73-02: Atmospheric Effects of Water Cooling Facilities CorrosionRecirculatory cooling systems using natural or mechanical draft towers, sprays, canals, ponds or lakes are becoming more popular with steam electric stations. Today's trends are towards developing larger generating stations at each site. This change has occurred due to concern about waste heat disposal and thermal pollution effects caused by traditional once through systems. Simultaneous with this concern about thermal pollution and the trend towards

Evaluations of biocide treatment programs are made by monitoring the microbial cells (algal
