Problem

RWE Power AG, one of Germany's leading energy supply companies, was faced with the problem of algae growth in its cooling water tanks. These algae not only affected the water quality but also the efficiency of the cooling systems. It was therefore necessary to find an effective solution that could permanently prevent the growth of algae.

Solution

After carefully examining various options, RWE Power AG decided to use our innovative Bird Balls. These special balls consist of a black, impermeable outer shell that greatly reduces the penetration of light into the cooling water. By reducing the amount of light, algae growth is effectively prevented.

Results

The implementation of this solution quickly showed impressive results. The water in the cooling tanks remained clear and free of algae. In addition, chemical additives that were previously used to combat algae could be completely avoided, even during periods of extremely hot weather.

customer testimonial

Dipl.-Ing. Steven Limbeck, Head of the Refining Division at RWE Power AG, expressed his great satisfaction with the use of Bird Balls:

"The hoped-for expectations of the shading measure have so far been fully fulfilled. The water is clear and free of algae. We were able to completely avoid using additional chemicals even during the very hot periods. So the use of the balls has been a complete success for us."

Conclusion

The introduction of Bird Balls at RWE Power AG is an outstanding example of an innovative and sustainable solution for algae prevention. This project underlines the effectiveness and environmental friendliness of our products and their contribution to the optimization of industrial processes.
