86-09: Enhanced Water Management Using Bromine Chemistry Plume Abatement

86-09: Enhanced Water Management Using Bromine Chemistry Plume AbatementThe unique chemistry of bromine offers distinct advantages over chlorine in many water treatment situations. Understanding where to use bromine chemistry can produce an enhanced water management program. This paper discusses the differences between bromine and chlorine chemistry especially the effects of pH and ammonia. The most common sources of hypobromous acid (bromine, bromine chloride, bromide salts + chlorine, and N bromo halogen donors) are

This paper will review the methods in use today to control chlorine and review a case study that tried most of these methods

water treatment

This paper deals with methods of determining a blend of polymers for optimum adsorption and effectiveness for a particular solid phase found in a cooling system

total bacteria counts

Laboratory studies indicate that molybdate may be effective when used in conjunction with cathodic and other anodic inhibitors

Cooling tower performance test data published by EPRI and others is re-examined using a full compliment of modifications suggested by others to the standard Merkel method of analysis

other first cost items which vary between one bid and another

effective control of calcium phosphate precipitation must be maintained both in the recirculating cooling water and at heated surfaces if corrosion is to be controlled without a loss of heat transfer efficiency

Other than specifying the loads and support points for the cooling towers

a single polymer or co-polymer is effective in one specific application and much less effective in another

To those whose experience with and exposure to cooling towers have been almost exclusively concerned with towers utilizing mechanical draft
