06-16: Optimizing Industrial Cooling Water System Performance with Proper Cooling Tower Water Treatment ProgramsProper monitoring and control are the keys to cooling water system optimization. Technological developments in monitoring equipment and data acquisition systems have increased the options and reduced the cost of modernization to maximize cooling water system reliability in industrial systems. The benefits of proper control are measurable and translate to improved system efficiency and reliability. This paper will discuss the use of on line

and consumes less energy and less water than either of the other options

biocides must be used in high concentrations

will also be presented

environmental impacts

Abstract:As fresh water becomes increasingly scarce in the United States

Attention to these considerations will minimize the forces which the cooling tower must withstand

A challenge in successful operation of cooling towers today with VFD's revolves more around proper application than technological limitations in the equipment

The conclusions that were drawn are verified with field data

A further mechanistic investigation has revealed the mode of action of HPA as a true corrosion inhibitor in a range of water chemistries and application conditions

The State and Federal regulatory bodies are expected to sanction control stand­ards that will negate the use of chromates and zinc without acceptable disposal methods

Certification capacities by the CTI assure the tower purchaser of full performance without the need for field-testing

it is possible to create a "universal" motor that covers a wide range of requirements
