06-13: Experience with Monitoring and Control of Microbiological Growth Due Environmental Impact

06-13: Experience with Monitoring and Control of Microbiological Growth Due Environmental ImpactMonitoring and controlling microbial growth is vital to the success of a comprehensive cooling water treatment program. Hydrocarbon ingress to the cooling water requires novel approaches to control microbiological fouling. An understanding of the factors that affect microbial growth rates and the components of an effective bacterial mitigation program can minimize the severity of biofouling in the cooling water system. Experience obtained over the

In recent years there has been considerable debate on the merits of designing around lower nominal condenser water flow rates with a higher range in order to improve system lifecycle costs
