TP24-16 Toward Phosphorus-Neutral Cooling Tower Treatment Using Carbon-Negative Environmentally Friendly AdditiveThe Stabilized Phosphate category of cooling water treatments has become an industry standard since the banning of chromate inhibitors in the late 1970s. They combine good performance, moderate cost and a reasonable environmental profile. However, these programs have their limitations. They represent a balancing act between adequate mild steel corrosion inhibition and calcium phosphate scaling. They also represent a significant environmental liability

There has been considerable use in industrial plants

which is consisted of all wet and wet/dry lanes

The available published literature is reviewed briefly

In addition to providing a theoretical basis

This paper discusses the development and use of unique polymer technology capable of effectively controlling calcium phosphate precipitation

these cooling systems must also operate efficiently

and economically

The event caused major damage in Orange County and subsequently the loss of consistent power persisted for weeks

characterizes their contaminants

local authorities in Las Vegas and Henderson

gravel & water with minor amounts of admixtures (both mineral & chemical)

especially in the high pH environments common to many of today's cooling water systems
