preventive maintenance

Cooling systems are vital and integral components at thousands of industrial plants.  Properly designed and operated chemical treatment systems, preventive maintenance of such, and monitoring are absolutely critical to minimize failures that otherwise may cause partial or full plant outages.  In the next three parts of this series, we will examine the water-side issues of microbiological fouling, scale formation, and corrosion that require attention during both the design and operation of open-recirculating cooling systems like those discussed in Part 1 of this series.
