20-08: Rapid Microbial Detection, Quantification, and ControlMicrobial control continues to be a major topic in cooling water applications, with changes in physical conditions and inflow rapidly impacting the ability of a biocide regimen to adequately control the populations of microbes. ATP and petri films have long been the standard for microbial detection, but these technologies either fail to provide specificity regarding the microbes being measured, or do not provide data in a duration that allows for

When assessed in depth

corrective action can be initiated and repairs can be budgeted

guided or allowed to float free on a cooling tower

This unique product resulted in lower overall dosages of microbiocide with more effectiveness and longer lasting results

Chlorine dioxide has various benefits compared to other oxidizing biocides

The presence of these algal mats or stringers clearly shows that the cooling water program is out of control

With metallic treatments such as zinc and chromate under close scrutiny by governmental agencies

This code is similar to the open circuit tower in both form and function except for the fluid circuits
