23-18: Overstabilization of Stabilized Bromine: Should this be a Significant Concern Non Oxidizing Biocides

23-18: Overstabilization of Stabilized Bromine: Should this be a Significant Concern Non Oxidizing BiocidesThe buildup of stabilizer in a cooling tower over time and the possibility of diminished biocidal efficacy is a concern, especially in cooling towers with high cycles of concentration. There is certainly some precedent for this concern as chlorine in swimming pools can be overstabilized by cyanuric acid. It has been speculated that having a certain level of stabilizer in a cooling tower would indicate the biocide is overstabilized. However, the

Conclusions are drawn on the impact of such regulations on the water treatment program

A trial was run on solid bromine releasing compounds and on activated sodium bromide

Elimination of the need for a hot water temperature correction by use of these codes is explained

we will review the advantage from being able to run at higher cycles of concentration

This paper will help in gaining insight regarding pipeline owner’s shift in approach for management of circulating water pipelines as well as technologies being implemented for condition assessment and structural rehabilitation of circulating water pipelines

The conclusions will report the results obtained including comparison to CTI Standards and tower history
