ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
In this episode of Chemical Processing's Distilled podcast, Editor-in-Chief Traci Purdum talks with water treatment expert Brad Buecker about the hidden risks of remote cooling systems scattered around large plants. Buecker explains how scale formation and microbiological fouling quietly degrade heat transfer, why cooling towers concentrate impurities and complicate chemistry, and why monthly vendor visits often aren't enough. He stresses online instrumentation, reliable biocide feed and trained staff who act on data. Buecker also shares cautionary tales, including a boiler kept online to earn $30,000 that required more than $2 million in repairs, and his family's connection to Legionnaires' disease.
