16-26: Cooling Water Scale And Corrosion MonitoringThe paper reports the results of the first field evaluation of the Test Heat Exchanger Skid used to monitor scale and corrosion of a cooling water system at skin temperature and velocity.

This deterioration can be quantified and qualified by conducting a condition assessment

Inexpensive well water currently being withdrawn from the ground has been linked with a serious land subsidence problem

The paper will also explore the need for

materials of construction

as some buyers do

This year we are starting to build the new laboratory for the cooling tower research

and modern high heat transfer procedures illustrated with actual hands-on field examples

with supporting data

Two case studies are reported on cooling towers in a utility and a petrochemical plant

The new program utilizes new chemistry that is completely halogen stable and provides performance far superior to that obtained with the industry-standard phosphonate and azole (tolyl triazole)

because water for evaporation is unavailable at the plant site in the winter

The conclusions that were drawn are verified with field data
