φ Cooling water nearly always contains micro­organisms that threaten to defeat its cooling power. These organisms are the "slime-formers" that mul­tiply at warm temperatures and form mucilaginous films on the water-side surfaces of condensers.

Particles of inorganic matter become imbedded in the slime, producing a tough, insulating coating that greatly retards heat transfer, often to such an extent that condensers cannot function at rated capacity.

To clean out such deposits by any mechanical means requires expensive shutdowns periodically.

for the slime immediately begins to accumulate again after every cleaning. Chlorination, however, destroys slime growths already present, and prevents recur­rence by killing the slime-forming organisms in the water supply, so that water-side surfaces of con­densers remain clean month in and month out.

Every cooling water system requires individual treatment to assure satisfactory slime control at mini­mum expense. W&T engineers will gladly make a sur­vey and recommend the method of chlorine applica­tion best adapted to the particular needs of your plant.
