| Abstract: | The usefulness and applicability of water indices such as Langelier saturation
index, Ryznar stability index and Practical scale index for predicting the
corrosive/scale forming tendency of chemically treated open recirculating
cooling water has been studied. The study is based on the obtained corrosion
and scale data for the period from May 1998 to December 2007, carried out at
Fast Breeder Test Reactor, Kalpakkam, India. All the indices are calculated
using pH, calcium, total dissolved
solids, temperature and alkalinity of cooling water. Practical scale index and
Ryznar stability index are found to be more informative than Langelier
Saturation Index in keeping track of the corrosive/scaling tendency of the
cooling water. |
