87-05: Alkaline All-Organic Cooling Water Treatment (Field & LaboratoryThis paper describes recent experiences with newer all organic alkaline treatment programs. The information presented will include both pilot scale and field generated corrosion and scale control performance data under a variety of operating conditions. Analytical information which assist in defining performance and explaining results will also be presented in order to enhance the reader's understanding of these programs.
