Control total suspended solids TSS-System Opticare
Control total suspended solids TSS-System Opticare-An essential tool for Your Cooling Water System
The Challenge
Cooling water quality depends on factors like TDS, pH, alkalinity, hardness, and suspended solids (TSS). While some parameters can be controlled, TSS is unavoidable due to air intake in cooling towers, which introduces dirt, dust, and gases.
Key contributors to high TSS levels include:
- Airborne pollutants – Wind, local pollution, vehicle emissions, and industrial surroundings
- Corrosion & microbial growth – These generate suspended particles, causing fouling and scale buildup
- Higher TDS concentrations – Poor water quality leads to frequent blowdowns and increased chemical usage
Without proper filtration, heat transfer efficiency drops, energy costs rise, and maintenance efforts increase.
The Eximious Solution – System Opticare
System Opticare is an advanced multi-layer filtration system featuring specially activated media of different grades. This ensures:
- Superior Dirt Holding Capacity – Captures more suspended solids for cleaner water
- Enhanced Separation – Specially activated media improves filtration efficiency
- Reduced Backwash Water Consumption – Less frequent backwashing means significant water savings
Key Features
- Reduced Blowdown Frequency – Innovative filtration minimizes water wastage
- Lower Chemical Usage – Cleaner water reduces the need for chemical treatments
- Minimal Fouling – Prevents scale buildup, biofouling, and particulate deposits
- Improved Heat Transfer – Cleaner water enhances system efficiency, reducing energy consumption
- Higher System Reliability – Keeps cooling systems running smoothly and disruption-free
Benefits
- Water Conservation – Less blowdown means reduced water waste

Case Studies
Reducing ETP Load and Saving Water
A manufacturing company wanted to reduce the load on its Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and conserve water. The existing sand filter in its system required frequent backwashing, which consumed a large amount of water. Regular backwashing was essential to maintain proper water quality, as insufficient backwashing resulted in higher levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The company reached out to Eximious, known for its simple and innovative approaches to industrial challenges.
Water Saving and Automation in raw water Filtration
A company was supplied raw water which used to be turbid sometimes. With limited trained personnel, frequent backwashing of its sand filter was both labour-intensive and water-intensive. Due to high turbidity in the water, frequent backwashing was essential to maintain clarity. The company reached out to Eximious, known for simple and innovative water-saving solutions.
