Scale and corrosion inhibitors for water circulation cooling systems

Abstract

It has been found that organophosphates are more efficient as inhibitors for calcium and magnesium carbonate formation and corrosion, whereas polyacrylic acid and its sulphonic modified derivatives act as stabilizers of carbonate dispersion. The binary mixture of organophosphate and polyacrylate demonstrates high efficiency of inhibiting action. The reagent mode and the complex cooling water treatment program at the Mineral Wax Plant have been developed, reducing the water consumption significantly.
