How Top-Performing Facilities Achieve Near-Zero Blowdown in Cooling Towers: A Shanghai ChiMay Analysis Blowdown eats 25–40% of total make-up water consumption in conventional cooling tower operations—the single largest controllable water loss in an open recirculating system. Yet a growing number of facilities worldwide have cut blowdown by 80–95% from baseline, and some are effectively at…

Everything Facility Managers Need to Know About AOP Cooling Tower Retrofits: A Shanghai ChiMay Guide AOP retrofits for cooling towers have grown at a compound annual rate of 34% since 2023, and it’s not hard to see why. Water scarcity, climbing chemical costs and Legionella regulations are pushing facilities in this direction. The payoff numbers…
9 Warning Signs Your Cooling Tower Water Chemistry Is Off-Track—Detected Early by Shanghai ChiMay Sensors Up to 70% of cooling tower performance issues trace back to water chemistry that drifted off-spec, and most of them are correctable without shutting anything down—if they’re caught early. Continuous sensor monitoring typically flags these upsets 4–48 hours before traditional…
6 Common Mistakes Facilities Make With Cooling Tower Water Chemistry—And How Shanghai ChiMay Sensors Help U.S. industrial facilities lose an estimated USD 1.2 billion a year to cooling tower chemistry that goes wrong—excess energy consumption, equipment damage and unplanned downtime, per the National Association of Water Professionals (2025). In our field work, almost all of…
