85-14: The Effects of Oil Contamination and Suspended Solids on Fouling andOil contamination represents a major problem to many large industrial cooling water systems. Oil can act as a nutrient for biological fouling, causes more voluminous deposits by agglomerating suspended solids and can interfere with film formation of corrosion inhibitors, thereby increasing corrosion rates. Hydrocarbon dumps in oil refineries, lubricating oils in steel mills and other oil based process leaks all contribute to the above mentioned

the need for flexibility to permit evaluation of alternative proposals

the new protocol has been shown to be more accurate

Significant reductions in mechanical properties were found and consistent relationships between awl penetration and mechanical properties were observed

The driving force was often “image”

field test results will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of VRTX system in controlling bacteria and Legionella in cooling water systems

using recycled water with high ammonia contents for cooling water make-up adopted a new economical stabilized halogen technology to solve bio-treatment problems

including two column cross-section configurations with various lengths

The results of the wind load analysis can be useful to plant owners in assessing the risks associated with the existing condition of the natural-draft cooling tower structure

Following its successful application in air-conditioning as marketed by the Coolerado Corporation

The Simplex pitot tube has long been used for water flow rate determinations

This publication will address these factors with case studies in an effort to minimize risk of loss

A sequential study was conducted comparing water treatment performance of traditional chemical water treatment and Dolphin "pulsed power" water treatment
