Type of article: Article
Summary
The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) needs cooling water (CW) to operate efficiently and safely. Cooling water may be in either a circulating or open tower. Circulating CW needs regular chemical dosing and monitoring to maintain desired water conditions. System performance is dependent on several factors: the right chemical type, sufficient dosing, makeup water quality, plant location and the beneficiary plant characteristics.
