97-08: Twenty Minutes with Molybdate Cooling Tower Water Treatment ProgramsThis paper reviews several important aspects of molybdate inhibition, and outlines how it can be efficiently employed in practice. The data presented includes some little known work on in situ pitting corrosion measurements featuring proton induced characteristic x ray emission and D. C. Impedance, and new data from unpublished work done in the UK. Synergism, mechanism and pitting inhibition are covered in some detail. Further work reviewed includes

Kentucky Power Company's Big Sandy Unit 1 cooling tower was the first built in this country using large-scale natural draft design with a concrete hyperbolic shell

The PVC is also treated to obtain the output of the facility clean PVC ready for recycling

It is not unusual for a catastrophe in a totally unrelated area to have a marked effect upon the future of one's own industry

The second phase
