06-13: Experience with Monitoring and Control of Microbiological Growth DueMonitoring and controlling microbial growth is vital to the success of a comprehensive cooling water treatment program. Hydrocarbon ingress to the cooling water requires novel approaches to control microbiological fouling. An understanding of the factors that affect microbial growth rates and the components of an effective bacterial mitigation program can minimize the severity of biofouling in the cooling water system. Experience obtained over the

This paper will document a case of a large cooling tower application in the Gulf Coast that had a 17 parts per billion (ppb) discharge limit placed on it and how ultrafiltration membrane technology was used successfully to lower the cooling tower blowdown copper concentration from 400 ppb to less than 17 ppb
