Non-Phosphorous Program

Nero’s non-phosphorous program engineered to deliver comprehensive protection against deposition (scale) and corrosion in open recirculating cooling water systems. Notably, this is achieved without the utilization of any phosphorus or EPA priority pollutant materials.

The removal of phosphates typically employed for corrosion inhibition and deposit control offers several significant advantages:

1. Elimination of Calcium Phosphate Deposition: By removing phosphates, the risk of costly calcium phosphate deposition is eradicated, ensuring enhanced system efficiency and reducing the need for maintenance.
2. Reduction of Nutrient Load: With the absence of phosphates, the nutrient load in the water, which can act as fuel for biological and algae growth, is significantly reduced.
3. Compliance with Stricter Phosphate Discharge Limits: This approach enables compliance with more stringent phosphate discharge regulations without requiring expensive equipment solutions.
4. Simplified Program: The simplicity of the non-phosphorous program contributes to improved safety, reduced acid usage and handling, decreased program complexity, and minimized chemical handling.
5. Environmental and Social Benefits: Non-phosphorous program stands out as the only cooling water program that helps customers address social challenges, enhance brand and community image, with a novel chemical approach that minimally impacts the surrounding environment.
