Chemical vs ozone treatment of cooling towers

OSTI ID:54769
Several studies and field installations have shown ozone to be an effective alternative to conventional chemical treatment of cooling tower water systems. This stand-alone treatment will replace existing multi-chemical treatment programs, while maintaining control of scaling, corrosion and microbiological fouling within the cooling system. The potential mechanism underlying ozone treatment are continually being explored for validity and utility. Unlike conventional chemical programs, ozone treatment based upon applied rates and dosages remain controversial and are being explored for this emerging technology. This report studied the effects of chemical and ozone treatment of a cooling tower over a two year period. Maintenance records for 1993 and 1994 were studied to document the effects of chemical vs ozone treatment. Chiller performance based on kW/Ton were plotted for the different treatment programs.
