About the TRASAR
®
3500 and 5500
The Nalco 3D TRASAR
®
5500 is the most advanced water treatment control system on the market
today. The design is based on years of field research and a broad base of industry experience and
application. The introduction and use of the 3D TRASAR 5500 will dramatically change the standard
for cost-efficient and reliable cooling tower control.
The Nalco 3D TRASAR Starter 3500 makes 3D TRASAR technology more accessible. It is customizable
to meet specific user needs, yet offers the flexibility for future upgrades to utilize all features of 3D
TRASAR.
Both systems are simple to use and feature powerful control algorithms that ensure tighter control,
more optimal performance, and requires a minimum of human oversight and testing. The end result is
a better, safer, more reliable system that runs more efficiently.
