82-02: Use of a Fouling/Corrosion Monitor to Optimize an Organic Cooling WaterThis paper details a method used to streamline and optimize an organic corrosion inhibitor program at a southwest gas processing plant. It involves the use of data generated by a portable fouling, corrosion monitor that is capable of simulating a plant's critical heat exchangers. Both velocity and surface temperature are duplicated in order to provide an identical environment for fouling and corrosion that is occurring in the plants equipment.

Depending on the elements to be surveyed

The main target of these R&D efforts was and is the improvement of the evenness of water distribution in cooling towers and consequentially the overall cooling performance

Industrial cooling towers have long been seen as an ideal repository for wastewater because of the large volumes of water necessary for evaporative cooling

water conservation and recycling with a focus on sustainability

corrosion rates experienced in the systems and deposit composition when experienced

Over the pas two years

Cooling towers are the equipment responsible for reducing the temperature of hot water from the process

Within Cooling Towers

The different types of design

ranging from desalination to power generation
