09-19: Progressing the Frontier of Cooling Water Process Control Corrosion

09-19: Progressing the Frontier of Cooling Water Process Control CorrosionFor the past several decades, industrial and non industrial users and operators of open cooling water systems have realized a steady stream of developments and innovations in the automation and control of cooling water system chemistry. This paper discusses the performance of a new innovation for the measurement and control of polymeric dispersants used in cooling water systems and the advance moves in the industry towards the inevitable desire and

The needs for increasing amounts of electric power and to conserve locally limited fresh water supply can sometimes come into conflict

A creative combination of electrochemical water treatment and chemicals was employed

This paper demonstrates rather pointedly that cooling tower performance and operation is not so straightforwardly simple as it many times is thought to be
