89-10: Performance of Molybdates as an Alternative to ChromatesAs the EPA deadline banning the use of chromates in comfort cooling towers (CCT's) approaches, water treatment vendors such as ourselves are seeking alternative methods to effectively threaten CCT's. Molybdates are one such alternative. This paper will detail laboratory and field results that have been obtained using various chromates and molybdates formulations.

This paper discusses the concrete damage due to the corrosion of the reinforcing steel in the nine cooling towers at this nuclear power plant
