District Cooling
Eco Solutions for District Cooling
District Cooling Systems (DCS) use Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) or potable water which introduces challenges like high TDS, corrosion and increased blowdown which negatively impact the system performance. Potable water use also strains limited global resources.
Bio Organic Catalyst (BOC) addresses these issues with a patented solution that enhances oxygen transfer, breaks down organics and reduces chemical reliance boosting water reuse and compliance with local and international standards.
Challenges in District Cooling Systems
District cooling systems face inherent water quality challenges when utilizing alternative sources like treated sewage effluent (TSE) or managing potable water consumption. TSE, while cost-effective and aligned with circular water goals, introduces high total dissolved solids (TDS >1,200 ppm), organic contaminants (COD 5–40 ppm), and microbial risks (e.g., Legionella). These factors accelerate scaling, corrosion and biofouling. These force operators to increase blowdown frequency and chemical dosing—undermining water conservation efforts and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, the use of potable water in arid areas exacerbates resource scarcity, leading to regulatory mandates for more sustainable options.
Solutions
Beyond Chemicals, Towards Clean Innovation
Traditional chemical treatments, such as zinc-based inhibitors and biocides, offer limited efficacy against slime and introduce environmental hazards. This creates a critical gap between regulatory demands for non-potable water use and the operational realities of maintaining system integrity. CT-100 by Bio-Organic Catalyst bridges this gap by addressing TSE’s limitations and reducing potable water dependency through advanced oxygenation and enzymatic processes, enabling higher cycles of concentration without hazardous chemicals. Ultimately, leading to reduced blowdowns.

Frequently Asked Question:
It’s all about keeping recycled water systems clean and flowing smoothly by breaking down gunk like oils and organic slime that clog pipes. Think of it as a tiny enzyme army plus oxygen bubbles that gobble up buildup and keep everything running efficiently.
Instead of blasting pipes with harsh chemicals that can eat away at the equipment and mess with the environment, this uses enzymes—natural protein catalysts—that gently digest the organic junk. Plus, the oxygen helps friendly bacteria thrive and outcompete the bad guys.
It means you can recycle the same water more times before dumping it. The treatment keeps the water clean enough to handle more reuse cycles, saving tons of water and cutting operational costs. Basically, stretching every drop farther without the usual clogs and gunk.
Tiny oxygen bubbles crank up dissolved oxygen levels, which basically starve out the bad bacteria that cause slime and odors. Meanwhile, oxygen-loving microbes get busy breaking down waste, making the system healthier overall.
Yep. It’s made from biodegradable stuff that won’t corrode pipes or harm wildlife. Unlike chemical biocides, it’s a gentle but effective way to keep systems clean without collateral damage.
For sure! It plays nice with cooling towers, irrigation, and other recycled water setups. No need for expensive retrofits—just add it, and let the enzymes and bubbles do their magic.
Less gunk buildup, clearer water, and longer-lasting gear. That means fewer cleanings, less chemical use, and fewer headaches dealing with clogged pipes.
By cutting down on toxic chemical use and improving water quality, it helps you comply with environmental rules around wastewater discharge and pollution.
Absolutely. It’s designed to keep performing even in tough conditions like high temperatures and mineral-rich water, perfect for arid or challenging climates.
You should see clearer water and less sludge within a few weeks. Keep using it regularly, and your system will stay cleaner longer, with less hassle and cost.
