90-06: Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Nitromethane: An Evaluation of a Versatile Cooling TestingDuring the past decade, a compendium of new environmental regulations, health and safety concerns, performance objectives and economic consideration have curtailed the use of many microbiocides in cooling water treatment applications. In light of these developments, the primary objective of this paper will be to evaluate the use of Tris (Hydroxymenthyl) Nitromethane (TN), a product only recently introduced to the cooling water marketplace, as a

and precipitates during the fowling process

Part III - Appendix: example evaluation of mechanical draft cooling tower

forming biofilms that inhibit heat transfer

Products are available for both the commercial and middle-market segments that deliver the convenience and consistent activity that is much valued in these market segments

more advanced techniques that may be used within reuse projects are discussed within this paper

Factors to be considered will be cycles of concentration and operational load

with supporting data

high biocide concentrations may increase toxicity in water in some instances and could result in discharge problems

water consumption but are susceptible to adverse wind conditions

The thermal performance of a cooling tower can be regulated by varying fan power

will also be discussed

One Example of hazard is the obstruction of vision along a well-traveled roadway adjacent to a tower
