These programs will help prevent problems such as fouling that can seriously impact on the production and profitability of cooling systems. Benefits include improved economics and performance.
The use of water for process cooling is widely practiced throughout the chemical process industries (CPI). Within the past few years, technological developments have expanded the ability of treatment programs to more effectively and economically control inorganic deposition, biofouling, and corrosion in both open and closed recirculating cooling systems. An overview of current treatment technology and guidelines is provided here. However, because of wide variations in cooling water chemistry, ...
