A Low-Cost, Safe, Effective Halogen Disinfectant For Cooling Towers
By Susan B. Rivera, Patrick Gill, and Rodney Herrington
On-site, on-demand generation of MIOX mixed oxidant disinfecting solution provides several advantages for the cooling tower industry. These include excellent control of microbial populations even at the elevated pH typical of cooling tower waters, no negative impact on traditional scale and corrosion inhibitors, and environmentally friendly operating conditions. As an inherently safe technology, it only uses common sodium chloride salt as a feed stock. The solution can be fed directly to the cooling tower and controlled via Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP). Case studies demonstrate significant reductions in operational costs when compared to conventional biocide chemicals, not only on a commodity cost basis, but also for elimination of safety related costs. This paper uses case studies and laboratory data to demonstrate mixed oxidant advantages for cooling tower disinfection.
