HiCycler® is a patented, sidestream, organic, chelate driven, water conservation process. This treatment method achieves higher cycles of concentration, contains scale, corrosion and fouling inhibitors and reduces blowdown by 95%. The maximum cycles of concentration is determined by the quality of the drift eliminators and not by control limitations normally associated with hardness, silica and iron. This “green technology” has successfully controlled systems since 2007.

HiCycler is an integrated process that meets all the design performance parameters for conventional programs while operating at and/or near zero liquid discharge. These parameters include scale, corrosion and fouling control and microbiological contamination prevention without risking hardness, silica and/or iron based fouling.

Most of the hardness, silica and iron are collected in the fluid bed where it is removed in the blowdown and/or collected in a filter chamber. HiCycler removes 0.5 to 4 pounds of hardness Total Hardness, Silica and Iron per gallon of blowdown water. The blowdown water contains 6% to 36% Total Hardness, Silica and Iron in the fluid bed mixture.

The sidestream flow to the Fluid Bed Reactor is normally 0.3% of the recirculation rate. Clear water from the top of the reactor is returned to the cooling tower for reuse. Also, the HiCycler Process can use some facility reject water. Reusing water increases profits and saves thousands of gallons of water.

HiCycler only requires a small footprint. For example, a system that operates with a circulation rate of 100,000 gpm uses a 304 Stainless Steel Fluid Bed Reactor that is eight (8) feet in diameter.

The innovative HiCycler® Process provides greater latitude in operating parameters that dramatically conserves water usage and significantly reduces the total costs of operations…and, the result is an efficient cooling tower water treatment system that saves money.
