2 Investment vs Operating cost The average 800,000 ft² Property has $24,000,000.00 replaceable physical plant. The cost of water treatment is $0.02 - $0.04/ ft² to protect this investment. The average 800,000 ft² Property has $24,000,000.00 replaceable physical plant. The cost of water treatment is $0.02 - $0.04/ ft² to protect this investment. The industrial market costs are higher. A 200,000 square foot plant may have roughly $100,000,000 in replaceable physical plant. Water treatment cost may be in the vicinity of $0.10-$0.20 / ft² The industrial market costs are higher. A 200,000 square foot plant may have roughly $100,000,000 in replaceable physical plant. Water treatment cost may be in the vicinity of $0.10-$0.20 / ft² The owner loses $6 million per year (at 6% cost of money) for every year of lost life as a result of poor water treatment. The owner loses $6 million per year (at 6% cost of money) for every year of lost life as a result of poor water treatment.

3 Who is in charge of your Investment ??? The Treatment Supplier tells you what your problems are. The Treatment Supplier tells you what your problems are. Then they tell you what chemicals to use. Then they tell you what chemicals to use. Then they tell you how much they will cost. Then they tell you how much they will cost. Then they tell you when it is working. Then they tell you when it is working. You know when its not working when something fails. You know when its not working when something fails.

14 CORROSION CONTROL

15 Tower Corrosion Inhibitors Mild Steel Mild Steel –Phosphates Phosphonates Phosphonates Polyphosphates Polyphosphates Ortho-phosphates Ortho-phosphates –Molybdenum –Zinc –Silicates –Others –Blends Copper Copper –Tolytriazole –BT –MBT –HRA –Others?

16 Closed Loop Corrosion Inhibitors Mild Steel Mild Steel –Molybdenum –Nitrite –Silicates –Others –Blends Copper Copper –Tolytriazole

17 Corrosion Control.  Corrosion Rates  Less than 1.0 mils/yr for steel and less than 0.1 mils/yr. for copper.  Less than 0.5 mils/yr. for steel and less than 0.1 mils/yr. for copper.

22 Aerobic Bacteria Aerobic Bacteria –slime Anaerobic Bacteria Anaerobic Bacteria –SRB, IRB Algae Algae Legionella Bacteria Legionella Bacteria –7 different sero groups Dual Alternating Biocide Program Dual Alternating Biocide Program

23 Types of Biocides Oxidizing Oxidizing –Chlorine Sodium Hypochlorite Sodium Hypochlorite –Bromine Liquid Bromine Liquid Bromine Sodium Bromide Sodium Bromide –Bromine/Chlorine Donors (solids) Hydantoin, Others Hydantoin, Others Ozone, chlorine dioxide, chlorine gas Ozone, chlorine dioxide, chlorine gas Non-oxidizing Non-oxidizing –Glutaraldehyde –Isothiazolone –DBNPA –Ethylene Chloride –Carbamates –Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

24 Field Testing

25 Bacteria Performance Aerobic Bacteria should at or less than 10,000 cells/ml in open condenser water systems Aerobic Bacteria should at or less than 10,000 cells/ml in open condenser water systems Bacteria should be at or less than 1,000 cells/ml in closed loops. Bacteria should be at or less than 1,000 cells/ml in closed loops. Anaerobic Bacteria at or below 50 cells/ml Anaerobic Bacteria at or below 50 cells/ml

26 SCALE CONTROL

27 Scale Inhibitors and Control REALLY DEPENDING ON THE HARDNESS + ALKALINITY TO PROVIDE THE MILD STEEL CORROSION CONTROL. REALLY DEPENDING ON THE HARDNESS + ALKALINITY TO PROVIDE THE MILD STEEL CORROSION CONTROL. YOU WORK ON DEPOSITON CONTROL. YOU WORK ON DEPOSITON CONTROL.
