Cooling Tower Scale & Corrosion Control — VCYCLETECH

Cooling Tower Scale & Corrosion Control

Scale and corrosion in cooling towers are controlled together with a phosphonate scale inhibitor, an HPAA/PCA corrosion inhibitor, a copper inhibitor (TTA/BTA) and a polymer dispersant.

Scale control

PBTC, HEDP and ATMP provide threshold inhibition; PAAS disperses particles.

Corrosion control

HPAA and PCA protect steel; TTA and BTA protect copper and yellow metals by forming a passive film.

Frequently asked questions

How do you stop corrosion in a cooling tower?

Dose a film-forming corrosion inhibitor (HPAA/PCA) plus an azole (TTA/BTA) for copper, and keep pH and cycles in range.

What inhibitor protects copper in cooling water?

Tolyltriazole (TTA) and benzotriazole (BTA) form a protective film on copper and yellow metals.
