23-16: A Comparison of a New Maleic Terpolymer with Current Maleic Terpolymers for use in Cooling Towers Energy Evaluation term asset management

term asset management

Preservative treatment of cooling tower lumber has been considered a necessity for many years

Some of these features are not obvious to the casual observer and if not chosen correctly can adversely affect tower performance

based on practical systems conditions

This paper details the evaluation process for cooling tower operations at a Gulf Coast site

23-16: A Comparison of a New Maleic Terpolymer with Current Maleic Terpolymers for use in Cooling Towers Energy Evaluation term asset managementAt present, cooling water formulations include using several maleic terpolymers to control calcium carbonate and perform corrosion control when used with zinc. This laboratory study compares a new maleic terpolymer (MTP A) with current maleic terpolymers in tests of calcium carbonate inhibition, calcium sulfate inhibition, calcium phosphate inhibition, silt dispersion, and iron oxide dispersion to assess the efficiency of scale control. The study
