SUSTAINABLE WATER TREATMENT FOR REGION 8 COOLING TOWERS

Alternative water treatment program for multiple buildings in Region 8. The WCTI system is a proprietary technology that was initially sole-sourced for the Green Proving Ground program. This technology provided such overall positive results that it has remained in operation over the last 4 years as a decision made from the GSA facility manager and O&M contractor. GSA extended its commitment to sustainability under Executive Order 13693. In response to the Executive Order, GSA set new goals to meet these requirements. This project is directed at water reduction of our facilities cooling towers. This technology was tested in Region 8 as a Green Proving Ground pilot program. The results of our study have proven successful water savings, eliminated standard chemical technology, and resulted in cleaner chillers and cooling towers. This effort is covered under the Acquisition Plan AP_P08_2016_440 – Sustainable Water Treatment for Regional Cooling Towers.
