Challenge

Jamkhandi Sugars Ltd faced challenges with their existing cooling tower systems. They experienced issues with biofilm formation and algae bloom, which led to inefficiencies and increased water consumption. Additionally, the traditional cooling tower chemicals were not providing the desired results and required frequent blowdown, leading to higher operational costs.

Solution

Jamkhandi Sugars Ltd implemented Biocatalysts Eco-cat, a product supplied by Gayatri Impex, in their eco-gen cooling tower and E2-condensate treatment system. Biocatalysts Eco-cat known for its catalytic action that enhances the efficiency of cooling systems.

Implementation

Biocatalysts Eco-cat was used in the cooling towers to replace conventional chemicals. The integration process was straightforward, ensuring minimal disruption to the ongoing operations at Jamkhandi Sugars Ltd.

Results

  • Chemical Replacement: BOC successfully replaced conventional cooling tower chemicals.
  • Reduced Blowdown: There was a noticeable decrease in blowdown frequency, which contributed to lower water wastage.
  • Water Conservation: Significant water savings were achieved for make-up volume, ensuring more sustainable operations.
  • Biofilm and Algae Control: BOC effectively controlled biofilm and algae bloom in the cooling tower, leading to cleaner and more efficient cooling systems.
