TES APPLICATIONS
Application pathways for TES pilots.
TES pilots follow baseline → intervention → review using condenser indicators (TR, TTD, vacuum) with traceable dosing records.
This is how the TES system is applied in practice.
Condenser Efficiency
for Power Generation.
At wet-cooled stations, TES focuses on the condenser as a critical performance node. We review output losses linked to back-pressure decay and test whether surface condition improvements are visible in matched site data.
Vacuum Review
Compare kPa and heat-transfer indicators against baseline data.
Station Fitment
Relevant to wet-cooled units where baseline data shows condenser fouling or unstable TR/TTD.
Cooling Tower Preservation
& Asset Integrity.
Outside the utility sector, cooling towers are critical production assets. TES can be assessed where biomass accumulation in fill packs may contribute to airflow restriction, weight gain or cleaning burden.
Asset Condition
Review fill condition, weight gain risk and cleaning burden.
Heavy Industry Focus
Designed for mines, refineries, and petrochemical plants.
The same four TES building blocks, applied to different sites.
Regardless of site, TES is always built from the same elements: Mexel®432, IoT-enabled dosing, a cooling-water performance view and a verification framework. The application details change by station or plant.
Mexel®432 chemistry
Assessed for once-through and recirculating systems using river, dam, mine or seawater. Focused on site-specific biofouling, corrosion, scaling and solids-dispersion risks at the cold end.
TES dosing skid (Thingy:91X)
IoT-enabled dosing units sized for station or plant circuits, with level sensing, logging and remote configuration for transparent dosing records.
Cooling-water data view
Simple dashboards linking dosing history with TR, TTD, vacuum and other key indicators, tailored for each station or industrial plant.
Verification framework
References ASME PTC 12.2 methodology for stations where applicable, and adapts to industrial sites with clear baselines, interventions and reviews.
Example TES pilot structures
Eskom wet-cooled unit pilot
- • Select one unit and associated cooling-water circuits.
- • Define KPIs: TR, TTD, vacuum stability, key chemistry parameters.
- • Collect baseline data using RT&D protocol structure.
- • Install TES dosing skid and start Mexel®432 treatment.
- • Monitor performance and compare to baseline.
- • Optional: independent technical review where required.
Industrial cooling-water pilot
- • Identify the most critical cooling-water loop or exchanger bank.
- • Agree on metrics: heat-exchanger performance, downtime, cleaning frequency.
- • Establish a realistic baseline period.
- • Apply Mexel®432 via a TES dosing skid under controlled conditions.
- • Track performance, inspections and cleaning intervals.
- • Decide on extension based on documented technical observations.
Exploring TES for your station or plant.
We start with a short technical discussion: your current cooling-water configuration, constraints and data. From there we can propose a TES pilot that is realistic for your site and aligned with your existing protocols.
