The Challenge with Traditional Inhibitors

Why facilities are moving away from petroleum-based chemistries

For decades, cooling water systems have relied on harsh, petroleum-based inhibitors. While common, these chemistries create long-term challenges.

Petroleum Dependency

Conventional inhibitors rely on petroleum-based compounds, increasing chemical handling, storage, and environmental concerns.

Better Scale & Corrosion Inhibition

Deposits such as calcium carbonate and corrosion product lowers efficiency, drives-up energy costs and reduces equipment life.

Downtime & Cleaning

Deposits on heat transfer surfaces reduce production capacity and require costly, complex cleaning.

Sustainability Roadblocks

High chemical use and discharge run counter to sustainability commitments. EnviroTrac is effective at lower dosage rates than common petroleum-based products.  

EnviroTrac Cooling Water Inhibitors

Scale and corrosion control without the petroleum footprint

EnviroTrac uses plant-derived biopolymers and renewable chemistries to inhibit scale, prevent corrosion, and improve system cleanliness. Unlike traditional inhibitors, EnviroTrac works effectively on calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and iron salts, outperforming conventional polyacrylate-based programs.

Protecting metal assets with hydrophobic film technology

EnviroTrac’s adsorption inhibitors form a durable, hydrophobic protective layer that prevents corrosion across a wide range of water conditions.

  • Strong, uniform corrosion film formation
  • Verified corrosion rate reduction
  • Extended equipment life and fewer cleanings

Performance & Cleaning

Performance-&-cleaning
Enhanced system cleanliness and biocide support

EnviroTrac carriers keep inhibitors active until they reach critical metal surfaces, while also removing old lime and corrosion deposits to restore heat transfer efficiency.

  • Gradual removal of old lime and corrosion deposits
  • Helps condition surfaces and improve the effectiveness of existing biocide programs  
  • Ongoing system cleanliness and heat transfer efficiency

Sustainability Integration
