The results of this monitoring are provided which shows the outstanding effectiveness of this system in controlling corrosion

During the past decade

both at the production plant and the construction site to ensure each member satisfies the minimum visual and structural standards

Make-up waters with elevated calcium hardness tend to increase the risk of scaling in circulating cooling systems where the concentration of calcium increases through higher Cycles of Concentration (COC)

the supply of this precious natural resource has dwindled to a dangerously low level and is no longer able to handle the huge heat removal chores of industry without alarming thermal effects

and how it can be controlled before and after the tower is assembled

Control is obtained mainly by use of biocides
