CORROSION CONTROL IN COOLING TOWER SYSTEMS: INHIBITION THEORY AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.

Summary

CORROSION THEORY AND THE VARIOUS ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT OCCUR WHEN IRON CORRODES IN AERATED COOLING TOWER WATER ARE DISCUSSED. CORROSION INHIBITION MECHANISMS ARE PRESENTED ALONG WITH AN HISTORICAL REVIEW OF PAST AND PRESENT INHIBITOR TREATMENT PROGRAMS. THESE INCLUDE THE USE OF LESS SKILLED MANPOWER, GREATER CUSTOMER RELIANCE ON CHEMICALS AND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS, AND THE NEED FOR CLOSE CONTROL OF WATER TREATMENT PARAMETERS. DETAILED DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED ON 4 MAJOR CONTROL AREAS: CONCENTRATION CONTROL, CHEMICAL FEED, PH CONTROL, AND MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTROL.
