CHEMICAL DIVISION
• The purpose of
cooling systems is to
transfer heat from one
substance to another
• The substance that
gives up its heat is
“cooled”
• The substance that
receives the heat is the
“coolant”

( Polyphosphates)
– Prevent scale from agglomerating
Dispersion
( Polymers)
– Affect mineral charge so that scale formers repel
each other
Organophosphonates
Effective scale inhibitors for re circulatory systems
Inhibit scale formation through “ Threshold effect and
Crystal distortion”
Characteristic C-P bond. Relatively stable towards oxidation
& hydrolysis
Commonly used Organophosphonates are
-- ATMP
-- HEDP
-- PBTC

Corrosion Control
• Combination of O-PO4 and Zinc provide corrosion protection for MS.
• O-PO4 is used as Anodic Corrosion Inhibitor. Phosphate residual
ensures optimum corrosion protection without contributing to deposit
formation. Lower O-PO4 will cause corrosion and higher O-PO4 will
cause deposition. PO4-ion accelerate gamma iron film formation
