How We Eliminated $150K in Annual Costs for a Data Center
The Challenge: Corrosion, High Costs & Inefficiency
A data center was experiencing severe corrosion and excessive biological growth in its closed-loop chiller system. The result?
- Increased energy costs due to heat exchanger inefficiencies.
- Frequent manual cleanings—costing $125,000 per year in labor.
- Risk of system failure and costly repairs.
The root cause? Misapplied chlorine bleach, which failed to control bacteria but accelerated corrosion, clogging strainers and heat exchangers.
The Solution: Smarter Water Management
Your Water Dr. Inc. was brought in to identify the problem, restore efficiency, and cut costs. Within six months, we:
- Eliminated harmful chlorine treatments and introduced an effective biocide.
- Optimized pH levels and corrosion inhibitors.
- Installed advanced filtration, reducing particle count by 99%.
- Protected yellow metals like copper and brass from corrosion.
- Reduced biological contamination from 1,000x above limits to safe levels.
The Results: $150K Saved & Peak System Performance Restored
- Eliminated $150,000/year in unnecessary costs (cleaning, repairs, and inefficiencies).
- Extended equipment lifespan by preventing further corrosion.
- Reduced operational spend on chemicals and labor.
- Optimized cooling performance, cutting energy waste.
