Condenser microbiofouling control handbook. Final report
- Fourth Floor Databases, Inc., Palo Alto, CA (United States)
This handbook is a unified source of information to support the decisions that must be made to control microbiofouling. It is organized to help power plant engineers and operators (1) understand the causes of biofouling and how this knowledge can be used to develop an effective cleaning process, (2) move through the regulatory maze to find the regulations applicable to their own plant, (3) monitor biofouling, including on-line, off-line, direct, and indirect methods, (4) calculate the economic penalties for biofouling, (5) evaluate various chemical control methods in terms of system design and operation, biocontrol agents, specific restrictive environmental regulations, chemical application methods, and safety and exposure for workers, (6) evaluate mechanical cleaning methods, both on-line and off-line. Worksheets and examples are provided in many sections to guide operators to a more solid understanding of their problems and possible solutions. The handbook contains 46 figures, 28 tables, several case studies, and a complete index to aid the user in selecting appropriate sections of the handbook to read or review.
