94-11: A Mechanistic Study of Corrosion Inhibition by PhosphonatesModern all organic corrosion control programs for cooling water treatment are generally based on phosphonate chemistry. Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of hydroxy phosphono acetic acid (HPA) based formulations compared to those of other phosphonates. Particular interests are the range of applicability, improved corrosion control, and the forgiving nature of the programs in use. A further mechanistic investigation has revealed the mode

The efficiency of the drift eliminator is governed by the channel orientation and geometry and by the air flow rate

Samples of the cooling water were collected
