Tackling Regional Water Scarcity: VCS Debuts Tailored Cooling Water Line at Texas Water 2021

Addressing the growing challenges of water scarcity and highly brackish groundwater in the American Southwest, Texas-based VCS traveled to Austin recently to participate in Texas Water 2021.

At this year’s event, the VCS engineering team spent substantial time discussing practical ways for local power and chemical plants to reduce cooling tower blowdown. To meet this need, the company showcased its next-generation industrial cooling water chemicals. Engineered with a proprietary, fully organic blend that eliminates traditional inorganic phosphorus, these formulations deliver exceptional dual-action scale and corrosion inhibition even under tight concentration cycles.

The exchange on the floor was highly practical. VCS engineers ran live water quality simulations based on operational data from real regional industrial sites. “Texas is our home basin,” noted a company manager. “Local operations don’t just need advanced chemistries; they require immediate on-site technical response. Being rooted here means our engineers can be on-site within 24 hours—a commitment standard multinational providers struggle to match.” This hands-on service approach helped VCS secure preliminary chemical supply and tech support commitments from several regional utility plants during the show.
