CI No. 98 Cooling Water Compound

Scale and corrosion treatment for open recirculating cooling towers.

Concentrated cooling water treatment for open recirculating cooling towers and condenser feed water. Anti-scaling agents combined with cathodic and anodic inhibitors protect steel and soft metals, while alkalinity control supports higher cycles of concentration. Feed rate scales with makeup water volume and cycle rate, making it a practical treatment compound for standard monitored tower programs. Control is maintained against pH 7.5–8.5 and phosphonate residual at 25–30 ppm as AMP (NTP), or orthophosphate at 15–20 ppm as PO₄. Compared with No. 87, No. 98 sits in the same scale-and-corrosion lane but presents as the leaner cooling tower program — the core treatment chemistry and residual targets without the fuller monitoring window built around tighter conductivity and M-alkalinity limits.

CI No. 98 Cooling Water Compound

Concentrated cooling water treatment for open recirculating cooling towers and condenser feed water. Anti-scaling agents combined with cathodic and anodic inhibitors protect steel and soft metals, while alkalinity control supports higher cycles of concentration. Positioned as the leaner monitored tower-treatment program: core scale and corrosion control with clear pH and residual targets, without the fuller conductivity and M-alkalinity operating window specified for No. 87.

Program Position
Leaner Tower Treatment Profile Than No. 87, With Core Residual Targets but Less Fully Specified Operating Limits

Operational Notes
• This is the scale-and-corrosion treatment compound for open recirculating towers, not the microbiological control product
• Strong fit where the operator wants core chemistry control around pH and residual testing without building the whole writeup around tighter conductivity and M-alkalinity targets
• Initial treatment is 1 part product to 2000 parts system water, with maintenance feed scaled to makeup water volume and cycle rate
• Daily analysis should include alkalinity, pH, and organophosphonates or phosphates, with periodic checks on feed water alkalinity
• Compared with No. 87, No. 98 sits in the same operating lane but presents as the less fully specified tower-treatment program
• Best used where the buyer needs straightforward open-tower scale and corrosion chemistry with real residual targets, but not the fuller “tight envelope” positioning of No. 87

Practical Fit
CI No. 98 is the leaner open-tower treatment compound in the line: scale control, corrosion protection, and cycle support built around the core monitoring targets tower operators actually run every day. It belongs in open recirculating cooling towers where the program is real and monitored, but the writeup does not need the fuller operating envelope that distinguishes No. 87.
