French Creek Software is prominently featured in AWT’s current issue of the Analyst with “The Kinetics of Cooling Water Scale Formation and Control”, written by French Creek Software President, Robert J. Ferguson. The paper will be presented at the AWT Annual Convention, September 14-17, 2011, in Atlanta, Georgia.
ABSTRACT
The prediction of scale formation in cooling water systems is increasingly of economic significance, and is of special interest as chemists push the envelope of operation and control through water resue, the utilization of less than desirable waters for makeup (including high TDS sources, high silica waters, and those with high levels of barium and strontium), and through concentrating the recirculating water to the mechanical limits of an open recirculating cooling water system. Thermodynamic indices have been used traditionally to predict scale in these and other industrial water systems where mineral scale formation can be a costly problem.
The Analyst, the Association of Water Technology’s quarterly magazine represents the water treatment industry by presenting new technologies in the areas of cooling, boiler, and wastewater treatment. Each issue highlights current developments in industrial water treatment, while emphasizing practical applications of available technologies. Find out more about the AWT at www.awt.org
