COOLING WATER TREATMENT:
Main causes:
Scaling – Due to salts that deposit on high temp surface due to retrograde
solubility
General fouling – Due to insoluble suspended particles forming deposits
on the surface
Biological fouling -This results from abundant growth of Algae, Fungi or
Bacteria on the surface
SCALE CONTROL:

FOULING CONTROL:
Fouling occurs when insoluble suspended particles like iron, mud, silt and
other debris deposit on the surfaces.
Removal of suspended matter from make-up water, re-circulating water,
basin by use of Side-stream filters (filtering 1-5% of the total circulation)
High Water Velocities- A design stage measure for deposit control. This is
always not possible ( Shell side)
Dispersants-Keep the particulates in suspended form
Surfactants-Keep the Hydrocarbons in emulsified form
CORROSION CONTROL:
MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTROL:

localize corrosion
serve as a mortar for rapid buildup of deposits
Control done by dosing chemicals
Biostatic agents : Chemicals that inhibit the growth of microbes
Biocides : Chemicals that kill the microorganisms
Advisable to use biocides in the cooling water treatment – two classes :
Oxidizing Biocides : Chlorine, bromine, Hypochlorite, Chlorine dioxide,
Ozone
Non Oxidizing Biocides : Methylene-bis-thiocyanate (MBT), Organotin
compounds, Aldehydes, Chlorophenols, Sulphones and Thiones,
Carbamates, Isothiazoline
Biofouling – accumulation of deposits of microorganisms forming films
Biodispersants used for dislodging of biofilms and prevention of their
formation
Followed by addition of biocide which kills the released bacteria
pH CONTROL:
