73-07: Microbiological Control in Cooling Water Systems GeneralMicrobiological control in recirculating systems should be considered equally important as corrosion and inorganic organic fouling control. To maintain maximum efficiency in heat exchange equipment, fouling must be eliminated from heat transfer surfaces and supply lines, Fouling or deposition, whether soh or hard, restricts heat transfer by its relative inability to conduct heat from the medium being cooled to the water whose purpose is to carry the
