98-06: A New Biocide for Control of Algal Biofouling in Cooling Towers DriftA new, environmentally friendly isothiazolone biocide has been developed. The new biocide, which recently won a "Green Chemistry" award, is highly effective in controlling the growth of algae in cooling water. Laboratory tests demonstrate broad spectrum algicidal properties against a range of green algae and blue green bacteria (cyanobacteria). Field trials, conducted in several regions, confirmed the efficacy of the new biocide at low use levels. The
open recirculating cooling water systems are often consider ideal candidates for reusing industrial waste streams
New non-metallic heat exchanger technologies allows for a lower cost alternative as well as fouling and clog resistance
These misconceptions or "Old Cooling Tower Tales" can cost you money in all phases of dealing with cooling towers
There are several options available to exploit the benefits of the relationship between fan speed
This paper will discuss the benefits and thermal performance levels of modular splash fills vs
the reader might expect to be suddenly presented with a description of one or several cooling towers
Several temperatures are run to give an indication of the effect of temperature on adsorption
and include ammonia
and include limited comparisons with the other methods
Many different nozzle types have been developed and are used in cooling towers worldwide
Initial attempts to use it as cooling tower makeup ere retarded by serious operating problems caused by excessive growth of bacterial slimes
There are instances when an owner wants to assess the thermal performance of just an individual cell of a cooling tower as per ATC 105
