PRODUCT NAME

NALCO速 WT-1000 Closed System Corrosion Inhibitor PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION Nalco WT-1000 is a liquid corrosion inhibitor for use in closed cooling and hot water heating systems.

Nalco WT-1000 is a complete inhibitor that provides ferrous metal, copper alloy and aluminum corrosion protection. Nalco WT-1000 is nitrite-free, minimizing the challenge of bacterial control.

Optional TRASAR technology constantly monitors, displays and automatically doses product to a target concentration keeping your system continuously protected.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES These properties are typical. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), SECTION 9, for the most current data.

DOSAGE AND FEEDING The dosage of Nalco WT-1000 will vary depending on the operating characteristics of your system.

Your Nalco sales engineer will recommend the optimum dosage for cost-effective system protection.

The dosage of Nalco WT-1000 is dependent upon system operating conditions. The target dose for Nalco WT-1000 is 2,500 ppm and control range from 1,300 to 2,600 ppm. Dosage less than 1,290 ppm is not recommended.

Corrosion monitoring is recommended using either coupons or the Nalco Corrosion Monitor NCM-100.

Adjust system dosages based on corrosion results to meet application goals.

Biological Activity Nalco WT-1000 does not contain the biological nutrient nitrite that will reduce biological activity stimulation from this compound. However, other contaminants can and will be present that will support biological activity. It is important to make routine biological activity checks to detect and monitor biological activity. Addressing biological activity early in the infestation stage and maintaining low biological activity will help to improve overall corrosion control results and minimize the cost of biological control.

Biological Monitoring Traditionally microbial control programs have been monitored using some type planktonic culture testing such as Dip Slides, which provides total aerobic activity in the flowing water stream. In most closed system applications, biological activity can be controlled at < 103 to 104 CFU/ml; however, each system needs to be evaluated and benchmarked with routine testing.

Planktonic microorganism measurements have never correlated well with sessile population testing.

This is unfortunate since control of the sessile population should be the primary goal of any microbial control program. It's the attached bacteria that does the damage.

When necessary, sessile monitoring tools can be used to measure surface biological activity.

Biocides commonly used in closed systems. Please consult the biocide Selection Line.

WT-407 WT-730 Other biocides could be used in specific conditions. WT-720 is a fast action biocide that will degrade to NH3 and other compounds. The corrosion will increase (mainly in copper and copper alloys areas) in systems with high HTI. Refer to the PAC 3D CPP Presection in the CPP database for a nonoxidizing program selection guide.

PRODUCT FEEDING AND PROGRAM COMPATIBILITY Nalco WT-1000 should be fed via a closed feed system. A closed feed system is defined as a system in which fluid is moved from a closed storage vessel into a treated media without exposure to the atmosphere except through normal venting or pressure relief devices.

Nalco WT-1000 should be fed neat. Do not mix with other chemicals unless otherwise noted.

Unstable reactions may occur that can deteriorate the effectiveness of the product.

Nalco WT-1000 is not compatible with chromate. Using Nalco WT-1000 in chromate treated systems will result in the loss of the corrosion inhibitor program.

Nalco WT-1000 is not compatible with and should not be used in sodium chloride, calcium chloride or lithium bromide brine systems.

Nalco WT-1000 is compatible with uninhibited ethylene and propylene-based glycols. Do not use with Dow-Therm or inhibited glycol solutions. These materials are formulated to provide corrosion protection.

Tip: An automotive anti-freeze hydrometer can be use for simple quick checks of ethylene and propylene glycol. These are available at automotive supply stores. If greater accuracy is required, a laboratory-grade hydrometer should be used.

ROI CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS The ROI can be expressed in terms of what dollar savings the customer experiences by avoiding costly down time (labor and equipment) due to corrosion failures of the closed loop system. In some applications, even one hour of system downtime can represent a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Having a cooling water corrosion treatment program they can rely on represents significant operational cost reduction.
