90-13: Effects of Molybdate in Cooling Water Treatment Programs Thermal Performance Additions of organic additives such

Additions of organic additives such as Diols have made these programs equal in effectiveness to the classic chromate programs without sacrificing cost

” Such considerations include building codes

The make-up for the third and final phase consisted of biologically treated and filtered water with a dispersant and a phosphorus-based corrosion inhibitor

90-13: Effects of Molybdate in Cooling Water Treatment Programs Thermal Performance Additions of organic additives suchThe effectiveness of molybdate as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems has been studied. The historical comparison to chromate is not appropriate because of chromate's greater oxidizing ability. Molybdate can function as a localized corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. Laboratory studies indicate that molybdate may be effective when used in conjunction with cathodic and other anodic inhibitors. Comparative cooling tower tests with and without
