44 signed for each client to improve water system efficiencies and solve water treatment prob- lems. The service ensures that water treatment chemicals are properly fed into the system to keep it running cleanly and efficiently, while protecting against potential corrosion or scale buildup. Equipment is put in place to help monitor the system. Unfortunately, some cli- ents can’t afford the technology, so Chem-Aqua specialists have to train them to understand what to look for. Gravelle reports, “It’s becom- ing more and more apparent that customers do need the remote monitoring devices that look at their system more closely. So Chem- Aqua is working, with those customers, trying to be a source of technology and knowledge.” Chem-Aqua is recognized as one of the world’s largest middle market water treatment com- panies. Their customers include commercial office buildings, universities, hotels, and hospi- tals, as well as a wide range of manufacturing and food processing plants. Any facility that uses water for HVAC or process cooling and heating requires an effective water treatment program, and is a potential Chem-Aqua client. Involvement with industry associations is a major networking priority. Chem-Aqua is a member of the Association of Water Technolo- gies (AWT), the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), the International District Energy As- sociation (IDEA), the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), the National Renderers As- sociation (NRA), LEED Certifications, and Cana- CHEM-AQUA, INC.
