3D TRASAR Scale Control
prevents scale formation by continuously monitoring the activity of an
innovative “tagged” high stress dispersant polymer. As scale forming particles increase in the
cooling system, the active polymer is consumed. By monitoring this consumption rate and the active
polymer level, 3D TRASAR Scale Control can take corrective action well before the conditions
needed to produce scale can occur.
Use 3D TRASAR Scale Control to
:
• Optimize water and chemical use by actively managing the system based on the stresses
placed upon it.
• Improve throughput by maintaining equipment at peak efficiency, even as operational
factors vary.
• Reduce downtime and maintenance costs by preventing mineral scale, and particulate
fouling.
• Increase asset life and maintain asset reliability by preventing degradation during upsets
and process leaks.
3D TRASAR Bio-Control
is an entirely new, innovative approach to the control of bio-populations in
cooling systems. Afluorescent “bio-reporter” is introduced into the cooling system and reacts
enzymatically with microbes. The reaction changes the bio-reporter’s fluorescent signature. 3D
TRASAR Bio-Control measures the difference between the reacted and unreacted bio-reporter and
adjusts biocide feed to optimize control. 3D TRASAR Bio-Control is the only bio-control system
available that adjusts system operation in response to changes in bio-activity. This unique Nalco
innovation delivers comprehensive, continuous control of both sessile and planktonic bio-popula-
tions.
Use 3D TRASAR Bio-Control to
:
• Compensate for variations in makeup bio-populations.
• Prevent underdeposit corrosion by controlling sessile bio-populations.
• Optimize water and chemical use by actively managing the system based on the actual bio-
activity present.
• Reduce downtime and maintenance costs by preventing the corrosion and fouling associ-
ated with bio-activity.
• Increase asset life and maintain asset reliability by preventing degradation during upsets
and contamination.
NCM Corrosion Monitoring Technology
is also incorporated in the 3D TRASAR 5500. This
patented technology automatically recognizes the corrosion rates of up to 2 different metallurgies.
The available metallurgies include mild steel, galvanized steel, copper, brass, CuNi 90/10, CuNi 70/
30, and aluminum. By monitoring corrosion rates continuously (vs. 90-day snapshots) corrective
action can be taken before the problem becomes serious.
1.5.3 Data Storage / Reporting and Communications
The 3D TRASAR 3500 and 5500 controllers are able to automatically e-mail stored measurements
to a central database that is accessible via the Internet. This allows operational data to be viewed
and analyzed remotely, from one or more authorized locations using just a standard web browser.
Reports may also be setup and automatically emailed on determined dates or at specified times.
