80-02: Fundamental Considerations in Biofouling ControlThe term fouling refers to the formationof inorganic and or organic deposits on surfaces. In cooling systems, these deposits form on condenser tube walls increasing fluid frictional resistance, accelerating corrosion and impairing heat transfer. Biological fouling, or Biofouling, results from the attachment and growth of microbial organisms (microfouling) or microbial organisms (macrofouling). This paper is directed at microbial fouling.

the timing is right to review the capability of these new motors in cooling tower applications

(2) inadequate hydraulic balancing

and substantial increase in tower performance can result from reducing the fan blade tip clearance on cooling towers

the reply often centers on the cost of specialty chemicals used in the program

contaminants in the waste streams frequently present new and significant challenges in corrosion control

Following its successful application in air-conditioning as marketed by the Coolerado Corporation

This paper researches technology to aid in defining the term "Green" as it applies to cooling water systems

A systematic laboratory method of evaluating weight gain due to bio-fouling and sediment accumulation illustrates the effects that these different design elements have on the actual fouling resistnace of this type of fill

which is feed for 10 minutes every 3 weeks to 5 ppm active reduced corrosion rates to 0
