CycleBoost™
RUN MORE CYCLES. WASTE LESS WATER.
CycleBoost™ is TexxChem's performance acid additive package engineered for cooling tower and industrial water treatment applications. Authorized distributors blend CycleBoost™ into H₂SO₄ to produce a performance acid designed to extend Cycles of Concentration (CoC), control alkalinity and lower Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), protecting system metallurgy during continuous acid dosing, and improving cleaning effectiveness during periodic descaling treatments. CycleBoost™ applies to both continuous bleed-and-feed programs and scheduled descaling protocols.

THE PROBLEM
WHY STANDARD ACID FALL SHORT
CORROSION WITHOUT INHIBITION
Straight H₂SO₄ dosed for alkalinity control attacks basin materials, fill media, and heat exchanger tubes in the absence of inhibitor chemistry.
FUMING HAZARD DURING HANDLING
Straight acid produces significant vapor during transfer and dosing, increasing personnel exposure risk in occupied industrial facilities.
OVER-ACIDIFICATION AT INJECTION POINTS
Localized pH drops at the injection point can damage fill, coatings, and metallurgy -- a common failure mode with uninhibited acid dosing.
INCOMPLETE SCALE REMOVAL
Uninhibited acid during descaling risksbase metal attack and pitting without full contact with CaCO₃ deposits.
THE CycleBoost™ DIFFERENCE
A COMPLETE CHEMISTRY PACKAGE - IN ONE BLEND.
PROPRIETARY KINETIC MODERATOR
Patent-pending chemistry controls acid reaction rate, preventing localized over-acidification at injection points and ensuring controlled dissolution during descaling.
CORROSION INHIBITORS
Protect basin materials, fill media, heat exchanger tubes, and injection equipment during both pH-metered dosing and soak-cleaning treatments.
SCALE INHIBITORS (PBTC, HEDP)
Threshold inhibitors suppress CaCO₃ and phosphate scale formation in the recirculating water stream keeping mineral deposits in suspension between treatments.
DISPERSANTS
Acrylate co-polymers and silica dispersants prevent suspended solids and colloidal silica from depositing on heat transfer surfaces.
TWO TREATMENT MODES
CONTINOUS DOSING. PERIODIC DESCALING.
MODE 01 · CONTINOUS ACID DOSING
BLEED & FEED
CycleBoost™ enhanced acid is metered continuously into the recirculating water stream to control alkalinity and suppress LSI allowing the system to operate at higher CoC without scale formation. Corrosion inhibitors protect system metallurgy through ongoing acid exposure; the kinetic moderator prevents the rapid pH swings that cause localized damage with straight acid.
KEY RESULTS
Higher CoC within safe LSI operating window
Reduced makeup water demand and blowdown volume
Lower chemical treatment and disposal costs
Corrosion protection maintained across dosing cycle
MODE 02 · PERIODIC DESCALING
SCHEDULED SOAK & CIRCULATION
CycleBoost™ enhanced acid is applied as a scheduled soak or circulation treatment to dissolve existing CaCO₃ deposits from fill media, basin surfaces, and heat exchanger tubes. Surfactants improve wetting across all surfaces; the kinetic moderator prevents aggressive dissolution that causes pitting; corrosion inhibitors protect metallurgy through extended contact.
KEY RESULTS
Restored heat transfer efficiency
Extended interval between mechanical cleanings
Reduced unplanned downtime
Metallurgy protected during acid soak

OUTCOMES
WATER SAVED. ENERGY SAVED. COSTS REDUCED
01
WATER SAVINGS
CoC can be increased to 9 to 10 using CycleBoost™ technology, resulting in much higher water savings.
02
ENERGY SAVINGS
Each 1 mm of CaCO₃ scale reduces heat transfer efficiency by ~10% — increasing chiller energy consumption.
03
COST REDUCTION
Lower blowdown volume, reduced chemical treatment costs, and fewer unplanned cleaning shutdowns.
04
PLATFORM COMPATIBLE
Part of the TexxBoost™ line. Compatible with TexxGuard™, TexxSafe™, and TexxStim™ across all TexxChem programs.
