Implementation and control of cooling water treatment programs are frequently challenging tasks, particularly in light of recent regulatory and safety restrictions. The advent of nonheavy metal and low toxicity corrosion inhibitors has created a need for more effective system control due to tighter operating parameters, performance requirements and cost considerations. This paper details computer-oriented techniques which make this job less troublesome and more cost effective for the end user. Field data will be discussed relating to management of corrosion and deposit inhibitor programs via a remotely accessible computerized fouling and corrosion monitor. On-line advisory and Statistical Process Control software are used to analyze the information and recommend appropriate adjustments to maintain optimum control. Impact of these monitoring methods on overall cooling system water treatment results will be discussed.
