Abstract

The progress of phosphate based program in cooling tower treatment in t he last two decades is reviewed. It is highlighted that the application of advan ced polymer technology makes the use of relatively high phosphate concentrations in the bulk cooling stream possible so that effective carbon steel corrosion co ntrol could be maintained, while eliminating the concern for phosphate depositio n. At the same time, in order to meet environmental demands the low phosphate an d non phosphate program have been developed.
