Cooling towers are breeding grounds for both scale and microbes. Combining HEDP with BKC offers an integrated approach. HEDP keeps the heat exchange surfaces clean by inhibiting scale, while BKC controls the biological growth that forms slimy biofilms. This dual-action program not only improves thermal efficiency but also reduces the risk of pitting corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria under deposits. Many plants have adopted this combination and reported increased production uptime and lower chemical handling costs.
