Influence of Chlorination and Choice of Materials on Fouling in Cooling Water System under Brackish Seawater Conditions
Abstract
Cooling systems remove heat from components andindustrial equipment. Water cooling, employing naturalwaters, is typically used for cooling large industrialfacilities, such as power plants, factories orrefineries. Due to moderate temperatures, cooling watercycles are susceptible to biofouling, inorganic foulingand scaling, which may reduce heat transfer and enhancecorrosion. Hypochlorite treatment or antifouling coatingsare used to prevent biological fouling in these systems.In this research, we examine biofouling and materials'degradation in a brackish seawater environment using arange of test materials, both uncoated and coated. Thefouling and corrosion resistance of titanium alloy(Ti-6Al-4V), super austenitic stainless steel (254SMO)and epoxy-coated carbon steel (Intershield Inerta160)were studied in the absence and presence of hypochlorite.Our results demonstrate that biological fouling isintensive in cooling systems using brackish seawater insub-arctic areas. The microfouling comprised a vastdiversity of bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae andprotozoa. Chlorination was effective against biologicalfouling: up to a 10-1000-fold decrease in bacterial andarchaeal numbers was detected. Chlorination also changedthe diversity of the biofilm-forming community.Nevertheless, our results also suggest that chlorinationenhances cracking of the epoxy coating.
