01-08: An Innovative Biodetergent for Fouling Control Testing

01-08: An Innovative Biodetergent for Fouling Control TestingBiofouling control has always been a difficult task for cooling tower treatment programs. The growth of biofilm can aggravated mineral scaling and the deposition of corrosion products. Unchecked biofouling can lead to shut down cooling water operations and created potential human exposure hazards. This paper describes the application of an innovative biodetergent technology to complement conventional biocide programs for fouling control. Two case

Lab data will be presented

The initial startup of a new recirculating cooling tower system can either result in a substantial reduction in the life expectancy of the heat exchangers and it can cause difficulties in maintaining heat transfer just weeks after startup or

The second phase

is highly effective in controlling the growth of algae in cooling water

Water is essential to thermoelectric power plants

The paper will discuss how the Binary Cooling Tower (BCT) can be utilized in evaporative cooling applications to optimize recycle and reuse of circulating water system designs without the risks usually associated with high TDS water
