This article discusses the development and testing of a new deposit and corrosion control inhibitor for industrial cooling water systems. This new inhibitor has been designed to control the deposition of calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, iron oxide, and silt. It also inhibits ferrous metal corrosion. The multifunctional properties which allow the control of both deposits and corrosion enable this inhibitor to provide a basic building block for a new generation of cooling water treatment programs or to be used alone for specific waters.
