Our History
Our Origins
Incorporated in 2005 by three visionary engineers, HVS Engineering Pte Ltd set out to revolutionize industrial cleaning technology. Recognized early as an EDB SEEDS Enterprise, HVS grew into a SPRING SEEDS investee company backed by Enterprise Singapore.
Pioneering Tube Cleaning
HVS pioneered the Automatic Online Tube Cleaning System using specialized spiky balls of varying densities to ensure complete tube coverage. Harnessing hydrodynamic forces, our patented off-centered design creates a Dynamic Zig-Zag Mechanical Cleaning Process that thoroughly cleans internal tube grooves without interrupting operations.
Green Innovation & Water Treatment
Partnering with A*STAR IMRE in 2013, HVS engineered the HVS-ECA System — a chemical-free cooling tower water treatment technology awarded the prestigious SGBC 4-Tick certification in 2019.
Advanced Microbiological Monitoring
Expanding our collaboration with A*STAR IMRE in 2016, HVS developed a rapid Total Bacteria Quantification Protocol. Today, we use this proprietary protocol for ongoing bacterial trend monitoring in cooling towers, enabling early detection and proactive control of bio-risks.
Our Energy and Water Saving Solutions
HVS Engineering provides cost-effective energy and water-saving solutions for heat exchanger systems and cooling towers. We offer an improved automated method of cleaning and maintaining fluid-cooled tubes and shell heat exchanger systems which utilizes design-specific resilient brush balls circulating within part of the heat exchange system to clean foulings at the initial stage of formation. It is able to continuously circulate the brush balls through the tubes as compared to the intermittent cleaning sequence of the old system. This is to ensure fouling would not have any chance to occur. These specially designed spiky/brush balls can also reach and clean the grooves of the tube which are inaccessible to larger sponge balls. HVS Brush Balls’ unique property results in more effective cleaning and is reflected in the savings of at least 10 to 18% in electricity bills.
HVS Engineering provides an effective chemical-free water treatment system that has been vigorously reviewed and certified by Singapore Green Building Council with SGBC 4 ticks (LEADER) under the category Cooling Tower Water Treatment—Physical Devices which is suitable for open loop and close loop water distribution system. HVS has maintained constant efforts in improving our product efficacy and aspired to realize benefits of sustainable water savings through smart technology. Water savings of between 15 to 20% has been validated in our past projects.
HVS-ECA System is essentially ElectroChemical Activation – utilising electricity to activate the production of oxidizing chemicals for managing the water quality of cooling towers. The unique features of HVS-ECA System for cooling tower application is the electrolytic water softening process and the onsite water disinfection system integrated with real-time water quality monitoring system for pH, TDS, ORP, Free Chlorine and Corrosion. HVS-ECA System continuously converting dissolved hardness ions (Calcium & Magnesium) from bulk water and extracting them physically as scale deposit out of the cooling water system and it enables cooling towers to operate at a much higher COC > 20 – hence savings water by 10 to 20%. No chemicals are needed as HVS-ECA System generate oxidising agents onsite.
In addition, HVS is able to offer a total package for chemical-free water treatment system for both the open loop (condenser cooling tower water) and close loop (evaporator cooling water) – to manage the water quality by utilizing HVS-WQM System and using HVS-RBQ System (TBQ & TLD) – a proprietary rapid total bacterial detection and quantification system to monitor the bacterial trend over time
