Quadpolymer Saves Money and Increases Cycles of Concentration at Gulf Coast Chemical Plant
1 PagesBackground The primary cooling system at a Gulf Coast chemical plant was operating at 2–3 cycles of concentration using a competitive alkaline phosphate program. The high pH program, based on a carboxylate technology, provided good results with corrosion rates <1 mpy. However, water consumption and program costs were unnecessarily high because of the low cycles of concentration. Solution A recommendation was made to the plant to evaluate
