23-04: A New Solutions for Mitigation of Performance Degradation Due to Cooling Tower System Stresses Standards and Specifications

23-04: A New Solutions for Mitigation of Performance Degradation Due to Cooling Tower System Stresses Standards and SpecificationsThe nonchromate phosphorus based cooling tower corrosion inhibitor formulations in wide use today often suffer from performance degradation due to system stresses. These stresses can include mechanical factors such as low flow exchangers and hot spots in cooling loops, operational factors such as the need to operate at high concentration factors or chemical factors such as non optimal makeup water composition or high levels of oxidizing biocides.

water has essentially been viewed as a free or very low-cost commodity but this perception of a plentiful resource is changing rapidly as communities across the country begin to face limitations in fresh water supply
