Summary

WITH PROPER WATER TREATMENT IT IS POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE DEPOSITS, CORROSION AND SLIME, OR MINIMIZE THEIR HARMFUL EFFECTS, THEREBY ASSURING EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE, CONSERVING ENERGY AND KEEPING COSTS DOWN. THE BLOWDOWN FREQUENCY OF COOLING WATER SYSTEMS CAN BE REDUCED BY BOOSTING CYCLES OF CONCENTRATION; THE RESULT IS SAVING IN WATER, CHEMICALS AND ENERGY. A GRAPH SHOWS THE RELATIVE INCREASE IN HORSEPOWER PER TON VS CONDENSER FOULING FACTOR. IN GENERAL, CORROSION IS CONTROLLED BY USING A CORROSION INHIBITOR, WHILE SCALE DEPOSITION IS MINIMIZED BY RESTRICTING MINERAL CONCENTRATION, MAINTAINING CORRECT PH AND ADDING A DISPERSANT. MICROBIOLOGICAL FOULING CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH A BIOCIDE. E.W.S.
