07-23: A New Organic Closed Loop Corrosion Inhibitor Thermal Performance

07-23: A New Organic Closed Loop Corrosion Inhibitor Thermal PerformanceA new all organic closed loop corrosion inhibitor has been developed that can replace the traditional Molybdate Nitrite products. This product uses a unique combination of three components to provide mild steel corrosion passivation along with a copper inhibitor and polymeric dispersant. The performance results of the new product in actual closed loop system will be discussed. The systems chosen to evaluate the product in field applications represent

this one of a kind laboratory installation incorporates a full size (up to 35ft tall) heat exchanger test section

The basis for these concerns relate to measurable amounts of copper that can be detected in cooling waters in contact with copper in the incoming water

products should be selected on the basis of many aspects and by consensus of company decision-makers to assure optimum choices

phosphorus discharge regulations are becoming more stringent in various locations in the US and around the globe

pH is a common critical parameter in water treatment calculations

cooling tower performance and fan horsepower

Laboratory and pilot cooling towers containing Munsters Fill were used during this research

generally once per shift

lowering environmental impact

The plume was impacting yard operations at an adjacent Operations Center

practical method of evaluating the fan performance since it is a vital factor in the overall tower performance
