10-02: Silica Scale Inhibition - A Kinetic Study Environmental ImpactThe formation of silica and silicate scales in the chemical process industries is a significant on going problem with large economic consequences. The fouling of surfaces can reduce heat transfer and cooling efficiencies. This may also affect reaction kinetics. The removal of such scales is often a complex mechanical or chemical process and the up front prevention of their formation is a much desired solution to the problem. In this presentation, we

Limited water resources combined with wastewater discharge concerns have made water reuse a growing focus of the industry

Prior to initiating reinforced concrete repairs at a Cooling Tower

what is it about corrosion that allows all these factors - many apparently unrelated - to be possible causes

has recently been performed

The paper will discuss recent innovations in solid biocides and the numerous advantages over their liquid counterparts

This depends largely on how you prepare for and carry out the ini­tial startup

many design features must be considered to produce optimum performance

and permit its recovery in a form suitable for reuse as a corrosion inhibitor

Guidelines for reducing uncertainty are provided for mechanical and natural draft towers

the choice of best product for th application becomes more critical

Energy conservation strategies in cooling towers involve more than a cursory examination of fan horsepower consumption

fan power savings from 10% to more than 50% can be achieved along with water consumption savings from 10% to more than 30%
