Cooling towers:
Disinfection without dangerous chemicals
Tired of dangerous chemicals and unstable cooling tower operation?
Many industrial companies use multiple types of hazardous chemicals for their cooling water treatment – while still struggling with serious safety risks and costly downtime caused by biofilm building up in the system.
Safer and more effective solution
Our disinfection solution replaces or reduces the need for hazardous chemicals, depending on the type of cooling tower. At the same time, it improves cooling water quality, biofilm control and operational stability.
An automated DCW unit is connected to the cooling tower and produces the disinfectant Neuthox directly on site using only salt, water and electricity.
The result is safer working conditions, more stable and effective operations, as well as lower total costs.
Safer disinfection using salt as a substance
Cooling towers in industrial companies
Our DCW solution is designed for water-based industrial cooling towers of all sizes, from approximately 200 kW and upwards.The disinfection unit is connected to the water basin at the bottom of the cooling tower and doses a precise concentration of the disinfectant into the cooling water. This ensures continuous disinfection throughout the system and supports stable operation.
Our solution has been tested, approved and used for more than 15 years.
Companies such as dairy giant Arla Foods and the engineering company Danfoss use it to achieve safe and efficient cooling in production.

Case: Documented results from Danfoss
Cleaner cooling water and higher uptime
That is exactly what the engineering company Danfoss has achieved after replacing strong chemicals with the DCW solution on cooling towers in its production areas.
“…the cooling water is actually cleaner than drinking water. The vessels are biofilm-free, and we never experience production shutdowns due to the formation of biofilm.”
– Martin Brander, Director, Danfoss
For more than a decade, the solution has helped prevent shutdowns, reduce costs and improve safety year after year.
Read the full Danfoss caseFrom biofilm to a clean cooling tower with low corrosion risk
When cooling water becomes contaminated, biofilm gradually builds up in the system – bacteria multiply rapidly, the risk of biological corrosion increases, and energy consumption rises.
Our cooling tower disinfection is highly effective against biofilm, as the images from a multinational dairy cooperative show. The biofilm was gone, and the cooling tower was clean two to three weeks after installation. No manual cleaning was involved.
