iH2OM have a diverse range of cooling water scale and corrosion inhibitors that are suitable for a wide variety of water qualities and metallurgies. We also have an extensive range of oxidising and non-oxidising biocides that are proven to control microbiological activity. Our chemistries are enhanced by our iH2OM REAL TIME™ Cooling Tower (CT) control system.
Our comprehensive inhibitor chemistries are designed to prevent the formation of mineral scale and corrosion across a wide range of cooling water systems. They are tailored to the specific metallurgy and water quality of each site, ensuring that heat exchangers, condensers, and piping systems operate at peak efficiency while extending equipment life. These inhibitors also reduce energy consumption by maintaining optimal heat transfer surfaces.
A combination of oxidising and non‑oxidising biocides is used to control microbial growth and biofilm formation, which can cause blockages, corrosion, and efficiency loss. Our biocides are selected for both effectiveness and safety, ensuring that microbial control is achieved without compromising equipment or compliance with regulatory standards.
iH2OM offers a variety of side-stream filtration technologies, including cyclonic and multimedia filters, to remove suspended solids and other contaminants from cooling water. These systems reduce particulate load on the main cooling loop, prevent fouling, and contribute to longer-lasting chemical treatments, maintaining overall system efficiency.
Safe handling and storage of treatment chemicals is critical. We provide bundled storage solutions and containment infrastructure that comply with local and international Dangerous Goods regulations. Proper storage ensures chemical stability, reduces spill risks, and maintains a safe working environment for personnel.
Our advanced REAL TIME™ monitoring system continuously measures key parameters such as pH, conductivity, ORP, inhibitor concentration, and temperature. The system provides real-time alerts, automated dosing adjustments, and remote access for operators, ensuring consistent water quality and enabling proactive maintenance.
Scheduled site visits include chemical dosing checks, equipment calibration, and performance optimization. Our expert team reviews system operation, monitors water quality trends, and adjusts treatment programs as required, ensuring that cooling systems remain reliable, efficient, and compliant with environmental standards.
Our cooling water programs, and modes of operation are best practice in accordance with the Public Health Guidelines and with AS 3666. Our cooling water treatment strategy is based on sound microbial control, which is the basis for ensuring excellent scale, corrosion and fouling control.

The CSE approach combines Chemical, Service and Engineering expertise so cooling water performance is managed as a complete system. It helps balance scale, corrosion and microbiological control while improving reliability, reducing unplanned downtime and protecting critical assets.
A system review covers water quality, cycles of concentration, dosing and control, equipment condition, microbiological risk indicators and operating practices. It identifies opportunities to reduce corrosion and fouling, improve heat transfer and lower water and chemical use.
We align the program to your site requirements and relevant guidance, then review monitoring data and control measures to confirm the system is being managed within target limits. Where risks are identified, we provide a clear corrective plan and monitoring improvements.
Yes. We optimise existing cooling infrastructure through program tuning, targeted upgrades and practical control improvements, without unnecessary plant changes.
We focus on whole of life value by reducing corrosion, fouling and water loss while keeping the program practical to run. Safety is addressed through controlled chemical handling, dosing safeguards, clear procedures and fit for purpose monitoring.
