Chemicals Global a proud DuBois Chemicals distributor, has a deep, encompassing product line to service most every water treatment application. Innovative products are designed to minimize water, energy, and chemical usage, while meeting your goals of achieving wastewater discharge requirements or providing cooling and boiler systems free from scale, corrosion, and bacteria growth.
We offer products for the following water treatment applications:
Water Safety:
While a focus for the treatment of water systems for decades, water safety and risk management has become a particular emphasis over the last few years. From ASHRAE specifications, to CDC recommendations, and to government rules, laws, and regulations, the development of Water Safety Plans has become a requirement for owners of buildings with water systems such as cooling towers, fountains, spas and hot water distribution systems. Through its AquaAnalytics Data Management, Service and Water Management Program, DuBois has the tools to effectively develop, implement, and execute Water Safety plans for your facility.
In addition to the AquaAnalytics platform, we offer a full product line of solutions to help minimize the risk of Legionella in your building, including:
- Oxidizing and non-oxidizing microbiocides
- Monitoring and Control Equipment
- Point of Use Filtration
- Secondary Disinfection Equipment
Products for Cooling Water Treatment:
Our cooling water treatment programs inhibit general corrosion, prevent scale formation on heat exchange surfaces, minimize deposits on all surfaces, prevent biological fouling, and control bacteria levels, including Legionella, in recirculating water.
The cost of your water management program represents approximately 2–4% of the overall operating costs to run your cooling system. Just 1/32” of scale can increase chiller electricity consumption by 27%. That’s why it’s important to invest in a well-executed program that delivers results over the asset life cycle.
We implement proven water reduction solutions that complement your overall water conservation strategy. If available in your area, our Professional Engineers can help you obtain a municipal sewer water rebate that in many cases can pay for the entire water management bill.
Our proprietary and award-winning* cloud-based software, AquaAnalytics, measures our performance at every step to consistently meet or exceed our quality targets. AquaAnalytics uses sophisticated logic to prevent poor results by driving action within our ISO 9001–registered service workflow to rectify the issue. We provide monthly hands-on service visits and same-day response to reports of program deviations. Ask us about our online customer portal and operator logbook application, which provide convenient access to consolidated information.
Boiler Water Treatment:
We are able to provide you with comprehensive lines of chemical treatment and equipment solutions for all your steam boiler operational challenges. We will help you:
- Ensure high quality steam production.
- Maximize efficiency and minimize operational costs by providing the cleanest possible boiler tubes through the use of premium scale and sludge conditioners.
- Minimize blowdown and total water consumption.
- Minimize chemical consumption and equipment requirements.
- Meet your safety, conservation and sustainability goals.
- Avoid downtime and the repair/replacement costs of failed system components by effectively controlling corrosion:
- In the feedwater/pre-boiler system
- Inside the boiler
- Throughout the steam and condensate return systems.
Waste Water Treatment:
Chemicals Global understands that your wastewater effluent must satisfy your facility and environmental requirements. Our treatment solutions minimize contaminants in your water by controlling:
- Suspended Solids
- Heavy Metals
- Biological/Chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD/COD)
- Oily Waste (FOG)
- Odors
- Foam
To control these parameters, we offer a complete line of wastewater treatment solutions including,
- Anionic and Cationic Floculants
- Coagulants
- Polymers and polyamines
- Inorganics, including iron, calcium, and aluminum products
- Synergistic blends of organic polymers with inorganic chemistries
- Precipitation agents
- Odor control chemistries (for general odors as well as sulfide-specific odors)
- Defoamers – water, oil, and silicone based
Water Pretreatment:
Softener, dealkalizer, deionizers, reverse osmosis systems, media filtration units – let our engineers determine which proven solution has the best return for you. Our customized equipment is sized and fabricated in-house to suit your specific application.
Ensuring reliable operation is critical to the success of the overall water treatment program. We are trained and equipped to provide immediate troubleshooting and repair to minimize downtime.
We measure and track performance to ensure peak efficiency and lower the cost of operation. We optimize regenerant use, and extend resin and membrane life through brine elution studies, membrane fouling analysis and CIP (Clean in Place).
Paint Booth Maintenance:
We have pioneered paint detacktification in a water wash paint booths and has supported paint booth maintenance teams for over 70 years. Our comprehensive product offering will deliver a clean paint booth and maximize your paint line efficiently.
As you adopt new paint technologies to improve the performance of your products, DuBois will partner with you and your coating supplier to meet your detacktification and booth maintenance needs.
Our paint spray booth solutions include:
- Alkalinity control with Liquid PB Buffer and other alkaline products
- Detackification with our Poly D-Tac product line, including performance additives
- Kick-out polymers from our Wastewater Treatment line: Ready-To-Use (RTU) liquids, and emulsions
- Defoamers to manage the foam layer caused by some paints
- Maskants, featuring our Filmite line, to protect the non-wetted surfaces from paint overspray.
Close Loop Treatment:
Closed loop systems are used to heat and cool HVAC, commercial and industrial systems by re-circulating the same water over and over again. There are a wide variety of system types, but the operational configuration that they typically have in common is isolation from the source of heating or cooling through a secondary heat exchanger (typically a boiler, cooling tower or chiller on the other side of the heat exchanger).
Closed loop systems are best tightly sealed with minimal water losses and makeup, and are often pressurized. But, systems with open-sumps or with high water losses are very common in certain industries, such as plastic injection molding. Specialized products are needed to control corrosion, scaling and biological fouling within the diversity of closed loop systems and makeup water qualities.
DuBois offers a comprehensive line of products to effectively treat a wide variety of closed loop systems:
- Traditional nitrite-based products for tightly-closed hot and cold systems
- Specialized, nitrite-free treatments for systems with open sumps or high makeup levels
- Low-conductivity products for high-energy systems and other closed loops with strict limitations on water chemistry
- Glycol-based fluids for systems where freeze protection or boiling point elevation are required
- Specialized products to protect systems with vulnerable metallurgies such as aluminum
- NSF approved and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) products for food plant closed loops where there is concern of incidental food contact
- Superior bio-control agents for bio-active closed systems.
Clean-Up Products:
Water system cleaning products ensure that your systems are free of corrosion by-products, mineral scales, oils, organics and other efficiency-stealing deposits. Our specialized formulations will clean up cooling towers, closed loop systems, boilers, process equipment and more, including softener resins and RO/UF membranes.
Our comprehensive water system cleaning product offerings include:
- Multipurpose Acidic Blends Concentrated mineral acid and more-gentle, organic acid based options for your general cleaning and descaling needs.
Multipurpose acidic products are designed to be used in systems with a variety of iron and copper based metals. - Galvanized-Safe Acidic Descalers
