Cooling water chlorination.

Author(s) : COPPER B.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The author explains the action of chlorine as a water treatment agent and the effect of pH value, temperature and concentration on its speed of action as a biocide. Systems design is important in that dead legs, or similar slow flow areas, may create shields for organism growth, as also may rough surfaces and slime layers. The use of chlorine is described both as a cure for a biological build up and as a preventative control measure. When using chlorine, an accurate pH meter is recommended. Regular dosing is preferred and entry points to the system are shown. Regulations covering handling and storage of chlorine must be obeyed, also those governing discharge of system water. D.W.H.
