Title: A New Biobased Non-pesticidal Potentiator for Biocides
Learner Objectives:
Introduce to the AWT community a new green corrosion inhibitor based on polyhydroxylated carboxylic acids with expanded advantages compared to its prior version
Content/Topic Outline:
- revision of the performance results for the first version of green corrosion inhibitor based on monocarboxylic polyhydroxy acid
- discuss manufacturing process changes to enhance the product with higher ratio of dicarboxylic polyhydroxy acid on the final product
- present product comparisons among the two versions indicating the specific niches and limits in cooling water treatment for each product
Presenter:
Matheus Paschoalino
Presentation Description:
In a series of previous papers the valuable properties of polyhydroxylated carboxylic acids have been described. These products are mixtures of mono and dicarboxylic acids. A product consisting of the predominantly of the monocarboxylic polyhydroxy acid has been proven in the field to improve azole and phosphonate performance and have been commercialized. Changes in the manufacturing process have produced a more highly oxidized polyhydroxy acid mixture with a higher ratio of dicarboxylic polyhydroxy acid. In this paper, the advantages of this product are explored across the cooling tower application space and potential formulations are described.
