Can anyone advise on Corrosion inhibitor for atmospheric cooling water system.

Max temp - 80 oC
Min temp-10 oC
Water Volume - 5 m3
S.S pipes

Thanks in advance.
 
Is this a closed loop system or a cooling tower? If a tower, how many cycles and what is the chemistry of the water, TDS, hardness, etc. More data is needed for an appropriate response.
 
Its a close loop open to atmos'. the water are cooled by fans. I dont have more information on the water quality.
 
Additional data needed:
what materials contact the water?
 
The first consideration has to be the water quality feeding the tower. Is it naturally corrosive or scale forming? Any water treatment chemical supplier would be happy to do the testing for you. They can then reccommend # of cycles and the appropriate treatment program.
 
After consulting with NALCO like MJCronin advised i decided to use the NALCOL 2000 with addition of NALCOL 73532.

Thank you all for your replies...
