Power and energy plants that partner with CRB Water achieve reliable operation, maintain peak efficiency, and extend equipment life through integrated feed and control of advanced treatment programs.
  • Maximize uptime and reliability
  • Improve efficiency and performance
  • Extend equipment life

CRB Water helps power and energy facilities protect critical assets—turbines, boilers, and cooling systems—from outages, rising operating costs, and performance loss.

Downtime Risks
Scale, corrosion, and deposits reduce heat-transfer efficiency, lower power output, and trigger unplanned outages. Each hour offline cuts production, disrupts load schedules, and impacts profitability.
Regulatory & Environmental Pressure
Strict EPA and state regulations demand tight control over emissions, chemical handling, and environmental performance. Noncompliance can result in fines, forced derates, or costly remediation efforts.
Asset Degradation
Untreated or poorly managed water accelerates boiler tube leaks, condenser scaling, and cooling tower inefficiency. These issues shorten equipment life, inflate maintenance budgets, and increase risk of forced outages.

Applications

Critical power applications

CRB Water delivers targeted solutions that keep power generation and cogeneration facilities running efficiently, reliably, and safely. Our programs address the unique water challenges in boiler, cooling, and pretreatment systems, where uptime, energy efficiency, and asset protection are mission critical.

Boiler Water Systems

CRB Water provides advanced treatment programs that protect boilers from scale, corrosion, and carryover. Our tailored chemistries, pretreatment equipment, and monitoring help safeguard steam purity, extend asset life, and ensure efficient fuel use—critical for power plants relying on consistent, uninterrupted steam generation.

Cooling Water Systems

We deliver comprehensive cooling tower programs that control scale, corrosion, and biological growth while improving heat transfer efficiency. Our team designs data-driven treatment and flow studies to lower energy use, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent costly downtime in power generation and industrial cooling operations.

Condensate Return Systems

CRB Water safeguards condensate return lines from corrosion and contamination. Monitoring, polishing, and precise corrosion control maintain condensate purity, reduce return-line losses, and minimize blowdown—helping plants cut fuel costs and improve overall thermal efficiency.

Demineralization & High-Purity Water Systems

Reliable high-purity water is essential for steam and turbine systems. CRB Water designs, installs, and optimizes RO, ion exchange, and polishing systems to ensure consistent feedwater quality. These solutions protect downstream equipment, prevent scaling and fouling, and maintain steady generation performance.

Closed-Loop Systems

Auxiliary heating and cooling loops require protection from corrosion, scaling, and microbial growth. CRB Water’s closed-loop treatment programs extend the life of pumps, exchangers, and piping by maintaining clean, efficient heat transfer and preventing leaks or system failures.

Cogeneration Facilities

In combined heat and power operations, water quality directly impacts energy efficiency and reliability. CRB Water supports cogeneration plants with optimized boiler and cooling water programs, advanced monitoring, and expert consulting to maximize performance, protect capital equipment, and deliver dependable energy output.
