96-09: Optical Monitor for Improved Fouling Control in Cooling Systems Analysis MethodControl of soft deposits in cooling systems is an important objective of water treatment programs. Traditional ways of monitoring include measuring suspended solids, counting planktonic microorganisms, and surface fouling methods involving coupons, pressure drop, and heat transfer resistance. In this paper we describe a simple, on line, optical technique of continuous monitoring of surface fouling. This automated instrument records fouling data and

An R&D drift-testing program was conducted in 1990 in a cooling tower test cell to confirm that the drift rate limit would be achievable when field-tested using EPA Method 5
