Solid Chemical Water Treatments

Solid chemical water treatments provide a safer, more compact and efficient alternative to traditional liquid chemicals for boilers and closed circuit systems.

As a leading water treatment chemical manufacturer, we recognise the proven effectiveness of liquid chemicals, which remain widely used across the industry. However, liquid products can present practical challenges on certain sites, including storage requirements, manual handling issues and the risk of chemical spills.

Chemical drums are often bulky and heavy, taking up valuable space and making transportation difficult, particularly in confined or restricted areas. There is also an increased risk to personnel from handling and potential spillages.

 

A Practical Alternative To Liquid Chemicals

Solid chemicals offer a reliable solution to these challenges. Our solid chemical range delivers the same performance as liquid treatments, while helping to reduce storage space, improve handling safety and minimise spill risks.

These products are used with compact, wall-mounted dosing units. The solid product is mixed with water to create a solution or emulsion, which is then dosed into the system. The resulting liquid performs the same functions as traditional liquid treatments, including:

- Scale prevention
- Corrosion protection
- Microbial control

This approach combines the effectiveness of liquid dosing with the practical benefits of solid storage and handling.

 

Easy Integration With Existing Systems

For sites currently using liquid chemical treatment programmes, our solid chemicals can often be integrated with existing pumps, controllers and dosing equipment, where appropriate.

This flexibility means both small and large systems can benefit from the advantages of solid chemical treatment without the need for major system changes.

By offering both liquid and solid options, B & V Chemicals gives you and your customers greater choice and flexibility to select the most suitable solution for each site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are solid chemical water treatments?
Solid chemical water treatments are water treatment products supplied in solid form rather than as liquids. They are dissolved or mixed with water using a dosing unit to create a solution that is then dosed into the system, providing the same performance as traditional liquid chemicals.
Are solid chemicals as effective as liquid water treatment chemicals?
Yes. When correctly applied, solid chemical treatments deliver the same level of scale control, corrosion protection and microbial control as liquid products. The key difference is in storage, handling and dosing method, not performance.
What systems are solid chemical treatments suitable for?
Solid chemical treatments are commonly used in:
- Cooling towers and cooling water systems
- Steam and hot water boilers
- Closed-circuit heating and chilled water systems

They are particularly beneficial on sites with limited storage space or restricted access.
Can solid chemicals be used with existing dosing equipment?
In many cases, solid chemical programmes can be integrated with existing pumps and controllers. In other cases, a compact solid dosing unit may be recommended. Our technical team can advise on the most suitable setup for your system.
Are solid chemicals safer to handle than liquids?
Solid chemicals can reduce the risks associated with manual handling, leaks and spillages compared to liquid drums. They are easier to store, lighter to handle and help improve overall site safety when used correctly and in line with COSHH guidance.
Do solid treatments help reduce storage space?
Yes. Solid products are more compact than liquid drums, helping to free up valuable plant room space and simplify chemical storage on site.
Can I switch from liquid to solid water treatment chemicals?
In most cases, yes. Many systems can be converted from liquid to solid treatment with minimal disruption. We recommend a technical review to ensure the correct products and dosing arrangements are selected.
