Side-stream particle precipitation
ElectroCell Systems
Suspended solids cut heat transfer, drive up makeup water, and quietly inflate your chiller bill every month. ElectroCell side-stream particle precipitation cleans the loop and gives the kilowatts back.
The problem
Dirty Water is a Line Item on Your Energy Bill
Cooling tower water often looks like chocolate milk. Pollen, airborne dust, scale, and biological growth ride the loop every hour your tower runs.
That sediment coats condenser tubes, collapses heat transfer, and forces the chiller to work harder for the same load. The result shows up as higher kW per ton, higher makeup water draw, and a maintenance schedule that never gets ahead.

The Solution
Electrocell is Particle Precipitation, Not Filtration
ElectroCell is a fully automated, skid-mounted side-stream system that uses three patented technologies, low- and high-voltage DC ionization paired with a touchscreen-controlled precipitator, to drop suspended solids out of the water continuously.
No media. No backwash. No bag changes. It installs in under two days, integrates with your BAS over BACnet, and runs alongside your existing chemical program rather than replacing it.
Low-Voltage DC Ionizers
Charge particles in the side-stream so they aggregate instead of recirculating.
High-Voltage DC Precipitator
Drops solids out of suspension into the collection chamber. No media to change.
Touchscreen HMI
Local control, trend data, and BACnet/IP integration with your BMS — out of the box.
Energy Savings
Increasing thermo transfer and system efficiency will net an average energy savings of 12–15%.
Better Payback
Validated ROI of 24–30 months, plus continuous year-after-year savings.
Simple Installation
Simple installation with minimal down time — typically less than 2 business days.
Water Savings
Reduce make-up water by 20–30% by increasing equipment efficiency, focusing on evaporation rates rather than extending bleed cycles.
Enhances Chemicals
Optimize chemical performance by removing 95% of suspended solids down to one micron and controlling total dissolved solids throughout the system.
Maintenance Savings
A clean system will reduce much of the equipment maintenance and extend equipment life cycles.
Replace It Right. Leave it Better.
Every Month You Wait, Cost You
The energy penalty compounds. Fouled tubes mean the chiller runs longer to hold setpoint. Longer runtime accelerates wear on chillers, pumps, and fans. Bleed cycles climb to manage total dissolved solids, which spikes water and sewer charges.
And in any building with vulnerable occupants, biofilm in the loop is a Legionella exposure your team cannot afford to carry. Sand filters and bag filters do not solve this. They catch what is large and let the rest keep circulating.
