88-08: Polymer Blending for Dispersion and Deposit Control Environmental Importance

88-08: Polymer Blending for Dispersion and Deposit Control Environmental ImportanceA recurring problem of industrial cooling systems is deposition of particulates brought into the cooling system from outside the unit and those particulates generated within the system. Polymers and co polymers have been applied with considerable success to specific types of particulates. The types of particulates can be quite varied depending on both the treatment and the nature of the water. Frequently, a single polymer or co polymer is effective in
