Makeup to a large Du Pont process cooling tower is sixty percent hydrogen cycle cation unit effluent and forty percent demineralized water. The aggressiveness and low buffering capacity of this water has made corrosion control difficult. This paper discusses the history of cooling tower treatment performance and reviews recent improvements made through the use of a zinc-molybdate inhibitor and a unique oxidizing biocide,
