Cooling towers: the use of ozone in the management of cooling towers.

Author(s) : MILLER P. B.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Ozone as a biocide for cooling tower circuit water is a strong and fast acting oxidising agent. It has additional advantages over chemical inhibitors and biocides in that it creates a high pH, less corrosive system, produces detritus in a sharp filterable form instead of slime and sludge, and is totally non-polluting and environmentally friendly. On large towers there is also a cost saving, partly because of greater operating time between cleaning. It is however necessary to check materials for resistance to aqueous ozone. The usual method of ozone production is the coronal discharge technique. D.W.H.
