A new organic inhibitor, effective in highly cycled cooling water under both high calcite saturation and Langelier Saturation Index1 (LSI) conditions, can expand the range of cooling tower operation. Mechanistic, performance and physical properties of this inhibitor up to 300 times calcite saturation are discussed. Experimental data is confirmed with dynamic test performance.
