be used to remove existing mineral build-up under controlled conditions. During normal operation, chemical water treatment may be applied to control scale formation and corrosion, taking into account water hardness, mineral content and the metals present within the system.
The chemical treatment program should not be based solely on product selection. Water analysis, operating temperature, circuit type, system metallurgy and the equipment manufacturer’s technical requirements should be evaluated together. Water treatment chemicals can therefore be regarded as technical tools used to manage the operating conditions and maintenance requirements of the auxiliary systems that support textile production processes.
