Chlorine has traditionally been the microbiocide of choice in many industrial cooling water treatment applications. However, due to recent changes in chlorine discharge limitations and the ever increasing concern regarding safety and handling, much attention has been focused on the application of various alternatives to gaseous chlorine. While the effects of chlorine are well established, there is little reported data on the effect of alternative oxidizers on organophosphorus compounds used for cooling water deposit and corrosion control. New comparative data is presented evaluating the stability of various organophosphorus compounds with alternative oxidizers including bromine, chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite at various temperatures, molar ratios and water characteristics.
