    This document discusses biological problems that can occur in cooling water systems, including deposits from fouling, scaling, and corrosion, as well as biological growth from microbial fouling and water contamination. Microorganisms enter cooling water systems from the makeup water source and through airborne microorganisms. Their growth is affected by factors like the degree of contamination, available food sources from process leaks, debris, and waste, as well as environmental conditions like oxygen, pH, temperature, and sunlight. Proper control is needed to manage microbial growth and the problems it can cause in cooling systems.
