Author(s) : Aquaprox

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guidebook for good water quality and safe installations offers concrete solutions covering all problems encountered in the management of industrial cooling circuits (steelworks, mechanics, chemistry, food sector, energy production) and the waste generated. It highlights simple elements of studies, of monitoring and regulation that make it possible to achieve the required targets, in terms of performance and efficiency of the units: to save energy, to extend industrial equipment's life span by managing corrosion, scale-formation, fouling and bacteriological growth; to protect the environment and guarantee hygiene and environmental safety. Extract of the table of contents: Untreated water and water treatment (physical and thermodynamic properties; impurities; filtering); Cooling water (saving energy and water in the treatment; history of cooling-water treatment; cooling circuits; fundamentals of cooling-towers: deposits and their treatment; regulating and monitoring scale formation and fouling; corrosion and its treatment; microbiological fouling and its treatments: cooling-tower microbiology and Legionella; starting the cooling units).
