Deposition in industrial cooling systems can come in a variety of forms. To effectively control or remove any deposition, a thorough understanding of the type of deposit must be made. Before a cleaning program can be formulated, a sample of the deposit should be obtained and a chemical analysis should be completed. From this information a customized cleaning approach can be formulated utilizing various chemicals to address different compounds in the deposit. This paper will discuss the various types of deposits encountered and discuss case histories where customized cleaning programs were formulated and applied.
