The facility's location in an industrial area of Fort Worth contributes to the local manufacturing ecosystem. Efficient operation of cooling towers is critical for energy and water conservation in industrial processes.

Cooling towers in Texas face environmental challenges related to water consumption and energy efficiency. Evaporative cooling systems, common in the region, consume large volumes of water and may require treatment to prevent scale and biological growth. The global warming potential of refrigerants used in associated chillers is a key concern, with regulations phasing down high-GWP HFCs under the Kigali Amendment and EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP).
